Australian Prime Minister John Howard must have been thinking what a great week it was going to be after flying in and out of Baghdad on the weekend , visiting the Aussie troops and getting a big media coverage.
Then the King of Australian radio John Laws accuses his main radio rival Alan Jones of influencing public service appointments.
And poor old John Howard cops more shrapnel wounds than Iraqi rocket propelled grenade would provide in the cross fire between the 2 radio giants.
This is the most worried Howard has looked during his 8 years as Prime Minister.
It looks like the man with the golden microphone "Laws" may have brang down the government , even though he was targeting his rival "Jones".
So after breathing a sigh of relief leaving Baghdad on Monday, now John Howard finds himself digging in to save his skin here on Thursday.
