Good riddance to John Howard

"Like most foreign elections, the humiliating defeat of Australia's Prime Minister, John Howard, was driven largely by their own domestic concerns, and it had little (though not nothing) to do with the U.S. Still, it is worth celebrating Howard's defeat in light of how pernicious a presence he was, as one of the very few remaining world leaders who loyally supported the worst and most war-loving aspects of the Bush/Cheney foreign policy."

Howard's reign in Australia is over

"Labor Party leader Kevin Rudd earned a sweeping victory in Australia's elections Saturday, ending an 11-year conservative era and promising major changes to policies on global warming and the Iraq war."

One by one the "coalition of the willing" is falling like dominoes as "another one bites the dust."

Exit polls point to Australian gov't defeat

"The Sky News poll also points to a humiliating defeat for Prime Minister John Howard in his own seat of Bennelong in Sydney."

Looks like another one is about to bite the dust!
