It makes me wonder what sort of upbringing these so-called politicians had that makes them get their knickers in such a twist over such a small thing as a disciplined smack. I mean I used to get some right cracks across the back of my legs from my mum that hurt like hell when I was really bad, but I laugh about them now. Smacks like that left some great patterns on my legs.

I can only think that they a) didn't get smacked enough as a child, or b) they got smacked TOO much and it caused permanant brain damage.
