I remember reading about the outrage in Australia that Americans should be upset by that blackface skit on Hey Hey...it's all in good fun right?? Now the shoe is on the other foot and I see the Aussies are all up in arms about it.

It's nonsense that Australians can't lose or be critical of themselves. Politicians often go on the defensive.
