Dare it  be  said  that
 Pauline Hanson's   One  Nation
 success 
was   due  to  the  fact  that
 she  is  sexy
 ? Discussing  the   attributes  of   political  figureheads ,  a  mature  woman   who  had  handed out  ALP   how to
 vote 
cards in  two states over  the years and  is  now in Heaven ,  still ranting about John Howard  ,  explained  why  Pauline
attracted  large  crowds  at   public  meetings
  during  her  heyday.  Most  of
 the  audience , said our  non-PC  informant , were   male  old  codgers   with    plain   looking   wives .    Hanson   freely  planted   hugs  and   kisses 
on  the   Grey  Nomads  who  flocked
 to  her  side .   It  being
 a  long  time since  these   grumpy old  men  had
 come 
to   grips  with
 a  nubile   good sort , they   fell   under   her 
spell .  Many  of  the  men  went   home  
with   a   Hanson souvenir - lipstick  on  their
  bald   patches
–and   did  not
 shower  for  a  month.
