Now do you think that the media will run with THIS story, bigtime, to fairly balance the earlier insinuations? Will Kerry follow up Downers’ likely use of diplomatic gossip, via official sources, for political purposes?

Na , just leave the mud sticking.
Other things to cover.
End of story.

Today’s The Australian newspaper says … Mr Downer told Mr Rudd that “we know all about you and Col Allan in New York” during Question Time in Parliament about three months ago.

On the ABC news tonight they played Downer in parliament saying it.

Will some enterprising journalist please take Downer to task for this and ask him what he knows about this incident?

I don’t think our Kev07 is all that spontaneous except when he’s got a few grogs in him!

On July 2, a 45-year-old Seattle man died from something called acute peritonitis. His colon was perforated while he was having sex with a horse.

The man, who died before he was dropped off at Enumclaw Community Hospital, was traced back to a 40-acre farm where investigators found hundreds of hours of videotape depicting men, including the one who died, having sex with horses. He had bought the stallion earlier this year. His family told a reporter they were surprised at the purchase.

“Happily, the Australian public is not prudish about displays of human frailty in its politicians, and the revelation has actually improved Labor’s standing with the voters,” the newspaper said.

“It’s nice to know that the strippers seem to have given the straitlaced Mr Rudd a bit of a boost Down Under.”

Visting genetlemans clubs as part of a NY cultural tour..I LIKE IT!

isn’t the UK daliy tele a tory paper?

(Jack Marx that is.) Here is the root of his trouble.

Wonder how the newspapers and television stations will be able to sell advertising space/time from now on if the majority of people stop looking there to find out what’s happening in the world?
