man of wood

Watching the Douglas Wood "His Story" special on Channel Ten last night--specifically, watching him speak in hushed tones of President Bush and Prime Minister Howard, and insist on continuing to support the war in Iraq--I couldn't help thinking how the Right must've been gloating. I mean from the family reunion scenes it'd appear he's obviously a dyed-in-the-wool Liberal voter, so it's not a big surprise. But yeah, John Howard must've been kissing the television set for all the free plugs he was getting.
