Blokes we love

*Note- there was no actually article about paul but he is mentioned and is on the cover. I will type up the appropriate parts.*

Gough Whitlam,

Statesman

Nominated by Cheryl Kernot, politician

"What do you mean I can’t have Paul McDermott?" asked a dismayed Cheryl Kernot, Federal Member for Dickson, in Queensland. Not quite how it sounds though – she was simply been told the star of Channel 10’s Good News Week had already been the tempo team’s cover choice for out story.

McDermott was the generic choice of the team because as Mrs Kernot said: "He’s adorable; he’s so devilish, like your naughty little brother; He’d make a great Puck in A Midsummer Night’s Dream." (Which is why he was chosen. That and because he has cross-generational, cross-gender sex appeal – Ed.)

*she goes on about Gough….*

But Mrs Kernot can’t resist turning the subject back to McDermott one last time: "He’s got the intellect too, of course," she said. "Paul McDermott for Prime Minister!" (And so say all of us!)
