Latham and Howard emerge after a night on the town with a white worm

National security, strength of will, health and education of the masses. Topics and issues which reared their collective and finely grotesque heads and featured prominently in last night's Great Debate between stand under Prime Minister John Howard and the fist balling alternative, Mark Latham.

Showing the fine form seen at many buffets, the panel, moderated by two seater Laurie Oakes, failed to snap back and forth with witty repartee as the combatants drew their barbed tongues and sworded each other at length. Composure was markedly present as the interjection was kept to minimal lunges.

Jumping first into the comforting down of an emotional connection with the blasted, Latham expressed his sympathy toward the recent victims of the car bombing attack near the Australian embassy in Jakarta, Indonesia. Bombing which afforded the two leaders rest on their hectic campaign schedule. From the looks of the telecast, a rest that was poorly used.

Lacklustre and quivering as his lips are ever on, Howard stumbled his way through resulting in a weaker body in front of an audience not confined to a government school or public hospital. Latham was all out on the attack and held his ground well, seemingly a better shiner by the night's end.

The debate has been marked as moot as the general populace have already decided long ago who they'd prefer to cast their votes in favour of. Watching a white line on a screen made no difference. The coke always runs out.

On that note...
