I really cannot think of a better way to describe the Australian Prime Minister, right now. A few days ago was watching Lateline and was enjoying the traditional game of "Watch the Media Slam the PM" when John Howard spews forth a lie so huge it could eclypse the sun.

You see, former Liberal Party Prime Minister Malcolm Fraiser acused Howard -and rightly so- of "bastardizing the Liberal Party..." & "Making it un-recognisable as the Liberal Party founded by Robert Menzies".

To which Howard responded with "I consider the modern Liberal Party in keeping with Modern Liberalism, which is quite conservative. Menzies was anti-communist afterall"

WHAT THE FUCK? Liberalism is quite Conservative?

Sure that makes sense. You know what? Hot is quite cold to!

I nominate this for the George W Bush Bullshit of the Year Award

Well, there is actually an absolute zero point in temperature, and everything above that contains at least some heat, so - Cold can also be quite hot.

I just felt like pointing that out.

The Liberal Party has never had anything to do with liberalism as long as I was here.

From gay rights to wars overseas, it was the typical conservative party: Yay for the free market of money, boo for the free market of lifestyles.

But I didn't exactly expect Howard to understand any of that anyways.

I'm surprised that Howard hasn't changed the name. This government we have now is anything but liberal.

Ah, that's right, anyone opposing Howard is a filthy commie.

Such is the Way, the Truth, and the Light of politicians.
