Early morning world news from Australia, where our good friend from Down Under Tim Blair reports that Prime Minister Julia Gillard is polling at 29% . And you thought Obama had it bad.

How did the biggest political implosion since the Whigs happen? Cap and Trade, basically. Coming into office, she said “Read my lips; no carbon tax” and then went and did it anyway, thinking people would really like what was in the bill once they passed the bill. Sic semper tyrannis. A lesson for the ages.
