The Howard Legacy like leprosy

Following the election, a friend said to me “You must be happy now that Rudd is our new PM”. My reply “No, happy not”. “But on the other hand, had Howard not been annihilated, I would be feeling most suicidal”.

Kevin not quite 007 has been captured and reported saying such things as “Howard is the best Prime Minister Australia has ever had”, “I would like to acknowledge Mr Howard for his extensive contribution to public service” and “The Howard’s deserve to be treated with respect and dignity” I find these comments deeply offensive.

When I think of the terms I would use for describing Howard as a Prime Minister, meanest, nastiest, most deceptive, most dishonest, most indifferent and out of touch, etc... etc... come to mind. “Best” is no where on the list. The best Prime Minister we have had? He's a fucking cock sucker, no offense to cock suckers. He deserves the same respect and dignity which he afforded to asylum seekers; lock him in a cage, in the middle of a desert until we can find some place to deport him to.

And what’s this business about Rudd giving Howard all the time he needs to move out of The Lodge? As we well know, Howard didn’t go near The Lodge for 11.5 years, choosing instead to squander countless millions of tax payer dollars on his Kirribilli palace. Then all of a sudden after losing the election, he’s in The Lodge throwing farewell parties and needing time to move out.

There were a few days post election where Malcolm Turnbull was trying to project the Liberal Party turning progressive, having finally rid itself of that foul little baboon ex leader. It was therefore comforting to see Brendan Nelson save the day by winning leadership and delivering us a Liberal Party that we all know and love. Nelson says he does not support saying sorry to indigenous Australians, and while the party still has power in the senate, they will try to block a reintroduction of workplace unfair dismissal laws.
