I see that Latham resigned. That’s a shame. It would’ve been fairly symbolic, war-wise (even though he opposes Iraq), to eventually have our nation spearheaded by a man who gives off the impression of closing his eyes, counting to five, breathing deeply and silently mouthing mantras from his anger management classes before he can make any sort of announcement to the media. (Why didn’t he get tanked and break the arms of some Liberal heavies when he lost the election? He should’ve known he had nothing to lose, the little Aussie bleeder).
So, what next for Latham? I suggest advertorials, personally. Or a recurring, “hilariously” violent guest character in a sketch comedy (has anyone let Channel 7′s programming knob jockeys know that they forgot to add a ghastly sketch comedy to their line-up this year? Or am I completely misunderstanding the concept of Sunrise?)
In fact, yes. Sunrise could hire him – he’d go hand-in-hand with their already established stable of Laurie Oakes-league political commentators. You know, like Mikey Robins, and that screechy chick who used to appear on Beauty and the Beast and seems to still be checking over her shoulder for Stan Zemanek every five minutes.
