Just a thought on John Howard's advancing years: Pinkos are desperate to make this an election issue and convince the electorate he's some kind of busted old fart. But their invocation of age is, like so many things with the left, very selective. Take their admiration for someone way older than Howard -- Gough Whitlam -- who's now pretty close to hitting a century.
If you ever said that ol' coot was past it the Howard haters would have your guts for garters.
