http://www.theaustralian.news.com.au/common/story_page/0,5744,17064889%255E12272,00.htmlI found this article, sent by an Aussie friend, to be right on. I also am saddened we have to be affiliated with this asshat against our will.

AS you know, I always follow my mother's advice and avoid discussing religion or politics. Better to stick with my weekly recipes ("how to make nourishing muesli from grass clippings") and interior decoration ideas ("replace stodgy old wallpapers with your teenagers' graffiti"). Hence my reputation, and short jail sentence, as Australia's Martha Stewart.
However, on this one rare occasion, I feel entitled to say a few words about George W. Bush. "Told you so!!" And "Nyah nyah ne nyah nyah!!!!"
George Bush? The US would have been better off with the ukulele-strumming George Formby. Or Mad King George. Or George Wallace Jr who, on Inauguration Day, could have wowed the crowd with his schtick of dragging a boiled crayfish behind him on a piece of string. Or even Gorgeous George, the Liberace-style professional wrestler. Instead they elected the one George that raises one's gorge, the George that couldn't have done more damage had he been a KGB plant or the Manchurian candidate.
For years fellow columnists and the PM have been telling us the sun shines from his presidential posterior, that despite his imper-son-ation of Forrest Gump imitating Jerry Lewis doing a parody of John Wayne, George was a political genius. While I've been suggesting that the bloke is, at best, a failed experiment in genetic engineering or a malfunctioning audio-animatronic robot that escaped from Disney World in his brother's state of Florida. And my reward for these helpful warnings? Accusations of political bias.
So here's a brief listing of the president's greatest hits, proof positive that America's George II is even madder than England's George III.
