Piers condensed

Akerman’s probably not Rudd’s biggest fan.

…prime ministerial boorishness… immature bullying… the thin lips of the man who won the hearts of many with his passionate, if ultimately worthless, “sorry” to the so-called Stolen Generation last year… a serial offender to whom apologies are cheap, from whom apologies flow like flooding rivers, even if he cannot remember what he is meant to be apologising for… his millionairess businesswoman wife… his night on the tiles in New York, the boozy dinner that ran over into close encounters of the grubbier kind at the now-closed strip club Scores… St Kevin is not what his spin doctors claim he is, not at all, and he never has been… an immature and petulant person… ill-equipped to deal with reality… his behavioural immaturity… few have revealed themselves to have such flawed characters… weaknesses… Rudd’s chronic flaw… marketing himself to the wider public through a gormless morning television program fixated not with policy but with one-dimensional personality applied in the dressing room and removed as soon as the lights went out… his much-trumpeted diplomatic career — low-level at best… his solemn Christianity has taken a back seat to his old-fashioned socialist ideas… recent irrational rants… fabricate a mythical past that glosses over some mean and nasty stuff… reluctant prime minister… recalcitrant Rudd’s meagre soul.

    I just did something I’ve never done before: I actually read all of the comments on this piece of trash (it could never be called journalism).

    You know I couldn’t help thinking as I read the comments that they were so nasty, so vicious, so narrow-minded that I would never be surprised to learn that Akerman writes most of them himself.

    Or else I think we need an intelligence before allowing people to vote!

    {Of course there’s no suggestion that Akerman actually does write comments on his blog under pseudonyms, just that some commenters seem to hold the same opinions as Akerman — Scott}

    That’s mean and nasty stuff, alright; and there’s no attempt to gloss it over. Piers is a joke.

    “St Kevin is not what his spin doctors claim he is”

    LOL – he ought to be happy about that since ’spin’ is usually just dishonesty wrapped up to sound not so dishonest.

    “an immature and petulant person…”

    I’m confused now, are we talking about Rudd or Ackerman? ;o)

    “his solemn Christianity has taken a back seat to his old-fashioned socialist ideas”

    Oh noes! Socialism is killing Christianity! Oh noes!

    Pier’s is slipping, he failed to mention the Heiner affair in that piece of bile.

    “NY Post Editor-in-Chief Col Allan and NT MP Warren Snowden have not, though they are (perhaps mistakenly) honourably reluctant to spill the beans ” Now that had my coffee coming out of my nostrils

    Is Peirs trying to build up material for next years Comedy Festival?

    Maybe someone should point Piers ( I really should od somthing about that dyslexia) to then look under Controversies. Now I know Wiki isn’t a relaible source but over at News reliable sources aren’t a high priority
