Sun, 25 June 2006 Thank God for the World Cup. The Winter Willies were threatening to swamp the Feds, what with poor IR polling, pollie payrises while petrol prices soar, backbenchers staging revolts over refugees and more embarrassment in Iraq. John Howard relied on two fave spin moves - donning the green and gold tracky dacks and staging another petrol price enquiry - to provide back cover as he crawled to the parliamentary recess, when half the gallery A-listers go skiing, the other half go Noosa. Bracksy had his own problems, what with some in his Party taking the word party to extremes, and his worsening personal pronunciation problems. The Slick Vic, though, took deflection to a level even the PM must admire - calling for Melbourne to become the home of the 2018 World Cup. As we always admire such bold diversionary moves, The Spin asked listeners to help out, and come up with some mascots. Obviously in their own political solstice, listeners came up with bizarre jumping Johnny dolls and a Bracksy blimp. Boydy has devised a new segment to rival his infamous "Dumb Story" segment: "Corporates in Trouble". Little Boy becomes the first Spin-meister ever to take to the field in the famous Community Cup. Richo visits Dildo, Massachussetts. All that, and a little bit more, in this week's episode of The Spin.
