RUDD QUITS
But he’s hanging on to his second job.
Rudd shall grow not old, as Koch and Doyle that are left grow old:
Age shall not weary Rudd, nor the years contemn.
At the going down of the sun (but lets make it 4am)
We will remember him.Posted by Margos Maid on 2007 04 15 at 07:45 PM • permalinkJeez - they could have gone a bit easier on the lippy in that photo. He looks like a transvestite.
Posted by walterplinge on 2007 04 15 at 07:46 PM • permalinkRudd should have heard warning bells when Hockey declined to be involved in the pre-dawn service.
Instead hes basicly handed the Libs a steak tenderiser, whipped out his tallywhacker on the table and given them a week of free swings at it.Posted by thefrollickingmole on 2007 04 15 at 08:12 PM • permalink“But he’s hanging on to his second job.”
I think it was Ron Frazer of the Mavis Bramston Show who invented the line, “What a horrible thing to say! You’ll never get to be my second-best friend.”Posted by SwinishCapitalist on 2007 04 15 at 08:31 PM • permalink#7 1.618 Ah yes, but Krudd would never knowingly lie, would he?
Yes, that’s it .. I can see it now… don’t tell me the details so I cannot possibly know, ipso facto, I can never lie!
Now I wonder why he would feel the need to make a statement that he never lies? Hmm some things just beg the question.
Anyone have the misfortune to see the intense scutiny Kevni was subjected to by the sharp-tongued* Liz Hayes on Sixty Minutes last night? Like being savaged by a sheep- more free kicks than a test matched referee’d by a Pommy. Even with the featherduster treatment he cam across as a smarmy, smug, pompous twat with flexible ethics anf memory. If that’s the best they can do he’s about as electable as David Hicks. And Julia Gizzard looks more and more like Little Lotta every day- is there a fat ankle and arse gene only carried by Labor front benchers?
*It’s need to be sharp to be able to weave its way between the clenched cheeks of Kevvie’s clacker.
#2. Yet another new keyboard moment. So glad I’ve not got a drink handy.
Well done.
Posted by Nilknarf Arbed on 2007 04 15 at 08:45 PM • permalinkHabib, have you ever thought of applying for the spot to do the weekly feedback roundup at the end of the show ? Your incisive commentary would make much better television that the drone in the suit they currently employ…
Posted by Rachel Corrie's Flatmate on 2007 04 15 at 09:15 PM • permalinkHe’s still got the Play School gig I hope?
Posted by Infidel Tiger on 2007 04 15 at 09:32 PM • permalinkSo if he can’t stand up to Tim Blair over a TV show, what are the odds he can stand up to Indonesia?
Posted by richard mcenroe on 2007 04 15 at 10:08 PM • permalinkThe girls at work - the lovely receptionists who have control of the remote for the surgery waiting room telly, have over the past few weeks switched over from Sunrise to Today in the mornings - the general feeling is that Mel and Kochie have jumped the shark
Posted by aussiemagpie on 2007 04 15 at 10:26 PM • permalinkPoor old Kochie and Mel didn’t seem to be taking the news very well. Both were sporting faces that resembled a cats arse after a lemon juice enema this morning. I’m assuming that’s not their normal look.
Posted by Infidel Tiger on 2007 04 15 at 10:32 PM • permalink#17 - nor was their any mention on any ABC news broadcast between friday and sunday (except the Insiders but they probably figured seeing Bolt was there they couldn’t cover it up).
They did have time for the world’s oldest chimpanzee
Rudd quitting Sunrise is however currently the lead story on Radio national news bulletins, Rudd,Hockey Drop Sunrise
where in the ABC charter does it say they have to do thier utmost to protect Labor leaders from themselves?
Posted by eeniemeenie on 2007 04 15 at 10:42 PM • permalinkDidn’t see Friday’s Herald Rebase. Still interesting to see the difference in coverage given to the story between the SMH and Sun Herald on one hand and Sunday Tele and Australian on the other. I still maintain that Fairfax and the ABC would like the honeymoon to go on forever.
Also no mention of the threats made from Rudd’s office to try to stop the story.#10 Habib
Did you notice Mrs Krudd’s response to the question on her business interests? I’m sure she said “if” he wins. And that although she’d do whatever the advisers tell her, she clarified with, “we’ll cross that bridge when we come to it.” His 50th, son’s 21st, daughter’s marriage, election. Add another one if he’s successful ... divorce. She ain’t giving up he business. No way, no how. And if you notced the look on Krudd’s face when the camera panned back, he knows it too!
Justin, if Womble wins, when he and Mrs Rudd are out of the country we can all turn proudly to the Acting First Couple.
#31 - He appears to be wearing a leather face and a vinyl jacket. The other bloke is probably called “Bluey” by his mates.
