What better way to acknowledge Mr Howard's unique record than for the federal and state governments to agree to rename the opposition caucus rooms in all of their parliaments "The John Howard Room."

If you thought John Howard finally got the message that it’s time he retired from politics, think again. It seems the ex-Prime Minister will soon be launching a new career in the United States as a hubristic has-been.

Howard has been endowed with the Irving Kristol award for his “contributions to improved government policy, social welfare, or political understanding.”

The annual award is presented by the American Enterprise Institute, a Neoconservative think tank and outlet for the kind of elitist self-congratulation Howard so claimed to loathe.

Um, they chose to give the medal to him? That hardly qualifies as ’self-congratulation’.
