PM broken hearted

over the Socceroos' loss to Italy. So read the teletext on the ch 9 news this morning. Does this mean we get a new Prime Minister or is it another con? The way he carries on at sporting functions makes him look more like a jerk than when he goes for his silly early morning walks. Bob Hawke could look natural as an enthusiastic spectator but there is something about these blokes who bung it on. The PM is a master at bunging on enthusiasm but am I the only one who can see through him? He reminds me of the kid at school who, when all the real boys were out there playing footy and were being screamed at by the little 13 year old girls, would be the know it all of the action and the names of the players and who at the end of the game would be more devastated if the team lost than the real blokes who had played the game or more ecstatic if the team won. We had a hanger on once who was more a pest - he'd run the drinks out, rub denkarub, tell spectators to make way for the team and generally try to sound important. He'd hang around us at the bar afterwards bullshitting about the game each of us played. I didn't think his name was John Howard but I could be wrong.
