KEVMANIA
No more Sunrise appearances for Kevni Ruff, who yesterday took to dancing with Nine’s Kerry-Anne Kennerly. Whatever will he do next? Reader egg suggests the ALP leader host his own show:
“Big Rudder”, where hapless families get evicted from a farmhouse ...
Or maybe he’ll co-present Quizmania, on which host Nikki Osborne tonight announced she was a Rudd fan - and declared that the Howard government was opposed to long weekends. “I’ve been reading The Age,” joked the not-unattractive presenter, who is plainly angling for a gamble-TV role with the ABC.
I sense an opportunity here… what color do they want the next Tellytubby to be?
Posted by richard mcenroe on 2007 04 18 at 02:19 PM • permalinkMeanwhile, at the serious end of Helping Kev, SBS sent Egregious Negus to Malaysia to interview ‘Democracy Crusader’ and Islamic Reformer Ibrahim.
Most of the questions were about how undemocratic Malaysia still is and how heroic Ibbie is in ‘fighting on’.
The second topic was what was wrong with the allies toppling Saddam. [It was wrong]
Negus just egged Ibrahim on to condemn us and the West for not ‘understanding Islam’ there.
Not a single question on Saddam and why he wasn’t OK, being undemocratic and all.
Much mutual hand-wringing and nodding about the ALLIES causing all the violence in Iraq.
Not a single question asking that pehaps it was mostly Islamic violence, Ibrahim?
Not a single suggestion that the War on Terror was more than a stupid misunderstanding by Bush, Howard and Co, who don’t get Asian Values [all the Asians oppose us, you see, just like Mahathir said.]
Not a single question on Ibrahim and Sharia or Malaysia and Israel.Negus at his smarmy and incompetent best, pinch-hitting for Rudd and SBS’s ‘see no evil’ view of Islam.
Too dumb or biased to see his two interview topics contradicted each other.
He must have read Playboy instead of doing any homework on his CO2-wasting trip.But help Rudd? Why NOT!
Let’s go to the classics: “Krudd the Obscure”...
Posted by richard mcenroe on 2007 04 18 at 07:54 PM • permalinkThe man seems to have a habit of embellishing the truth to make himself look more interesting.
Yesterday on radio he said something about his wife being a business operator, then added that he had briefly had his own business, but he sort of trailed off sounding a little hinky.
This could be worth following up: Heavy Kevvy’s glorious commercial venture.
Kevni could star in an Aussie version of Little House on the Prairie.
Episode 1 Battler Kevni builds a log cabin with logs from non-old-growth forest and recycled tofu aided by faithful sidekicks Kochie and Mel.
Episode 2 Kevni battles evil, global-warming disbelieving red-neck farmers.
Episode 3 Kevni constructs log steel mill powered by a six sq inch solar panel and a windmill; grateful workers rejoice with praise for the great helmsman…..
The series could last for a decade.
Having failed the substance test, Rudd has opted for the superficial. Kennerley and Osborne don’t want themselves, their show or their guests to be taken seriously. Rudd’s handlers obviously sees that as the secret weapon against the dignified John Howard.
Rudd on Big Brother in 2008? Rudd in Bum Fights in 2010?
#12 - Wouldn’t that be a battle of the bloggers if the feline fancier beat Blair to Nikki!
Interesting thing in Nikki’s bio:
SINGING - 2004
Taking a year off from acting, Nikki found her voice when she toured as a lead singer with Jon English after being discovered by Jon in an airport.How the hell do get discovered for singing in an airport?
Posted by Infidel Tiger on 2007 04 18 at 09:16 PM • permalinkA talentless ‘Goth’ wannabe (must be her appearance times), devoid of any real acumen, touting on a late night TV show, being passed of as entertainment, commenting on politics? Well she would have to be a good candidate for the ‘Rudd TV LoveIn Jamboree’ and employment at ‘their’ ABC,(wonder what Mel and Kochie’s status is now, in that department).
Look at how many other hacks from commercial television have moved on, or back to taxpayer funded employment. At least with Foxtel, you can cut the connection and not have to pay. When will they get rid of this compulsory local content crap, and open up to real competition.#16 - It was a lemonade stand out the front of the farm. That was until a hyper-mega-global-corporation moved in destroying his business and family.*
*As 11yo Kev remembers it.
Posted by Infidel Tiger on 2007 04 18 at 09:19 PM • permalinkOK, so Rudd can dance with Kerry; that’s great. Now, Kevin, tell us how you plan to reduce carbon emissions by 60% in 40 years, please.
Posted by pick-your-pun on 2007 04 18 at 09:51 PM • permalinkSlightly O/T
The Chaser certainly went up in my estimation last night, wot with the PG warning at the outset and the very gutsy effort from the Spruiker outside that building of no appearance in a western Sydney suburb of no appearance.
However, I did detect a sense of relief from the Spruiker when the passer by grabbed the microphone from him, thus giving him a perfect opportunity to leg it. Which he did, showing admirable fleetness of foot.
Don’t be nervous man, they understand satire and have well developed senses of humour. They won’t be after you.
Very gutsy effort indeed, keep going until you find the limit of tolerance.
Can’t be far now….

