My Howard Space
The big splash about Australian politicians now being approachable on myspace got us curious and so naturally we signed up to have a peek. SeditiousSid went about inviting MP’s and candidates from the Greens, Liberals, Labor and Democrats to be his friend.
SeditiousSid received friendship approvals from Andrew Bartlett (Democrats), Kerry Nettle (Greens) and Greg Combet (Labor candidate). Disappointingly, Sid has patiently awaited reply from Bob Brown and Peter Garret for one week. Not disappointing but expected, no Liberal Party friendships have blossomed despite the Liberals being the most approached party in the number of requests Sid sent.
The biggest surprise was Kevin Rudd approving Sid’s friendship within minutes of request late one night. The last time we checked, Kevin had collected 7000 myspace friends in around a week. Hope he is employing a bot and not staff to send everyone’s reply.
The myspace Howard Government as it is called, how inviting is that, in the same time period have a massed 9 friends. One of those is the myspace default friend Tom so actually they have 8 friends. One of those is the How to Vote information guide so actually they have 7 friends. Two of those are federal ministers, they are there own friend, so really the Howard Government has 5 friends. Who are these five desperado's? All are State Liberal MP’s and candidates of course.
We do however take heart that there are some real people with something real to say. Check out this terrific enterprise, everyone needs a good cumrag.

Update 25/7/07
SeditiousSid has 3 new friends who deserve applause - Bob Brown, Wayne Swan and Julia Gillard. Applause because Sid can be quite an objectionable character but they have accepted him regardless, probably despite their better judgment.
It would appear that Sid’s friendship request has been rejected by Joe Hockey, Steve Ciobo and Malcolm Turnbull. While devastated with this realization, Sid prays for the day he is approved for friendship by Dr Dennis Jensen and the Liberal Party, formerly the Howard Government, who are yet to approve or deny his request.
A comment left on this post informs us that the Liberal Party have been actively requesting friendships. This is hilarious, we thought that the reason they remain friendless, with anyone that is not actually in the Liberal Party, was because they didn’t feel a need to have friends. Maybe they should not be choosy when deliberating the request from Sid.

Update 26/7/07
Shortly after the last update, Sid fell of his chair when it was noticed Dr Dennis Jensen had joined his friend list. Ok now we are scared. Is Sid's first Liberal Party friend so tolerant and compassionate he can not deny anyone? Does he have a sinister motive? Is he genuinely in need of a friend? Maybe its just a lapse in attention like when the Liberal Party accepted a political donation from the Man Boy Love Association posted in from the chaser team.

Don't be too disheartened SS - Howy still might accept your friendship - ... he tried to befriend the Hilltop Hoods you know. They were, of course, suitably disgusted. It's all a bit tragic really. We're expecting him to start wearing a cap backwards any day now. Sad, sad little man.
