The laughs were based on plays on word, riffing on the last name of the Crimson’s standout tailback in a pale imitation of Abbott and Costello.

Every now and then during the campaign, Howard will wonder if the best thing he could have done for himself and the Liberal Party was to hand over the leadership to Treasurer Peter Costello last year.
