Ode to an overly spinning politician

I'm desparately trying to avoid any reference to the current federal election campaign in Australia. But this is too good to pass up.

Malcolm Turnbull flips 2 children

Politicians are very good at spin, but The Honourable Malcolm Turnbull MP got a little bit out of hand with this yesterday when he flipped 2 children over at Fox Studios in Sydney.

Now Mr Turnbull is a big bloke. I actually met him once, and i suspect that he has similar weight battles to me because he is of strikingly similar build.

But blokes of our dimensions usually (or at least should) know how to harness and control The Awesome Power At Their Command. Not so Malcolm.

The ensuing photo op of weeping children, paramedics tending broken limbs (no! Just joking here) must be every politician's public relations nightmare.
