6. Dunno
John Howard was a little shit anyhow, it's a shame it took the majority of the Australian public this amount of time to figure out what a little shit he's been.

Gosh this is exciting....maybe it'll be like when Canada smacked Kim Campbell and her crowd.

7. Supporting Bush tends to have that effect on one's career.
But, don't forget Poland! Will their leader be next?!?
