Bikini line nets support for John Howard
From D.D. McNicoll's Media Diary
July 22, 2004
"ONE of America's more unusual political commentators is running a red hot "Re-elect Prime Minister John Howard" campaign via the internet from Kansas.
Gabrielle Reilly says pictures of women's bodies transcend national borders.
Gabrielle Reilly, a raven-haired 35-year-old bikini model who hails from Alice Springs, claims to have scored more than 1.3 million hits on her conservative political website last month and was seriously quoted in Darwin's Sunday Territorian as a "US-based political columnist".
Reilly's website features as many pictures of her in bikinis as it does political messages -- which should attract voters who find the headshots of local pundits such as The Australian's Paul Kelly and The Sydney Morning Herald's Alan Ramsey less than sexy."
