Howard, Costello and Milne

I always wanted to see the back of the Howard-Costello danse macabre, but I didn't realise it could happen so soon. Mind you, neither did Milney - he's spent two decades sucking up to Peter Costello, and he didn't even call. His credibility as a Canberra insider is shot, his future reporting on a Labor government zero. Hollywood-on-the-Molonglo is one step further into history with Milney gone.
