HOWARD "NOT A TANK" SHOCK

Former Clinton strategist Dick Morris kisses-up bigtime to new ALP leader Mark Latham:

He has an encyclopaedic knowledge of history and of politics. He's brilliant and I really feel that he just has a wonderfully penetrating, inventive mind and I was thrilled that he now is going to be the leader of the Australian Labor Party.

Whoa! Quit drooling, Dick. Next, Morris observes that Australia’s Prime Minister lacks the mobility of an armoured military device:

Howard isn't a tank. He doesn't know how to swivel his turret and attack other areas and I think that Latham will confuse Howard in a way that Clinton confused the Republicans and Blair confused Major, and ultimately makes it possible for him to win because he's not the enemy they're prepared to face.

Morris has been known to occasionally get things wrong.

Didn't Clinton and Blair beat the aftermath.
Those who took over when the real leaders finally stood down, If Howard stands down and Abbott/Costello take over then there may be a chance for Labour.

I alwas saw Howard as more of an amphibious landing vehicle, not one of those hovercraft ones though.

Dick Morris also on the eve of the 2000 presidential election: "The Electoral College doesn't matter."
