Giving the game away

With a link to the press conference in question, here's a sharp-eyed response from crikey.com.au today:

'Look at [the Prime Minister's] response to a question on Julian McGauran's future: “that pre-selection won't come up for another four or five years, ask me then.”'

Four or five years?

Ask him then?

One would not wish death on anybody, but I certainly agree that nothing else is likely to shift him.

oh dear, that was stupid.

On the contrary, it gave me a very clear picture indeed, as well as making me me think of Fargo, for which I'm grateful as I sit here knowing it'll be 40 degrees again tomorrow.

Australian history as woodchipped frozen stew, eh? There's another thesis in that. (Just what you need!)

(For the confused, the above three comments actually go with the post after this one, the one with the pinko/girlie map. They just look at first glance like all part of the same rave. It's not every day that I have two consecutive posts about John Howard!)

I can't believe how he's hanging on. Where's that silver bullet when you need it?

I bet Costello is wondering the same thing.
