CANBERRA:There are unconfirmed reports that Malcolm Turnbull has been rushed to hospital this morning after badly biting his tongue , above , during a media interview
in which he effusively praised the leadership of Prime Minister
Tony Abbott . The agony of the painful accident is clearly etched on his face. An Irish doctor about to be asked on camera his learned opinion of the Australian economy and the future of the Euro quickly applied a tourniquet to Turnbull's mutilated tongue and placed him in quarantine until after the next election. This prompt medical action will prevent the many timid , slack-jawed members of the Liberal Party from imitating Turnbull in sympathy and lacerating their lickers in public .
