John Howard has once again demonstrated to the rest of the world, that he is definitely not a man of the people. In parliament today, he was speaking of the tragic death of Steve Irwin. I wasn't able to catch all of what he was saying (kids were making noise) but I heard him refer to Irwin as the "Crocodile Man".
CROCODILE MAN? You've got to be kidding me. It really irks me when people like Howard (sorry Mikey_Capital, I think Beazley is just as bad) try to show how in touch they are with the everyday people of the population. All it takes for their shallow attempts to become unstuck, is for them to make a simple mistake in their grandstanding speeches.
To me, if you can't get the name of someone right, then they are obviously not all that important to you. How dare Howard stand up in parliament and espouse how great Steve Irwin was, and then not even bother to get his common name correct.

Crocodile Man!
LOL!
That's hilarious. I so didn't know that!
That's like calling "Superman" "Empowered Being".
"On behalf of Australia I'd like the thank the ... er ... Empowered Being from saving us from Lex Luthor..."
