Video: Aussies wet themselves as new PM salutes Bush

Can’t blame this on the Australian left; even John Howard’s successor as head of the Liberal Party is in on the faux outrage. It’s Kevin Rudd, formerly head of the Labour Party opposition and known abroad mainly for eating his own earwax on camera, now prime minister and Friend of Dubya and known abroad mainly for saluting Bush on camera — jokingly, as you’ll see from his laughter. Exit question: Since when are Aussies paranoid about their standing vis-a-vis the U.S.? Good lord, boys, you’re acting like Canadians.
