Good interview …. pretty much repeated on Insiders this morning but with more detail. AD came across as intelligent and balanced unlike the commentators above.

Thank you for the timely remind of exactly how - I can’t get past stupid - and facile this man is. Thank God he and his kind are gone - even the worst of the ruddlings is better than the pompous ass Downer and the sinister ghoul Ruddock

I see Alexander’s claiming to not offer a Presidential preference because ‘he’s not an American’…unlike the reprehensible position he took when accusing Australians of being ‘Un-American’ for not supporting the Iraq invasion.

No mention from Lexy about his illiustrious ex-leaders claim that,
"If I were running al Qaeda in Iraq, I would put a circle around March 2008, and pray, as many times as possible, for a victory not only for Obama, but also for the Democrats." (John Howard 11/2/07)

Counter that with Lexy's claim,
"So I think, look, yes, if you’re a betting person you’d clearly put your money on Obama... "

So now we're betting on a team who would bolster al Qaeda's moral in Iraq?
George Orwell would be most impressed
