To Howard's Deserts

Vox pops on the Howard/Rudd question seem to hover between the idea that Rudd as new boy deserves a go and Howard as the experienced leader deserves another go. What nobody is talking about is the political flogging Howard surely deserves as the fitting end to a legacy of disgrace. We seem to have forgotten the wheat scandal, the children overboard scandal, the Tampa scandal, the David Hicks scandal, and the ongoing scandals of detention centres, tolerated racism, environmental recalcitrance and our involvement in Iraq. I can't believe people are contemplating re-electing this moral black hole.
