Howard struts his stuff (1 Viewer)

Well, in all seriousness, Howard isn't exactly one to be overly pompous, but eh.


Howard walk draws attention in New York

The Rolling Stones are in town and even normally jaded New Yorkers are trying to star-spot.

So when they saw a distinguished older gentleman walking briskly down Fifth Avenue at a pace that would make Jumping Jack Flash proud, flanked by security agents and chased by a pack of photographers, camera crew and journalists, they stared.

At major intersections, police stopped traffic so the dapper man and his entourage could cross in safety - surely the sign of a superstar.

The group came to Trump Tower - and kept walking.

Was it Mick Jagger with a haircut and an unusually conservative suit? Keith Richards on a health kick?

No, just John Howard deciding to ditch the official black limousine for a spot of exercise on a baking late summer day after a lunchtime address to diplomats and businesspeople.

Mr Howard shares a birthday with Mick Jagger but the similarities end there.

"Hey, do you know who that guy is?" a woman asked the chasing pack.

"He's the Australian prime minister," she was told.

Her disappointment was palpable.

Haha

The media pack, used to following the prime minister through the more relaxed Australian streets, promptly did so, to the discomfort of the American Secret Service agents.

The guards were particularly concerned by a television reporter who was helping out his cameraman by carrying the tripod while chasing the PM.

Slung over his shoulder, the long metal object looked disturbingly like a rocket launcher.

In security-conscious New York, the day after the fourth anniversary of September 11 and on the eve of US President George W Bush's arrival for a UN summit with up to 170 other world leaders, it could have been a deadly mistake.

But when Mr Howard laughed and waved at the reporter, greeting him by name, the agents realised their suspect did not pose a threat.

Crisis averted.

*shakes head*

Funny stuff.