Posted by Infidel Tiger on 2007 04 16 at 12:00 AM • permalinkOT, but worth noting. I have just come from Parramatta Mall where I completed 10 minutes incarceration in the traveling David Hicks Mobile Mini Guantanamo Cell.
The cell is modelled on the real thing. It has a padded bench, a one-way window (actually two-way in the model) and a toilet and sink. There is a heavy chain bolted to the floor at the middle and with iron shackles at each end. There is a video screen and webcam which I don’t think are in the original cells.
As I was shut in my cell I can confirm the the orange jump-suited Amnesty International guards were crueler than Guantanamo guards in that they would not supply me with a Koran, but they did have a sense of humour when I suggested they warn people the toilet is not plumbed.
The shackles which I was encouraged to heft are interesting. The hole is too small for a man’s ankle. When I pointed this out to the guard she thought the shackles might go on your wrists. Then I showed how I could squeeze my hand through the closed shackle. Nevertheless, the guard did not lose any confidence in the demonstration shackles.
Visitors are asked to leave a video message and I was happy to oblige. “Don’t do terrorism, or you’ll end up in one of these,” I warned. That message will probably be wiped.
I was going to ask why they thought Hicks pleaded guilty, but they were way too earnest-looking, and I was looking forward to buying my lunch.
#36 I think that’s The Cougar from those ads for alcoholic beverages.

Posted by Infidel Tiger on 2007 04 16 at 12:28 AM • permalinkre #31 I must say that Bowie has not aged well at all
Posted by Margos Maid on 2007 04 16 at 12:31 AM • permalink#30- My missus noticed the same, being a lot more perceptive for nuance than her boofheaded, insensitive cohabitant. Kevni couyld always change the legislation, cutting off the gravy train to jobnetwork “providers”. shortly thereafter I’d say he’d find his dessicated bollocks in a similar state.
#34- did you manage to snap one off in the lavvie? the Amnesty mongs could then experience some real cruel and unusual punishment.
#34 In the interests of realism, first you should be allowed to fire a few rounds at shoppers.
Posted by Margos Maid on 2007 04 16 at 01:00 AM • permalink#39 MM, he still seems quite fit. Here he is running on to the Pacific Highway to collar some rock-throwing, skylarking youths.
A Sydney father told of racing to stop a rock throwing rampage at fast-moving traffic on the Pacific Highway last night which damaged at least 15 cars and a semitrailer and could easily have proved fatal.
And he described how the boys responsible were running onto the motorway to retrieve rocks.
“They were lamenting they couldn’t hit the passenger bus because they had run out of rocks,” David Bowie told smh.com.au.
They were lamenting they couldn’t hit the passenger bus because they had run out of rocks….... they could have used the ones in their heads. what’s the betting on no charges being laid, and moreso any restitution being made?
There’s a lot to be said for an armoured Humvee- “the rock bouncing off my reinforced widcreen startled me, officer, causing me to momentarily lose control and plow into this gaggle of roadbed-hurling, slack-jawed jackanapes.”
Now Krudd has said that his decision to quit Sunrise is because it’s an election year, and two important politicians who are mates, but on opposite sides, should not be on TV together. I guess Julia and Tony will also be calling it quits with the Today show as well. Unless, of course, Krudd’s full of shite and has quit Sunrise because of the pre-dawn service fiasco.
#50, 51. Did you also notice in the report that police took 30 minutes to respond to the triple-0 call? From reading the report it appears that it was on the Raymond Terrace by-pass (I’ll bet it was at the back of the housing commission estate on Clyde Circuit). The Raymond Terrace police station is less than 2km away and it took them 30 minutes to respond - thanks everyone who voted Iemma back in.
#2. That is superb. Thank you, MM.
Posted by Chris Chittleborough on 2007 04 16 at 03:10 AM • permalinkBloody hell. Slow news tonight. Today Tonight reports:
The RAN is dumping rubbish in the ocean. It’s illegal.
The most interesting aspect of the report is that Ian Kiernan (Clean Up Australia) is having apoplexy; Brendan Nelson doesn’t give a rat’s.
And the spaz-dancing-bone-dome Opposition Environment Minister doesn’t give a rat’s either. I guess the party hasn’t OK’d him to comment. And given him a script.
If you lie down with journalists, you might get up with a bad case of israel derangement syndrome. Never mind that the Palis may have just murdered one of your colleagues.
At best you’ll probably be in danger of brainwashing about the virtues of a Bill of Rights - unless you associate closely with Paul Sheehan.Not to mention that Rudd is considered a pest in some countries.

Oh dear, Krudd has picked up his bat, is going home and won’t play anymore!
Gee it’s tough when you get caught out.
