    Equalled, perhaps, by former prime minister of Australia, from The Guardian, 13 August 2013:

    As Abbott stood among the Liberal party faithful in Melbourne, glancing from side to side and surveying those loyally assembled, he let rip with a malapropism to rival even those of the infamously tongue-tied former US president George W Bush. "No one," said Abbott, "however smart, however well-educated, however experienced … is the suppository of all wisdom."

    Sounds like Tony Abbott's been talking out of his arse again #suppository

    Abbott's gaffe was used as a joke in Kubrick's Full Metal Jacket: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=liusEeP1QcE
