Is it just me, or does anyone else detect a certain tone and demeanor in the admiral's responses that might indicate he thinks this person might be, oh say, a moron? Wink

These guys must have trouble keeping a straight face when faced with such idiocy. It reminds me of this:

There aren't enough chemicals in the world to make this woman brilliant.

I was waiting for her next question,

Will the diesel electric submarine assist our island to keep it afloat should we start to sink into the ocean?

So, who is the glorified cafeteria worker? I looked in the comments but did not find her name. I'll wager she has some other choice soundbites on youtube.

Her name is Pauline Hanson, a conservative populist. Here's a sample of her work:

SO, Mr. Big Shot Admiral, how can a diesel submarine run under water when my diesel CAR needs air to run? Huh? Huh? An' not only that, an' not only that, won't a battery short out when it gets wet? Ha! Got you there! So you gonna buy all these diesel battery submarines and they probably won't even WORK! The Australian public won't stand for this!

Rear Admiral Greg Sammut has never had a lot of sympathy for non critical thinkers, but manages condescension and patience well.

One Nation Senator Pauline Hanson is not the sharpest tool in the shed. The senator is great at dealing with personal attacks, but a proper response leaves her floundering on the beach.

At least the senator didn't ask why there were no windows to see the baddies.

A senator who's questioning an admiral about submarines and she didn't get a briefing beforehand so she could ask intelligent questions???



"It did not really matter what we expected from life, but rather what life expected from us. We needed to stop asking about the meaning of life, and instead to think of ourselves as those who were being questioned by life – daily and hourly. Our answer must consist not in talk and meditation, but in right action and in right conduct. Life ultimately means taking the responsibility to find the right answer to its problems and to fulfill the tasks which it constantly sets for each individual." Viktor Frankl, Man's Search for Meaning, 1946.
