The President of the Most Powerful Nation the World Has Ever Known has sent (by videotape) a farewell message to our late Prime Minister:
“You’re a digger who is simple, direct and tough. And you have never let this cobber down,” he said.
Is there anybody anywhere in either of our two nations who would not cringe with embarrassment at reading such juvenile crap? Apart from those at the Liberal Party function I mean, who I expect were giddy with excitement that Mr Bush would condescend to learn a bit of the local lingo.
And I suspect a lot of actual diggers are less than impressed.
