What a bunch of dickheads:

THE husband of Liberal candidate Karen Chijoff has quit the party after admitting his role in distributing a bogus leaflet in the marginal Sydney seat of Lindsay.

Greg Chijoff has written to New South Wales Liberal Party state director Graham Jaeschke apologising for the flyer, which purported to be from an Islamic group and claimed Labor supported the Bali bombers.

Mr Chijoff said his wife did not know about the leaflet and was ``absolutely outraged'' when she heard about it.

"I can confirm that my wife Karen nor you were aware of this offensive pamphlet or were any way involved in the production and the distribution,'' Mr Chijoff wrote.

Earlier the husband of retiring Sydney Liberal MP Jackie Kelly had also admitted making and distributing the bogus campaign leaflets, and said sorry to the party and to Muslims.

Gary Clark, in a letter to Mr Jaeschke, said neither his wife nor the Liberal candidate for her western Sydney seat of Lindsay had any advance knowledge of "this matter".

Mr Clark and other Liberal Party supporters were caught by Labor officials letter-boxing the leaflet in St Marys, in the Lindsay electorate, on Tuesday night.

Mr Clark asked the Liberal Party to accept his "sincere apology ... for the damage done by my actions in preparing and distributing a pamphlet in St Mary's on Tuesday night," his letter says....
