The Cuckoo's Nest

So where the bloody hell is Kerry Nettle?

Readers will remember that, when George W. Bush visited the Australian Parliament in October 2003, our own Man of Steel, John Howard, had to join the scrum that physically prevented Greens Senators Bob Brown and Kerry Nettle from harrassing the President. Apparently, when Tony Blair addressed the Parliament yesterday, Bob Brown was among those queuing up to meet and greet him. Surely Tony's hands are as deeply incarnadined with innocent Iraqi blood as the Texan warmonger's? And where was Kerry Nettle? Busy printing t-shirts, perhaps.

When I went looking for an online photo of the 2003 incident mentioned above, I failed to find one, but found instead this priceless image, now safely deposited for posterity as a screenshot in the Cuckoo Swiss bank deposit box. Apparently the Calcutta Telegraph thinks Bob Brown really is, er, brown, and that must be Kerry Nettle in the chador next to him, which is only to be expected, if the Greens ever get their hands on Foreign Policy.
