Wha? Howard's whole schtick was "I'm a true blue fair dinkum Aussie bloke", what with his tracksuits, his fondness for cricket (and any other sporting event of the moment) and whole war on the intellectualist elite. I'm more and more convinced you just analyse things as you wish they were rather than as they are.
Gillard is wittier than Costello. Costello was the highlight of the Howard years, no question, but Gillard's wit is greater and far more cutting.
Nah, Amanda Vandstone and whats her face ... the other fat one ... shit, can't think of her name, also a Liberal..........eeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeehhhhh. Well anyway, my point is that they're both wittier and more charismatic than Gillard and they're both beached whales.

It suprises me how many people still claim this. Wearing a tracksuit and watching cricket (which is a gentlemans sport btw) doesn't mean he was trying to emulate the average Aussie. I don't get what you mean by 'I'm more and more convinced you just analyse things as you wish".
a. This is what most people do.
b. I just said Howard was an elitist fuck, what more do you want? Atleast with Howard, if as you claim he "pretended" to give a shit about the average Aussie, you could always see through it. Rudd has that charming boy next door fag look on his face, one that says 'oh hey, my mum was single and i know wot itz like to be poor lol', and it nearly has you convinced. But not me, I'm sure that fucker has a dungeon where he tortures kangaroos.
