Meet Australian Transport Minister Anthony Albanese, who thought he’d get away with ripping off a speech from a Hollywood movie.
More here.
Welcome to the Twitter generation, Tony.
Update: No word on what Michael Douglas thinks, but Dolly Parton is a fan.
She’s tiny, shiny, and a big fan of one Australian man: Anthony Albanese.
Teetering on transparent heels, the rhinestone cowgirl Dolly Parton giggled and posed while wooing the Australian media this morning.
“Y’all want to take some pictures?” she boomed. Down went the microphone, up went the hair, and she sauntered across the stage in a gold patchwork suit, covered in pearls.
She was quick to send her love to the federal Transport Minister.“I have some people I want to thank,” she said, ripping a piece of paper out of her cleavage. “You thought these were boobs? they’re just paper wads.
“I want to especially thank Anthony Albanese,” she said.
“He was so good to make sure we got my buses here … now I don’t know if he’s here today, but if he is, you can come up here and I’ll smear lip gloss all over you.”
Parton travels and lives in a 14.5-metre bus when she is on tour, with a second similar sized vehicle to provide back-up.
But she was told her two assets were too big by Customs, before the Transport Minister intervened.
