  1. “You can change the wrapping paper but the content of the message remains the same.”

    Bit like your name eh, Kev.

  3. Did they at least get his sex right, or do they think he’s Israeli?

  4. I think Andrew Bartlweet came out in support of the organisers, and affirmed that there are some racists who use the flag as a rallying point.

    Hoodathunk?

  5. Oops - sorry - had the flag controversy on my mind

  6. The Federal Government would be unchanged by any frontbench reshuffle….

    And that’s bad?  (He said paranthetically, having now read TIM’s post)

  7. Howard’s a lucky chap - he has to look like he’s having a reshuffle without actually being seen to change anything. He can just make a press release with ‘reshuffle’ in the heading and maybe make a star promotion or two. Fiddle with a few juniors and the job is done.

  10. Well, the very next thing that Kevni Ruff, teh Ledaer of teh Opossitin needs to do is to put out a press release on the important things, like who he is etc.

  14. Ah, so that’s where Margo Kingston’s working these days!

  15. Bartleweet condemned Howard’s stance on the reshuffle, saying that Kevvie “Ruff Trade” shouldn’t burn flags while failing to keep the water flows up to the gay whale population in Tibet.

    Oh, whatever.

  20. That name is heaps tougherer than Rudd the Dud. If I had my druthers, I’d wished my mammy called me ‘Kevni’. Or Viking. Or Halibut.

    Anything but Sue.

  21. Kevni should hook up with an old schoolmate of mine, Kevna, who’s Australia’s leading (non-muslim) exponent of belly dancing. The mind boggles as the bellies wobble.

  24. From another thread:

    So Kruddy now has Lyndsay Tanner as his policy spokesperson & Maxine McKew(-Hogg) as his policy adviser; that just leaves the red pen work to Kruddy, I guess?

    The Ruff-Hogg-Tanner policy team ...

    Whoa, stop the blandwagon ... we’ve come to a Hogg-in-the-road!

    Eagerly awaiting the Hoggblog ...

  25. Ruff is enuff
    I can’t go on, I can’t go on no more no
    Ruff is enuff
    I want him out, I want him out that door now
    Ruff is enuff
    Ruff is enuff
    that’s enuff

    If you’ve reached the fork-in-the-road,
    don’t pretend that is right when it’s over ...

  29. Tim I looked this story up on the wires (to see who exactly was responsible because it’s a golden error) and it looks like news.com.au changed the lead slightly and in doing so inserted the the Kevni Ruff error.

    The original AAP yarn starts with this sentence:

    “The values behind the Howard government will remain the same even if the prime minister goes ahead with a frontbench reshuffle, federal Opposition Leader Kevin Rudd says.”

    If they just copied and pasted like they usually do and not tampered with it they’d have been fine. So credit where it’s due I guess. At least no news.com.au journo slapped their own byline on the AAP copy though. That’s what they do over at the home of “quality” journalism, The Age online.

  30. Kevni Ruff is an anagram of Renvi Kuff, which is just the kind of thing I’d expect the Dear Leader to say.

  31. Oh crap, I completely screwed up the bold tags.

    I’m going to be shot.  I can feel it in my bones.

  43. I am not the only one who picked up on this but isn’t it ironic that as soon as Maxine McKew leaves the ABC she ends up working for the kevin Rudd as a “media advisor”. The staff at the ABC are completely balanced and impartial. (please note the use of sarcaism)

  46. Hey, do you reckon there’s a way we can get Kevni Ruff to stick?

    You know, like Downer is always portrayed by the cartoonists in net stockings and high heels, can we get young Kevvy Kevni to like, stick? You know,  John Howard’s ‘man of steel’ for instance…..
