HOWARD HAPPY
The former PM remains cheerful:
In an interview with the Herald, Mr Howard appeared surprisingly regret-free, and even buoyant.
Why wouldn’t he be? You know, apart from being interviewed by the Herald. Perhaps Howard is amusing himself these days by reading Phillip Adams:
John Howard, now reduced to the ghostly, ghastly company of Irving Kristol, Dick Cheney, Newt Gingrich, Lewis “Scooter” Libby, John Bolton and Paul Wolfowitz at a posthumous dinner at the American Enterprise Institute ...
Cheney didn’t attend, as was widely reported. Keep going, Phil:
Nothing is more evanescent than political power. When it goes, it really goes. Nicolae and Elena Ceausescus’ horrified realisation that the crowds below the balcony weren’t cheering but jeering; both of them shot against a wall within the hour.
No. Three days later. As Nicolae probably told you, in another of those interviews that never happened.
