Apparently, Bush is having some trouble keeping hecklers at bay in Australia. When asked about it, his spinmeister McClellan had this to say:

``That's the Australian Parliament for you.''

This follows the skeptical reception he received from Islamic leaders in Indonesia, and the Chinese and Japanese telling him "no thanks" when he suggested currency corrections that would benefit the US rather than the Asian economies...

And then there is that Korean nuke thing. Doesn't seem like the leader of the free world has been able to buy himself much international goodwill abroad, does it? I wonder, was this trip scheduled to show that Bush and his policies have the widespread international support he doesn't have in Europe and the UN?
