ALAN ISN’T HERE TO HELP
The SMH’s Alan Ramsey launches into our national helper monkey:
Kevin Rudd is what I call a PPP - a prissy, precious p—ck. One with a glass jaw, a quick temper and, when he loses it, a foul tongue.
And don’t imagine I’m the only one who thinks so. One day the electorate will learn about Rudd’s very human, if dark, side. For the moment it knows only his good bits.
Hmmm ... glass jaw, quick temper, foul tongue ... Rudd sounds much like Mark Latham, of whom Ramsey was quite fond. He’s right, though, about not being the only one who thinks little of Kevni; Canberra’s press pack is presently undergoing a re-evaluation of the ALP leader, who does seem to have a touch of Chris Sheil about him.
