Howard to receive US freedom medal
Samantha Maiden, Online Political Editor | 10:30am JOHN Howard will be awarded the US Presidential Medal of Freedom next week, in one of George W Bush’s final acts as president.

Just how out of touch are these guys? Can’t someone quietly tap them on the shoulder and say, “Hey fellas, it’s all over, you can leave now”? It is astonishing that they keep pretending that the disastrous war that they sent our countries into was not one of the most appalling foreign policy disasters for a generation.
So again WEE will be subjected to another round of back slapping and self-congratulation by Bush, Blair and Howard. They will repeat the lie that the world is safer because of their actions and the mainstream media will again cast no critical eye on their actions – they’ll just quote the press releases that trumpet the great achievements of these diminuitive leaders.
WEE think the ceremony would be the perfect opportunity to round up the ‘three amigos’ and send them to the International Criminal Court to be tried for their war crimes. WEE’ll keep dreaming on that one.
WEE do not look forward to watching another orgy of ineptitude when these three unimaginitave leaders get together to celebrate their contribution to freedom in the world. What all of this demonstrates is just how out of touch George Bush is. Some 80% of the US population wants him to just go away. Perhaps he could just stay on vacation until 20 January?
Still, we may well get our wish that we never hear of George W Bush again after 20 January. Apparently he is not planning to be a high profile former president. He was barely a high profile serving president given the amount of time he spent on vacation.
And WEE will not forgive him for giving further oxygen to our own former little leader John Howard. At least Howard still hasn’t cottoned on to the fact that being associated with George W Bush is actually not anything to write home about. Little Johnny is so out of touch too that he still thinks Bush is a man of substance and power – as opposed to the lame duck president he has been for about the last 3 years.
