Bush Supporter John Howard Suffers "Humiliating" Defeat in Australia

SYDNEY, Australia - Conservative Prime Minister John Howard suffered a humiliating defeat Saturday at the hands of the left-leaning opposition, whose leader has promised to immediately sign the Kyoto Protocol on global warming and withdraw Australia's combat troops from Iraq.

Labor Party head Kevin Rudd's pledges on global warming and Iraq move Australia sharply away from policies that had made Howard one of President Bush's staunchest allies.

John Howard, the beligerent Bush supporting wanker Prime Minister of Australia along with his ruling conservative party took it in the shorts big time today in Australia, mate. Howard's greatest claim to fame was his undying support for Bush and his horribly failed policy in Iraqnam. It seemed that no matter what Bush supported, John Howard mimicked it down under. Now that undying support has come back to bite John on the arse.

While quaffing a pint of super excellent Victoria Bitter in a roadside bar in the mountains south of Brisbane in late October 2004, I asked two Aussies sitting with me why it was that Australia elected someone like John Howard. One of them said "Its just like with you stupid Yanks. You let a bunch of religious fanatics think they have power and you wound up with Bush. We did the same stupid thing in Australia."

Apparently Australia learned from their horrific mistake and they sent John and his conservative party deep into the Outback. Lets hope the United States has learned from its horrific mistake and it makes a huge course correction in just 49 more long weeks.
