Did anybody see Tony Abbott (Howard's most loyal politicial 'altar boy') trashing 'the worm' on tonight's news because it did not respond properly to the intellectual content of...
... 'His Master's Voice'.
Do I have news for 'Tony The Abbott'!
There is far more to human communication than desiccated intellectual content.
People of all political, social and religious persuasions respond to 'tone of voice' as well as intellectual content, body odour, facial expression and body 'language'.
John Howard suffers from what is known in psychiatric circles that specialise in personality disorders as...
... 'Short Man's Syndrome'.
He tends to compensate for being short with a loud, irritating and demanding voice.
He spoke to camera (the TV audience) as if he was lecturing the complete fools who sit opposite him in Parliament.
B-I-G mistake and the worm responded in exactly the same way as my Beagle does when I lose my termper and yell at him for being naughty.
Howard: "Anybody who votes Labor will regret it - and we have ways to ensure that you will regret it!"
Response: The worm cowers in terror.
Rudd: "My proposal for education is that Labor will blah, blah, blah."
Response: The worm wags its tail.
Last night, nbody gave a rat's backside fo the intellectual content of Rudd's warm and friendly address and composure.
It was his warm composure (when compared to Howard's demanding to be obeyed tone) that had the worm eating out of the palm of Rudd's gentleman's hand.
If the worm could speak this is what he was saying last night to John Howard on befalf of many ordinary Aussies:
"We don't care how much you know until we know how how much you care."
And judging by Howard's atrocious attitude towards shoving unwanted and homeless kids into electrified Ruddock cages, he doesn't give a rat's about human rights!
It's reverence for Howard's inhumane policies that concerns Howard.
