Osborn isn&#8217;t taking things lying down, however, releasing an email in which Tory state campaign manager Susan Chandler allegedly made an unflattering reference to Tory candidate Adam Held: &#8220;The email referred to Mr Held as a <em>&#8220;greedy fucking Jew&#8221;<\/em> after he asked for more campaign material&#8221; (<a href=\"http:\/\/www.news.com.au\/story\/0,23599,23684354-2,00.html\">Disgust at Liberal&#8217;s anti-Semitic email<\/a>, news.com.au, May 12, 2008).<\/p>\n<p>Unfortunately for Susan, as a result of Osborn&#8217;s leak, she&#8217;ll be desperately seeking a new employer (hopefully not another greedy fucking Jew).
