Ronald Regan, before he ceased being US President, was becoming notorious for very public episodes of mental confusion and memory loss.
Last Saturday while addressing a crowd at the Granny Smith Festival in his own electorate of Bennelong, Prime Minister John Howard quite obviously forgot the who and where of his audience.
In full rhetorical flight he called on "Mr. Speaker". Thereby demonstrating that for one moment he thought he was still on his feet in the House of Representatives.
I guess that Labor candidate for Bennelong, Maxine McKew was lucky he didn't call a censure motion to curb her obvious enjoyment of this local festival.
