I'm not a citizen of Australia, they didn't win a majority they won a plurality, and regardless I don't feel any compunction when describing Abbott as a mouth breather.
As I explained clearly in my comment, I have never experienced anything like the paucity of talent in Australian politics. I'm capable of disagreeing with the government of the day while respecting the intelligence or talent at play.
I'm perfectly comfortable with my description of Abbott and I stand by it.
Seems a bit odd to use it as an insult though, as quite a few people (myself included) are more or less 'mouth breathers' because of medical conditions.
We all breath through our mouths. I could have described him as having 'slopey shoulders', I doubt the progenitor of that insult intended people with back problems to take insult, though I guess some may take it too literally.
