Looks like Dubbya can't look to Australia for poodles anymore. He was elected on the far from obscure platform of not being John Howard.

I heard it in the background. I'll just say that at the beginning I said, "This will be a classy speech," and he disappointed neither my girlfriend nor myself. It was of the best speeches I ever heard -- insightful, proud of Australian, and personally humble at the same time -- and shows why he was Prime Minister of Australia for four terms and 11½ years. I wish Kevin Rudd success in his new post. I hope to join them both as fellow countrymen before the end of the next term.
