Item description from seller

Paperback. Self-proclaimed international treasure Gough Whitlam never shied away from a pun, a put-down or a witticism.His wife Margaret was his 'best appointment', he called Malcolm Fraser 'Kerr's cur' after the Dismissal and when Sir Winton Turnbull called out in parliament 'I am a country member', Gough interjected 'I remember'.When it was suggested he was funny, Gough responded- 'Funny! Funny? Witty, yes. Epigrammatic perhaps, but not funny. You make me sound like a clown.'James Carleton, Radio National presenter and founder of the university club 'The Dewy-Eyed Whitlamites', presents a keepsake of Goughisms that vindicates the Great Man's self-assessment, 'I never said I was immortal, merely eternal.' When it was suggested he was funny, Gough Whitlam responded: "Funny! Funny? Witty, yes. Epigrammatic perhaps, but not funny. You make me sound like a clown." James Carleton presents a keepsake of Goughisms that vindicates the Great Man's self-assessment, "I never said I was immortal, merely eternal." This item is printed on demand.