He probably stole a cookie store. It’s kind of traditional…
Posted by richard mcenroe on 2007 04 18 at 10:02 PM • permalinkYeah, An ANZAC cookie (biscuit) store.
Posted by ozconservative on 2007 04 18 at 10:10 PM • permalinkOT but here’s another idea from the lunatic fringe.
QUEENSLAND motorists buying environmentally friendly cars would receive free vehicle registration under a Coalition scheme.
I have been travelling, and missed Kev’s Sunrise problems. Last year he wore a Seven Sunrise logo shirt at a Kokoda dawn service and I emailed him to say that was a stupid thing to do. He wrote back (twice) to say he realised it was idiotic and he would not be such a twit again. His language was direct and clear, not equivocating at all. Now I read this and can’t help but think, WHAT A FOOL. Unbelievable. And Nikki Osbourne is the best sort on Oz T.V for mine

#33- and state Liberal/National parties wonder why no-one votes for them- the only ideas they come up with are even more moronic than the idiocies of the incumbents. That’s the sort of blithering imbecility I’d expect the Greens or Democrats to pop out their bots.
If nothing else it ignores equity- don’t hybrid cars use (and cause wear and tear) to road surfaces? More I’d say, as they’re heavier than a conventional car. Don’t they already contribute less to road funds due to their alegedly superior fuel economy, thus paying less excise?
And what about the extra costs they incur through battery disposal requirements, and the extra training and equipment needed by emergency service personnel to extract the electrocuted hippies from the arcing wreck of said vehicle when it inevitably runs into something hard, the driver being unable to see clearly through the miasma of smug self-rightousness clouding the cabin.
Just how fucking stupid do you have to be to aspire to government?
Habib, that’s right up there with the plea not to have yourself cremated when you die. Do you realise that you can give off 50kg of carbon? Save the planet!
Anyway, the recommendation is that you have yourself buried, upright, in a cardboard box or a hessian bag, under a tree. Then the family can come and visit.So, what’s wrong with visiting Granny and Grandpa in the niche?
That’s way too crowded to be a party room meeting of the Qld Coalition.
The problem with Qld is that enterprising types are given the choice of making buckets of money developing property and writing off the 45 foot riveria as an expense since all you do is take various council and low level labor types out for a days fishing on the piss in it, or hang around with Bruce Flegg.
Decisions, decisions…

