John Howard: How can I forget you?.




Picture of John Howard flanked by Liberal supporters proudly wearing "Craig Thomas" T-shirts, blindly supporting the Tory candidate in the seat of Griffith. The only problem was that John Howard kept on calling him "Scott Thomas".








Three strikes and you're out.

Well, a lot of people will be hoping that this happens to John Howard in the next few weeks.

As he closes in on becoming a septuagenarian, in the space of three days John Howard has forgotten:

1. Australia's official interest rate;

2. The name of the Liberal Party candidate in the Brisbane metropolitan seat of Griffith, despite the fact that the candidate was right in front of him with his name emblazoned on his shirt.

What will be next?

More stumbles and fumbles, as John Howard lurches from one side of his disjointed campaign to the other.

And the chances of John Howard making another blooper in the next 5 weeks?

At this stage of his bumbling ineptitude, odds of 100 to 1 on would be a safe bet.
