    Dubya clearly relished Janette Howard's offer to vigourously burnish 'Little' Johnnie's lucky gonads, known locally as 'The Blessed Nutsack'.


    Much hilarity ensued.

    Call him what you want but loyalty to his friends and team members is something that defines George W. Bush - for better or for worse. I'm no fan of the man but I admire the fact that he's not the type to conveniently throw someone under the bus when that person has outlived his usefulness.

    Here, as a public service, is the original photo. Lucky for you kids it was on page one of the google image search. If I had to click to page two, it wasn't happening.

    @spikenard:


    Ah, the Harold Holt swimming pool in High Street. Not far from the Avocado family home. Fond memories, and happy days. And concrete breeze blocks. Lots of them. I still guffaw to myself every time I drive past and see the name. What, in the name of all that is holy, would entice generations of kiddies to learn to swim at a swimming centre named after a Prime Minister who drowned in the surf at Portsea back-beach?


    Only in Australia, indeed.

    @DevilsAvocado: We must have lived quite near to each other! I remember the cool blue glass as you walked down the steps from the changing room to the pool. And how the outside pool was always freezing. And how I'd go swimming and then eat a million packets of chips from the vending machine after.

    This photo is even stranger. It's like Dubya is about to giver th'ol Merkel squeeze, but in a more down home southern way.

    Bush should have invited the Chasers War on Everything crew and expose his whole presidency as an elaborate hidden camera prank by an Australian tv show.


    Speaking of, who else is so excited that G4 is bring the Chasers War on Everything to the US at long last?!?!

    But of course he had to screw that up in some small way, because that's how he operates.


    With all respect, this is not true. W screws things up in a grand manner.

    So is this Blair House place just a studio apartment or does the Aussie asshole just refuse to share a mansion with Black folks?

    Way too confusing for me.


    1) "Major-League asshole" had me thinking baseball.


    2) The current photo is of two douchey looking teeny-boppers from a show no one cares about.


    3) I heard there were aborigines at one point?


    Okay, here's the actual Prime Minister dude.



    and apparently what they think of him:

    Alex, can you put a reduced version of the original photo at the bottom of the post or something? The comments are very confusing now.

    Maybe you should spend a little more effort before delving into politics. Was your Wonkette application rejected ? He faced and won the electorate every three years successfully until fatigue set in.


    This was no lame duck.
