The Latham Diaries get really ridiculous when touching on the in-and- out stuff which is understandably rife in boring Canberra.
Lacker actually is quite funny when referring to rumours of himself and — fewgawdzakes, John Howard — getting a little extra-curricular nooky:
“Anyway, imagine Howard throwing his leg over someone – it’s unbelievable. The Canberra rumour mill is insane. For years Howard has had to put up with rumours about Pru Goward, just like I’ve copped them about her daughter, Penny Fischer. Is that what they mean by generational change?”
This one snuck up on me in the Oz this morning, resulting in the expectoration of tea and toast across the kitchen:
Mark Latham refers to an alleged affair between Johnny and Pru. Surely that would be Missionary Impossible.
