The Rugby World Cup

I found this posted by Bob Harris the 'stand in' on Tom Tomorrow's, This Modern World Blog.

"At the opening ceremonies a few weeks ago, Aussie Prime Minister John Howard, recently censured for lying about Iraq, stepped out to declare the games officially open -- and the entire stadium of cheering fans suddenly unleashed a cathartic chorus of boos. Howard looked humiliated, and didn't even speak for about ten solid seconds. Dishonesty actually being treated as dishonorable -- a national leader actually being held accountable, face-to-face, by the public -- oh man, that was something to see."

But it didn't make any of the newspapers or the radio or the TV, did it? Or did it really happen if it wasn't on TV merely blogged?
