A couple of days ago our Prime Minister received the Order of the Brown Nose (surely, public service award - ed.) from the Woodrow Wilson International Centre for Scholars. Nothwithstanding our PM's outstanding achievements in the cause of American foreign policy, the fact that previous winners include Dick Cheney should be sufficient warning to future nominees. I'm not sure which Woodrow Wilson is alluded to in the organisation's title, but it surely could not be the same Woodrow Wilson who was an American President and, er, a Democrat. This Wilson of the same name was a fervent internationalist and a leading proponent of the League of Nations.
The current US President, George Bush sent his congratulations via video.
"John Howard is a great personal friend of mine and a supporter of the American Way er, sorry, the freedom of all peoples, and I ask him to report to my office at 9.30 tomorrow morning for further instructions, um, I mean, a cup of tea." (Video goes hazy, then blank)
Nice to know we have powerful friends.........
