Howard Comes To Earth With A Bump - And A Sore Head.
Politicians are brave enough when it comes to ordering troops into life-threatening situations, but of course they seldom have to face anything more dangerous than a ballot box full of votes for their opposition parties
Australian Prime Minister John Howard, however, paying a wee visit to Baghdad the other day, was unfortunate enough to find himself aboard a Hercules aircraft which started to fill with smoke, which prompted a rather hasty emergency landing.
Howard, exiting the aircraft as fast as his flak jacket and Gucci shoes would allow, ran across the tarmac away from the plane, looking extremely unhappy, and was reported as shaken but not hurt.
Apparently, though, he did suffer from a headache caused by the steep descent to safety, poor dear.
