Howard LOVES The Ladies

Who'd have thought PM John Howard was a ladies man? He's wandered into the Parliament House strip show debacle and raised a few eyebrows in the process.
There's been a cry of sexism from female scientists at the Climate Change Thingy at Old Parliament House. A burlesque performer came into the room covered with baloons while audience members popped them with pins.
Apparently the PM doesn't think it's too serious an issue, and I agree. Why shouldn't we entertain scientists with adult entertainment, one of Canberra's finest exports? Those women who left all offended just don't get it, according to an industry insider.

Ummm... not intended to be a pun.

At least it wasn't as shocking as the last time US President Bush came to town. He and Howard rolled a fat one and listened to Grateful Dead records. That's what I love about Canberra. Corruption, profiteering, smut, and weed. And that's from the CONSERVATIVES!
