MAD HATTER CATCHES MYXOMATOSIS

Further proof that the ABC was right to change the name of The Howard Years TV series to The Alzheimer Years was provided in the final part of the show. John Howard stunned the nation when he made the amazing statement that he did not have a hat from which to pull an election winning rabbit.

Everybody knows that Little Johnny has a vast collection of Akubras and deputy sheriff 10 gallon cowboy hats . Media files contain many photos of Mr Howard in dorky sombreros , fedoras and weird APEC chapeaux .

As he stumbled about the countryside, like Brer Rabbit in a briar patch ,an Akubra hat awkwardly jammed down on his head, voters set rabbit traps and poisoned carrots for him. He was frequently seen using a hat to beat back the blowflies that followed him and the attendant media pack as he squelched along in the cowpats , waving at grumpy bushies.

How the former PM could say he did not have a hat from which to pluck a bunny is another indication of the Alzheimer syndrome rampant in the Coalition burrows . Incidently, did you hear about the gambling rabbit ?... He did his doe.
