Excellent choice for Leader of the Opposition (assuming, of course, they want to remain in opposition)

Well, that was the bleeding obvious choice wasn't it? Pick the bloke with no ideas who stuffed Education and then Defence. Bah!

If you check the SMH, Miranda Devine's all behind Nelson. I think that tells us all we need to know. :)

Is she wearing a strap-on?

I admire her practicality. I fully expected a month or two of articles about how Howard hasn't actually gone, regardless of what the bleeding hearts and luvvies think.

Don't be fooled. Devine is as hard-headed and hearted as t hey come. If Howard had been dumped for Costello, you would have had one column aboutthe greatest of our dear ex-Leader, and then she would have been crawling up Costello's fundament.
