I would like to be the first person to thank the american people for the hilarious entertainment for the last 3 years.
Only america could have an election that takes longer than the actual term of office and put people like
John (I'm even to old to go to an old age home) McCain and Barrack (I have a name that will at least catch the attention of the D#@mb s#%^ts) Obama Forward to lead their country....
And if that comedy wasnt funny enough they pull in the lovely Sarah at the end to add to the laughs...
Its not your financial acuman that makes you the laughing stock of the world its your political system.
I guess however that even your greatest theatrical performer Ronald MacDonald would be better than BUSH!!!!!!!!!

Really hard to understand how somebody from a country that chooses John Howard to lead their government can be quite so judgmental:
Good riddance to John Howard
You apparently aren't aware of how unquestioning Howard's support of Dubya was. He was a Bush lapdog, much like Tony Blair:
$this->bbcode_second_pass_quote('', 'B')ut nothing captures the core corruption and dishonesty of John Howard -- and that of other blind supporters of the war in Iraq generally -- quite as vividly as a May, 2003 speech he delivered to the Australian parliament, in which Howard hailed the Greatness of George W. Bush and praised Bush's "Strength and Determination" for having led the "American-led coalition" to "Decisive Victory" in Iraq.
In doing so, Howard gloated about how wrong war opponents were, specifically condemning:
"...the way in which speaker after speaker [from the Labor Party] impugned [Bush's] integrity, assaulted his judgment, and called into question his ability to lead the U.S. in this very, very difficult conflict. History has proved them wrong."
Howard mocked the "infantile" objections of war opponents and "all of the[ir] doomsday predictions," which -- he boasted -- were "not realized." After all, Howard roared: "there were not millions of refugees" and "there was no long-drawn-out, bloody, Stalingrad-style, street-to-street fighting in Baghdad."
Of course, truly humiliating declarations of Victory like this -- combined with gloating decrees that war opponents were proven wrong because of how fast and cleanly we Won in Iraq without any of the problems the "naysayers" predicted -- are hardly rare in the U.S. either. Indeed, most of those who spewed such embarrassing tripe continue to do so today.
The ignominious defeat of John Howard had many causes having nothing to do with his disgraceful pronouncements on Iraq (though his triumphant opponent, Labor's Kevin Rudd, did pledge to begin withdrawing Australian troops from Iraq). Nonetheless, it is still satisfying to witness such a well-deserved ejection from power of one of the last political leaders slavishly loyal to the disastrous Bush/Cheney/neoconservative war agenda.

You may have missed it but Johnny (The eyebrow boy) Howard as we like to call him got chucked out on his arse... This was mainly due to the fact that Australians where sick of his kissing Bush's arse. (Bring back Coronation street I say)
This was even in face of the fact that he had repaid all Gov debt (Do you know what yours is). Ran a budget surplus (Do you know what that is?) had inflation low and was a really keen cricket follower (Bet you dont know what that is either)...
Good luck tonight because either way the result will still be a huge laugh to one and all.
