Staying classy

In today's list of classy politicians in the news -  Michaella Cash:
Innovation and Jobs Minister Michaelia Cash has repeatedly threatened to name "every young woman" in Bill Shorten's office that she has heard rumours about in an extraordinary row at Senate estimates.

Responding to repeated demands by Labor Senator Doug Cameron to name her new chief of staff, Senator Cash shot back that that was a "dangerous road" he was walking.

"If you want to start discussing staff matters be very, very careful. Because I'm happy to sit here and name every young woman in Mr Shorten's office about which rumours in this place abound.
Update:  I see that Tim Blair, who my blog roll is about to move to the "gone completely stupid and offensive" category along with Bolt, seems to think it was a good bit of "calling out" of Labor's "moral grandstanding".   An idiotic take on the matter, given the way Labor was careful to chase Joyce on entitlements only.  (Has Blair noted that even Abbott this afternoon said it was a brain snap that shouldn't have happened?  Has any Coalition member defended it?)

And David Leyonhjelm - retweeting a crap wingnut meme from Prison Planet:

Leyonhjelm apparently doesn't believe in Googling wingnut memes before passing them on - this one  was debunked at Snopes.

Rumours that very few people have heard of.

You know you are hopeless if you are put down by Penny Wong possibly the most over-rated ALP politician.

Heard a journo a while ago saying some Libs thought Shorten has impregnated a staffer alah Joyce a few years ago however they then found out said staffer was a man!

I see some people at Catallaxy are so thick they think there was nothing wrong with a Liberal minister threatening to spread some kind of smeary rumours as a diversion from questioning about her own staff's problems, when even Abbott on the radio criticised it as a "brain snap" that shouldn't have happened.
