The other day Young Liberal identity, Tim Andrews, decided to illustrate the ‘Babe Theory of Politics’ by blogging pictures of some of his girl friends (since taken down) . It all seemed harmless fun to me but Pru Goward does not approve:

"I respect Pru as a senior member of our party and for her previous work as a Sex Discrimination Commissioner.

Talking about who's hot and who's not on a blog is one way 'Gen Y' talks, " Being over zealous about political correctness has put our generation on the outer, "This is an example of overreaction.

Political correctness can be so amusing.
