Michael Costa, potty mouth. I love it.
Why we can't have politicians like this here in the US is a mystery to me.Consider the case of one Michael Costa (right), who's the treasurer of the state of New South Wales (NSW), in Australia. This, by the way, is the home of the city of Sydney, and by far the most populous state in Australia.
At a recent meeting with union officials, Costa said the following--in public, and on the record:"You blokes can get fucked. You're going to look like dickheads on Monday morning."
A few weeks later, after the Labor MP Geoff Corrigan told a caucus meeting how unpopular the NSW Government was, he received a call from Mr Costa, who told him: "I just want to tell you that you're fucked, you're totally and utterly fucked."
Costa continues the proud and honorable tradition of Australian potty mouth politicians, including Prime Ministers. Could you imagine John McCain or Barack Obama saying this kind of stuff on the record--let alone, not denying it when it went public?

Lewis Black has a great demeanor for politics.
A well-placed expletive can work wonders in so many situations.
