...who employ advisors.
Listen to them.
Seriously.
I know that occastionally, you get an idea in your head that just seems to be the best thing ever. Like, for instance, the best way to answer a question on national television is to break out your mobile phone, set a karaoke tune going, and start (very, very badly) singing and (even worse) dancing along.
But please, pretty please, pleasepleaseplease listen when someone who is not-retarded points out that it is a very bad idea. And if you're not employing an advisor who isn't retarded, seriously consider putting one on the payroll. That way, things like this can be avoided.

Action starts from about 1:30, but start at 1:20 for the question that started it.
That is a minister of the Australian Government, attempting to answer the question "What is the mood in Whyalla?"
Background: Six days before the last federal election, the Prime Minister said on national television "There will be no carbon tax under a government I lead", and excoriated anyone who dared to suggest otherwise.
Which (of course) meant that they brought one in. It started on Sunday.
Now, the government ministers who are trying to 'sell' the tax are going around a day or so after the introduction and pointing out that nothing has vanished into a black hole, therefore all the scaremongering was just that. (They think that the people of Australia are even more retarded than they are)
I'm actually beginning to believe that the current government employs advisors who actually work for the other side of politics. And that these advisors are actively undermining the ruling party by encouraging them to embarass themselves as much as possible. As conspiracy theories go, it's a bit out there, but it explains soooooooo much.
