to make himself sound tough

instead of intelligent, Fatso will come out tonight with a statement to prove he is as much a predator on stupidity and aussies as the Prime Minister and the Amnesty International badge wearing Ruddock are. "Labor is tough on these vile filthy disease ridden boogie men. We will fumigate the whole country and bring in American Toops and pharmaceutical technology to cure us of this plague. The boogie man must be eliminated. You have my word on that."
Poor fulla my country.
