It is not often this site has a kind word for anything American, however, wonders never cease; even the Americans have the measure of our sick little narcissist, Kevin Rudd. WikiLeaks’ latest release revealed that the former US Ambassador to Oz had Kevin Rudd ‘pegged to a tee’ -- ‘assessed accurately,’ for non-Aussie readers! US Ambassador, Robert McCallum, accurately described Rudd as a “control freak who is not up to the job of foreign policy,” how true! Rudd is also described as “a micro-manager obsessed with the media rather than engaging in collaborative decision making,'' who could dispute that?
Whether my assessments of (moron) Americans is a little harsh or Rudd’s pathologies are more pronounced than I initially assessed, I do not know, but EVERYONE seems acutely aware of Rudd’s incompetence and deeply flawed personality.
Rudd’s response to the cable leaks is in character; in a self-obsessed and insular manner he stated to Fairfax media that he didn’t “give a damn” about these assessments and that the comments were “water off a duck’s back.” Rudd seems oblivious to the fact that today he is a very WET and LAME DUCK!
Rudd only survives by contrast/comparison; his incompetence is muted in a Party which is largely dysfunctional, both State and Federal Labor are now characterised by their gross incompetence. Prime Minister Julia Gillard is perhaps the most indecisive and confused leader Oz has yet had to suffer. Fortunately her tenure in office will be short lived, as the people have had enough of Rudd, Gillard and their incompetent Labor Party colleagues.
A strong leader would have stood him down long ago; he was a known quantity long before the Americans ACCURATELY assessed him.
Media mogul, Rupert Murdoch and his Corporatist mates should think twice before installing another pathological personality as their next lackey PM, but really, what choice do they have, Gillard or Abbott, LOL?
The price we pay for Corporate rule is now far too high to bear -- RESTORE REPRESENTATIVE, DEMOCRATIC GOVERNMENT and install REAL INDEPENDENTS to OFFICE. Ditch the two party Corporate controlled system once and for ALL – regardless of all the (corporate controlled) media hype at election time.
