This morning it was Clive Palmer’s turn to embarrass himself on 2Day-FM’s Kyle & Jackie O show. Kyle challenged the Prime Ministerial hopeful to “twerk.”

For his part Kyle admitted that he shared some of Mr Palmer’s qualities: “We’re both big men,” he told his audience. Looking at the two of them across the desk from each other, you can see what he means.

Mr Palmer had no idea what twerking meant until Kyle obliged with a demonstration.

Then it was the mining magnate politician’s turn. He acquitted himself admirably, much to Kyle’s approval, leading him to declare, “You just got the young vote in one move.  I’m voting for you as well.”

Ain’t this a great country, where we judge our politicians on their ability to twerk?
