JERKING, CIRCULAR

Resident Larvatus Prodeo comic Phil Gomes had such success with the the-Prime Minister-is-a-rodent theme, he's reprised it. Gomes is all a-lather about the coming publication of The Howard Factor:

Brad Norington in today's Australian gives us the heads up on the News Limited circle jerk that's coming our way on Monday.

LP commenters then launch a preemptive "we hate Howard because... well, because we hate Howard" circle jerk of their own. Now there's something refreshingly different.

Update: LP blog-daddy Mark Bahnisch does some "what if?" humour:

He’s a good politician, but there are others, and he’s quite capable of stuffups, and not unbeatable (if we had a decent opposition). How would he have been remembered if he’d been the first one term PM in 90 years if a few votes had fallen differently in a few seats in 98 when he lost the 2PP to Labor?
