[_] Australia's new leader lol Anon 2105895
>> [_] Anon 2105897 Goddamn politicians and their drugs and marijuanas
>> [_] Anon 2105898 oh my god. and I thought obama was shit. i feel bad for aussies. I think both of our countries should get a mulligan on our current leaders
>> [_] Anon 2105900 oh my god... the actual crickets in the background
>> [_] Anon 2105906 You know it's actually a pretty good tactic. He probably realized that there is no context which could make that comment seem less shitty. So he just says nothing. What are the newspapers going to print? "Abbott said nothing"? Everyone is just going to skim over that. What are the TV stations going to broadcast? 1:30m of silence? With the attention span of the average viewer they would probably lose viewers that way because they would switch channels, so they don't do it.

>> [_] Anon 2105951 lol is this for real? he is shaking like a meth crack addict
>> [_] Anon 2105956 >># I think you're just thinking of American viewers here. I don't think Australians will just skim over this.
>> [_] Anon 2105962 >># No? You mean the Australians that elected him in the first place?
>> [_] Anon 2105963 >># Look at the response its getting here, clearly its not just being skimmed over because he is saying nothing, there is nothing he can do to make it all better, not even silence. Just don't be a douche when your the leader of a country. my english is terrible
>> [_] Anon 2105964 That silence was fucking creepy... like he was a drone or android who couldn't process a response or something. FUCK.
>> [_] Anon 2106006 You guys realize that his response was proper when he was actually speaking to another soldier. "We fucked up and got someone killed. It's all our fault." "Shit happens, sorry." Not, "soldiers died!" "shit happens" Two different contexts, dumbasses.
>> [_] Anon 2106012 >># I closed the flash when he didn't say anything because shit happens.
