3:23PM Jess McGuire | Peter Costello is apparently claiming in his forthcoming book that he would have won the 2007 election for the Coalition if he’d been allowed to take over leadership, but that evil old harpy Janette Howard refused to let it happen because she wanted to personally serve George W. Bush sandwiches at Kirribilli. Or something.
Mr Costello calls the former prime minister’s wife a “consensus of one” and claims she was more powerful than federal cabinet in the lead-up to last year’s election, the Nine Network reported.
Mr Costello says Mrs Howard did not want anyone else occupying Kirribilli House when US President George W Bush visited Australia for the APEC summit in Sydney last September, the report said.
Good god, Peter. You really are a pathetic individual, aren’t you? You had your chance and you wimped out, buddy. And now, like someone who lost an argument but then later regales friends with tales of the things you
would have said and done had you not run off crying like a big girl, you won’t stop jabbering on about how things might have been different.
You coulda had class. You coulda been a contender. You coulda been somebody, instead of a bum, which is what you are, let’s face it.
Anyway, it’s the quotes regarding Peter’s memoirs from politicians on both sides of the political fence which interest me and are rather telling.
