Oh, sit on it Howard

So apparently, the ALP thinks that John Howard is just like the Fonz.

It’s certainly clear that the Howard Government has jumped the shark.

My friend “Anonymous” and I decided to test that theory*

Here are some possible characteristics, other than being unable to admit they are wrong, that the Fonz and our dear leader might share….

Is it possible that John Howard…..

1. Holds all his most important meetings in the mens’ toilets (well, he's no fan of Affirmative Action)

2. Has it off with every woman he meets (ew. Let’s not)
3. Surrounds himself with timid yes-men
4. Has an annoying and short cousin who thinks he is a lot funnier and sexier than he is and will go on to have a less successful spin-off project (paging Tony Abbott – please don’t wear those shorts in public)
5. Calls his landlord Mr C (actually, that’s what people call him, but never to his face)
6. Greases back his hair
7. Is more proficient with his thumbs than his brain
8. Rides around on a big machine to make up for his small dick/short man syndrome
9. Can't ever utter the word "sorry"

I'm worried about pop culture allusions though. If Howard is the Fonz (who we all seem to agree is or was reasonably cool despite his obvious gender politics deficiencies and low level violent tendencies) who is Rudd?

OMG he's Richie Cunningham, isn't he?

Right, that's it. I'm stopping right there, before the whole Happy Days crew is matched with Federal MPs and I have to go an have a good lie down.
