Gosh, how’s that journalist Laurie Oakes’ form? He’s spilling Labor secrets all over the place. In fact the ALP is spouting more leaks than an asylum seeker boat thirty minutes from Australian waters. Sorry that’s an inappropriate simile, but strangely pertinent to our current political policies.
Is it:
a. due to his amazing psychic abilities
b.because of careful observation of the political climate
c. because Kevin Rudd has him on speed dial
Lock in C Eddie. Come on, where else is Oakes getting this stuff? And quite frankly is anyone surprised? I mean Rudd has hardly distinguished himself as a man of honour.
Increasingly we hear stories of his bullying, tantrum throwing, foul mouth and persecution of the Australian vernacular. Yesterday’s Sunday Mailran a report that suggested he had qualities of Asperger’s Syndrome. I commented in March in a post questioning whether or not Kevin Rudd was a teenage girl given that he snubbed NSW Premier Kristina Kenneally. I do apologise for that aspersion against the character of teenage girls.
Former Labour Prime Ministerial candidate Mark Latham calls Rudd unmanly and like a snake. He states that Rudd should have been made the Minister for Defence in Afghanistan. Wow, don’t hold back now Mark. In case you’ve forgotten that the very honourable Mark Latham who lost an unlosable election to John Howard based on a bullying handshake. Pot. Kettle. Black.
Now I personally don’t know Kevin Rudd, but because I live in Brisbane where he’s from I’ve heard a few Kevin Rudd stories.
One was from the son/daughter (gender unnamed to protect the source–very deep throat) of a friend of a friend of my mothers. Now how close is that to the source? Anyway the issue identified by the source was that Kevin Rudd was an arsehole who kept them waiting with the jet and staff on standby for hours on numerous occasions.
He was rude and dismissive to the staff. Apologies were never issued for the inconveniences. The source also said when he was on the plane he spent his whole time fighting with Wayne Swann while swearing a lot. Apparently Julia Gillard was the only one who used her manners. I think the way you treat your staff speaks volumes about you as a human being.
My other source involves the endorsement of an ALP member for preselection. Apparently Rudd rang the nominator of the proposal and insisted that the nomination be withdrawn. The fiesty ALP stalward told him to go away and was harrangued by Rudd for the trouble.
Anyway are these evidence? Of course not, the stories are heresay and probably embellished along the way, but you know what, stories like this have a way of sticking.
Take the hair dryer tantrum throwing incident in Afghanistan. While Rudd denies it, many people think it’s true. I do. You couldn’t make that stuff up if you tried. So from that incident I concluded that Rudd was a)vain, b)was unmanly because he used a hair dryer, c) had an inappropriate sense of occasion and d) told lies.
It’s ironic though isn’t it that Kevin Rudd was rushed to hospital for an operation on his gallbladder. Yep that’s right, the organ of the body that stores bile. Chinese herbalists would have a lot to say about that. Image
