John Howard 'rooting' for Stan Zemanyk

A link to the news story in question - John Howard roots for Stan
Last week I came across the above news story on the Nine MSN news site. It's in regards to Stan Zemanek, one of Australia's more vile and loathsome 'shock jocks', who apparently has cancer and is retiring from baiting Australians so he can deal with said illness. It's kind of ironic, considering that Stan has long been a cancer within the Australian media, spreading rot via the airwaves and feeding his ego at the expense of his moronic listeners.
Anyway, this quote came up in the article, it's from John Howard - who rang in to Stan's last show to say these words, "You look after yourself, we're thinking of you and rooting for you."
Now, and I'm sure Mr. Howard is aware of this, 'rooting' has long been Australian slang for 'fucking'. In America, it means to back a team, or to cheer for someone, but that has never really been the case in Australia.
Until now.
It seems the Americanisation of our media has led to the further homogenisation of our culture, and more and more our language, grammar and general society is starting to resemble that of our American cousins. And, as if John Howard's tongue wasn't already brown enough from licking the sphincter of George W. Bush's arse, he now appears to be embracing this infection of our culture. Shame on you Mr. Howard! If any of our previous Prime Ministers had used the word 'rooting' there would've been no doubt that they were referring to fornication, but good old Johnny Arse-licker instead continues his one-man war against all things great.
Or is he?
Did John Howard genuinely mean that he would be rooting for Stan? That he would be throwing one up his wife in honour of Stan's memory, praying with every thrust that it would help Stan beat his cancer? His wife would no doubt hold up her hand in protest one night, "No John, I have a headache dear" and he would unbuckle his pants and wag his finger admonishingly, "Now now, this is for Stan darling... lie back and think of America, oops, I mean England".
And if I root for Stan to never return to radio again, will this cancel out Mr. Howard's attempts? I better give my girlfriend a call, we have a serious job to do...

While I don't wish cancer on anyone and I hope Stan recovers.....I wouldn't be unhappy if he stayed retired.
