CANBERRA, Australia (AP) -- Australia's prime minister came under fire at home Friday over a playful salute he gave President Bush at a NATO summit, which critics said seemed to suggest Australian subservience to Washington.
Oh come on. I don't think it is usually necessary to tell Australians to lighten up, but really. Look at this from Bush's perspective: He's used to having his ass kissed repeatedly and enthusiastically by an Aussie PM. A playful salute is a really big comedown. It's almost an insult!

And you know who started all this hoo-ha? That would be the opposition leader, formerly the Minister for Defence (Brendan Nelson). Rudd's trip seems to be going so well, they have to muddy the water some how.
Its so ironic, given the previous PM had his head so far up Bush's backside!!!!
