The wit and wisdom of Gough Whitlam

I came across this on a blog

Gough is now a very old man, wheelchair-bound and experiencing periodic bouts of ill health, but his mind and recall are as sharp as pins " and his famed wit, that got him into so much trouble when he was prime minister " remains as acute as ever. “It’s a sign of the times that Australia now has a Mandarin-speaking Prime Minister”, he said. "In the US, they're looking forward to having an English-speaking president.”