Posted by Infidel Tiger on 2007 04 19 at 02:24 AM • permalink#47- Barnacle Joyce took a pay cut? I doubt it- a bean counter in Emerald isn’t likely to be pulling around 150K a year (30-40 of it tax free) plus a chauffered car on call 24 hours a day, travel allowance (usually squirreled away by dossing on couches, the tight gits) and all the other lurks such as indexed unfunded superannuation, accompanied by the delusion of grandeur and media slutting he’s exhibited ever since being pushed into the senate on Liberal Party preferences. I dislike this mouthy pillock much more than Bob Brown- at least Bob made it plain he was a dingbat long before he slithered into Canberra; if Barnacle was the pick of the litter during pre-selection, the rest must have been real champions.
While we are on Chaser skits this is a ripper.
/not anti-American
//can laugh at Aussies, tooPosted by Villeurbanne on 2007 04 19 at 03:50 AM • permalink#53 - That’s exactly the type of skit that makes me want to pound those smarmy, self fellating, arse sperlunkers.
Posted by Infidel Tiger on 2007 04 19 at 04:10 AM • permalink#57 Not me. I like that stuff despite the obvious underlying assumptions it makes. It’s like an extended Jay Leno ‘Jaywalking’ segment. It’s silly and leaves you shaking your head but, for me, it’s still funny.
They used to do a similar one during the 2004 Australian election where they would highlight the lack of political knowledge of an Aussie and then finish the piece with titles announcing ‘This Person Votes’.
Posted by Villeurbanne on 2007 04 19 at 05:22 AM • permalink#57- Must agree, you could ask the same questions of Broadmeadow Bogans, Midlands Pikeys, members of the Frog Egalitaire or any other group of poorly (and usually publically) educated people whose interests run to page three tits, Big Brother and the next lottery draw and get the same, or deeper level of ignorance.
But that wouldn’t suit their agenda, or their audiences preconceived prejudices, that all Americans are fat, lazy, ignorant, insular, inbred and idiotic. It’s about as risky as Kath and Kim snobby sniping at bogan wannabes- how dare those oiks aspire to the lifestyle and privelige we ABC types have as our birthright.
What would be riske’ would be to stroll around a souk in the Middle East, not even anywhere really retarded like Riyadh or Damascus, and stick a microphone into some random Bedoiuns mushs and ask them about world affairs since 1350, scientific facts and personal hygiene.
Pathetic undergraduate twerps.
just what we need another marxist media whore to add to the other 107 already at someone elses abc
Posted by Astonished on 2007 04 19 at 08:10 AM • permalinkJust watched the Footy Show (Rugby League version) and I was half expecting to see Mr Rudd sitting with the panel or being interviewed by Reggie Reagan
Next - guest appearances on All Saints and Big Brother
Posted by aussiemagpie on 2007 04 19 at 09:16 AM • permalinkThe coalition is going down the tubes.
Slimy Antony Albanese is flaying them for not acting on the Murray-Darling for 10 years.
Howard’s response was to say how bad the drought was.He should have said that it was a State responsibility, he was trying to get them to refer powers and inject 10 billion and waxy Bracks is holding up the show. Not a good sign.
Posted by boxofmatches on 2007 04 19 at 12:09 PM • permalinkNot referring to Tim himself, but bearing in mind the time of the show and the fitness of the presenter Nikki, should not the show be called Wankmania?
Posted by boxofmatches on 2007 04 19 at 12:18 PM • permalinkIn the news, Rudd’s eldest brother cannot provide any evidence of the Kevin eviction yarn but says “[o]ur family embraces this as a family truth.” LOL. He also says he’ll vote for his little brother with more conviction now because “I am seriously spooked by global warming.”
You’ve got dancing Rudds, we’ve got singing McCains.
Posted by dean martin on 2007 04 19 at 06:53 PM • permalinkoh Tim… and I thought Nikki was all mine, she’s so fine…
but this can only be appreciated by subjecting oneself to Q’mania during a period when she is hosting - because apart from looking awful swell she is very amusing
on Rudd, did anyone notice what he said in response to the somewhat odd refugee swap plan the other day? “It strikes me as passing strange that we now will be playing swapsies” - “Passing strange” makes him sound like a total pratt and “swapsies” is wierdly infantile - at least Howard speaks seriously. null

I understand that Joyce has accounting practice in St George, about 500km south of Emerald. I don’t think there is a Comcar outpost there. Led to beleive it was (is) quite a sucessful practice.Was impressed by him shirtfronting Wild Bill Heffernan in the first day in the job, after indicating that if elected to senate he was going to turn over a new leaf and not punch fools in the head. That apparently lasted 1 day.
In any event, is not a pillow biting, vegemite drilling, chocolate cha cha dancing dark greenie so in my view he’ll always be ahead of Brown.

Rudd, Murdoch have meeting and dinner…
Fine time for Tim to be away. Despite all the attempts to downplay them, the WMD were found after all. Thanks Melanie Phillips.

She’s got to get rid of that black eyeliner though. I hate that corpse look.
