The Punter and John the Bore

Joining the ranks of the excessively sanctimonious, and dare I say it, precious, is Ricky Ponting, who found much to complain about in Phil Tuffnell's little jibes at Aussie performances during the Ashes. That things have gotten really bad for the Punter should be evident from the fact that he has been provided with some very dubious company on that lonely pedestal: John Howard, quite possibly the most colorless, boring, whiny politician of all time. Proof that Ponting is utterly humorless is now in court; the decision can only go one way.
