As if his penchant for black helicopters and such wasn't bad enough, he decided to Tweet a bogus Winston Churchill quote because it would prove a point he was trying to make. A pity for him Churchill never said anything of the sort, although his attempt to walk it back was only a partial one:
"What I tweeted was a sentiment that I had," Abbott said at a news conference on changes to the state's bail laws. "It was irrelevant to me who may or may not have said that in the past. I didn't want to be accused of plagiarism for saying it. If no one else said it, attribute the quote to me because it's what I believe in."
Politicians: can't live with 'em. Actually, at times you can't take 'em seriously as adults, either.
