Well fancy that ... six of the ten member countries of the ICC have rejected former Australian Prime Minister "Honest John" Howard in his bid to become a Vice President. Zimbabwe, who have the most reason of all to wish Howard the et u Brute treatment haven't had their say yet. Australia, England and New Zealand are supporting him and the Kiwis had to be talked into it!
Poor bugger is a bit stuck. After all, its only a small electorate and he's plumb out of kiddies to jump off balconies or reds under the dressing sheds ... oh, hang on, that was Ming ... well same difference.
Still, its not as though he's not used to rejection. First it was the Australian people, led admirably by his own elctorate, she of the rhyming surname showed him the raised umpires finger and now this. In between, he underwent a medical procedure for a colon transplant which also failed ... the arsehole rejected him.
John, looks like you'll just have to get used to the idea of watching something without running it.
A particular devotee of Howard, the very clever Pat Drummond, once sang a song called "What Goes Around, Comes Around" and I reckon it might be applicable here but I'll settle for sharing some "Lonesome Johnny Blues" with you.
Sometimes in life you get what you deserve, don't ya just love it??????
