Did anyone happen to catch the great prophet Paul Howes triumphant return to public life last night?

He was making sure the world was reminded of his role as king maker in rolling Rudd in the ABC Killing Season show.

For some reason Howes thought it was smart to be involved in a kind of dramatic reenactment scene.

Here are some stills from the show of him driving and texting on the Harbour Bridge and streets of inner Sydney.

Last time I checked, that was an act of stupidity and an offence ...even for the great Paul Howes.
