Australian senator's ideal man: rich and 'well-hung'

Sydney (AFP) - An Australian senator (Jacqui Lambie) who told breakfast radio she would only date men who were rich and "well-hung" apologized Tuesday, saying she had tried to hide her embarrassment with a joke.

Lambie later apologized for her comments which followed a string of unrelated questions by the breakfast hosts,

Is it okay to be this revealing and honest as a politician or not politically correct? It skates the line of acceptable behavior but doesn't seem worthy of too much fuss?
 
That doesnt mean I dont question that even as a joke, that it was inappropriate.

Because if it had been a man joking like that, saying something like 'easy with big boobs,' I think that's inappropriate for that setting as well.

Who said she was being honest? It sounds like she was making a joke.

I think she was making a joke, but I also doubt she prefers the opposite qualities...lol
 
Kind of inappropriate but still funny and not really a big deal. Aren't we all looking for that?







I kid.... maybe.... :mrgreen:
 
I would laugh. I know that some others would think it inappropriate, and would advise against it for that reason, but I would not be offended.
 
It'd be better for all of us if politicians were just open and honest even in terms of mundane things.

I think it's amusing. Crude, no doubt, but funny.
 
I think people need to grow up and stop being offended about things there is no reason to be offended by.
 
Any legal behavior that hurts no one (and offending thin-skinned people does not count) is completely acceptable to me.

She could have said that she wanted to do the entire local sports team, one by one for all I care.

Politician's are about policies...not morality.

Anyone that thinks politician's should be role models is, IMO, naive.
 
As someone said in the comments, it's just biology. It's entirely expected that women will prefer men that are taller, have wider shoulders, smaller hips, a muscular build and of course a bigger penis. Just as it is entirely expected men will prefer wider hips and bigger breasts. Does that mean any of this is universal? Of course not, but it is to be expected. I think she was just being honest in a joking manner and all the small dick/average size dudes got offended. Pretty much that was expected too.

I don't understand what there was to apologize for. What's wrong with rich and well-hung? Does it make the poor with tiny liitle dicks insecure? Tough ****. Life ain't fair.

Maybe if they knew how to eat ***** it wouldn't be all about the ****...
 
What she said was the equivalent of a man saying he would only date women
with a big trust fund and big, natural boobs (or tits).

I don't know about Australia, but saying something that sexist in the US would
probably be enough to end a man's political career. A woman might get some
affirmative action slack.
 
There's obviously the gender hypocrisy angle. But more than that, it's not that politicians aren't human, but that they so often flaunt their humanity after preaching such crap as 'family values' and the like. Double standards are liable to cause offence.

Because it is disrespectful inappropriate behaviour on a morning show, that's why.

Agreed. I don't think "offensive" is the right word, as some here have used, but I am struck by the crassness of the remark from someone in such an esteemed position as senator.

The remark shows a momentary lack of class and dignity unbecoming of her position, and she ought to be embarrassed.

No need to dig that deeply in to it, I think it's just a question of good manners.
 
I'm just stunned that a politician accidentally told the truth.



That's a first in history, isn't it? Pity it wasn't about something important...

That is all it is really... if I were in a pick up basketball game and heard language like that I wouldn't bat an eye... from a politician on a morning television show though? Unacceptable.

Right when I posted that I thought, "I should have put in Degas or Rembrandt instead" but left it because Dali is my favourite, :)
 
Meh. The heart wants what the heart wants. :shrug:

Or, rather, the loins want what the loins want.
