Australia's
Sunday News reports on an Australian government official who is facing calls to
resign after admitting
that he sniffed a female lawmaker's chair seat after she had stood up. The
same lawmaker was recently in trouble for snapping the bra of another female
lawmaker.

Troubled Opposition leader Troy Buswell has broken down in
tears at a press conference and admitted he sniffed the chair of a female
Liberal Party staffer.

With tears in his eyes, Mr Buswell had to compose himself before telling the
media in Mandurah this morning that his behaviour had been unacceptable.

Mr Buswell said he had repeatedly refused to deny the allegations because he
wanted to protect the woman involved.

But he broke down after he was asked about the effect of the reports on his
wife.

White people make a news comeback. We all were glad to see Troy Buswell
bouncing back from the bra-strap incident. All things considered, he might have
sniffed the chair before the staffer got up.

I have heard that little boys sometimes sniff little girls chairs...but a grown man...you have got to be kidding.

A grown man, he is leader of the Opposition. A 'big' story, maybe he'll replace Rev Jeremiah Wright in the news.
