| Bikini line nets support for John Howard |
| 2004-07-22 |
| ONE of America's more unusual political commentators is running a red hot "Re-elect Prime Minister John Howard" campaign via the internet from Kansas. Gabrielle Reilly, a raven-haired 35-year-old bikini model who hails from Alice Springs, claims to have scored more than 1.3 million hits on her conservative political website last month and was seriously quoted in Darwin's Sunday Territorian as a "US-based political columnist". Reilly's website features as many pictures of her in bikinis as it does political messages -- which should attract voters who find the headshots of local pundits such as The Australian's Paul Kelly and The Sydney Morning Herald's Alan Ramsey less than sexy. Intrigued by her sudden appearance, Diary contacted Reilly and quizzed her about her politics. "I am campaigning for John Howard because I consider him to be fundamental in the global war on terror," she said. "I personally have nothing against Mark Latham, in fact he seems like a nice bloke. But I believe the strategies Mark Latham is platforming contribute directly to allowing terrorism to proliferate around the world." |
