"Gangster" Senators like Lindsey Graham, George Voinovich and especially Arlen Specter's politics are based not on some internally formed ideal but driven rather by what everyone else tells them. These "gangsters" are governed by POP culture's premise of the facts rather than the facts themselves.

Graham is "concerned" about the "Memo" that Haynes is alleged to have "lied" about in judiciary hearings...according to the mainstream press and our political enemies. But did Graham review the testimony? The same goes for Voinovich's acceptance of POP culture's premise regarding the temperament UN Ambassador John Bolton. Many remember the tortured logic as to why Voinovich listened to Democrats rather than review Bolton's own words and the many witnesses brought to the committee.

And finally Arlen Specter, so similar to John McCain, he is another Clintonian prototype. "What sounds good today," will get him through tomorrow when all of POP culture has forgotten all he said yesterday because of his "moral" stance on "reproductive rights." Specter too is guilty of breathing life back into Democrats on many occasions just to satisfy some self-serving sense of "fair-play." Yeah Arlen, when you're down and out, you know that Kennedy, Schumer, and Leahy will be there extending an open hand to give you that second chance too...Arlen? Arlen...Are you there...?

In regards to Robert T. McLean's article about the likely transition of PM Howard to Peter Costello, it should be noted that while two-party preferred opinion polls has Howard's conservative Liberal/National coalition behind, the Howard government is in a very strong position. Incumbency is a particular strength of any government going to an election in Australia. Domestic politics may indeed play a leading role in the 2007 election, but Americans should understand that the likely two combatants, Howard (Liberal Party) and Beazley (Labor Party), are both unwavering supporters of the USA and the US/Australia alliance.
