Just another reason to love Billy

Monday night on Enough Rope with Andrew Denton, Billy Connelly had this to say about our PM:

"John Howard's only function is to let you know what Harry Potter's going to look like when he's old. I would go miles to avoid meeting him. What a boring little man."

Mind you, I think Harry Potter has some charisma...

Thanks for the pic of him Blue, since I'm not too familiar with him. I can only shake my head and say, aw come on, don't insult Harry like that. :-)

I saw it too, blue. It was a delicious moment on National TV said by a man many Asutralians love. Don't know how Andrew didn't add something to it in his inimitable way. It is always nice to hear people say what you are thinking isn't it?

Okay, I am not even familiar with these people, but what a fantastic insult! *LOL* Too funny. I love people that speak their minds...

CP - having read your blog I feel confident you would enjoy Billy Connelly - he is a scottish comedian. If you can, rent a dvd of his.

I have to say the funniest thing I have ever seen is Billy & Robin Williams going head to head - diff comedy - but both very fast & funny!

Let me know what you think.
