DEVIL-CALLERS CALLED
The Age reports:
In parliament on Tuesday, Treasurer Peter Costello produced a copy of an online invitation which calls on Venezuelan President Hugo Chavez to visit Australia.
Costello made this excellent point:
“I would have thought that the leader of the opposition, who is so concerned about the US alliance, wouldn’t have his own senators inviting to this country a man who called the US president a genocidal killer and who went to the UN General Assembly and called the President of the United States the devil,” Mr Costello said.
Meanwhile, Age cartoonist Ron Tandberg imagines that John Howard’s recent criticism of Barack Obama’s plan for troop withdrawal from Iraq is due primarily to Howard’s racism.
