Georgie boy (look daddy, I’m president) even had the audacity (“balls” obviously being niether appropriate nor applicable) to exclaim “I love free speech” during his his whirlwind 21-hour promo tour down here.

He loves free speech sooo dang much that the only media allowed to attend his press conference were hand-picked by him (well, someone around him anyway)with NO local media allowed.

Yes yes, that great ammendment for which 500 American boys have already lost their lives, not to mention the countless Iraqi ‘collareral damage’ and endless human suffering and misery (oh, and is Afghanistan still the smoking crater you left behind?)… All hail O Great Naked Emperor! We thank you for embodying, and fighting to uphold, our freedom of speech, the cornerstone of our ‘Great Western Democracy’! Having the leader of the Greens booted out for of your parliamentary address for speaking out against your ‘rogue regime’, and having all protesters kept 200 metres away from Parliament House during your, ahem, ‘speech’ really shows just what a beacon of freedom and democracy your government is. Thank you Mr. President sir.

Now, with your permission and blessing sir, there are crocodiles to be wrestled and shrimps to be thrown on the barbie, after which, if you will allow me sir, I will ride my pet kangaroo into the Simpson Desert and bury my head in the sand, with my arse sticking up… just like a good lil Aussie ally.

p.s. Thanks for the kind words karmacoupe. Seeing as your destinies are aslo our destinies, we’re coutning on you guys in the 2004 elections. Don’t forget to scribble “Get thee to a speech therapist!” on your ballots.
