Ps: If you were seriously wondering what John Howard is getting up to in his retirement, check out this article from Jen Mills in New Matilda. The right wing “anglosphere” won’t let the dream die! Or something.

    What a contrived piece of nonsense that Jen Mills article is.

    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’.

    I thought the little p***k had gone awy. Ah, well, my mother always told me dreams don’t come true.

    Actually, Ive been pleasantly surprised my the near-complete lack of interest in John Who?, post his thrashing.

    Ive scarcely thought of him since – and it seems to me much of the commentariat hasnt either.

    Agreed.

    If only Paul Keating had the grace to disappear when he got thrashed.

    Mr Howard’s contribution to Australian political life was quite remarkable.

    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.”

    Speaking of which, more odious Howard legacy disposed of, viz, the ridiculous US-bum-licking uranium deal with India:

    There’s an Irving Kristol award? The Decline of the West is obviously well advanced ;-)

    Actually folks – you’ll be sad to know that he’s still here – Kevin Rudd is actually John Howard in disguise. In fact, given his start as PM, I think Kevin Rudd is the real John Howard (at least the one I voted for in 1996). The king is dead – long live the king

    That’s not a cartoon. It’s a boring essay with doodles.
