    Any mug can swear, doesnt take much to do that and if that's impressing you well I think your easily impressed. I'd be suprised if everyone doesnt swear from time to time.......I'm talking about him smashing his fist into the table and ridiculing individuals directly, and in front of a camera no less.

    You've never had one of those moments?

    I think most of us have!

    Errr he is not alone, he is with someone there and looks to be in a working capacity....he might be off air, but he is still working. Its inappropriate for anyone in the workplace, and very inappropriate for a government minister IMO. That is violent aggression.... so now perhaps we have context what the stewardess might have faced when she served him the meal he didnt want to eat.

    I dunno, people quick to revert to physicality when upset are a worry to me. You cannot be suggesting it was a one off from him because the media reports lots of outburst when he was PM.

    The aggression seems to be directed at something outside of his control and yet he continues to get more upset and aggitated about it. Its one thing to be angry inside, but I think its another to keep escalting it in your mind to reach a point where it includes physical outbursts and personal attacks.

    Does any one else think that the source of that leak was none other than Kevin "Bloody" Rudd himself?

    Personally - I really couldn't give a tinkers who is PM. Both Sweary Kev and Juliar are far better options than Big Shirtless Tony - but I am really sick of the media thinking this is news.

    The video in the OP is not the original one. This one is [ame="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uOUFKZBpFTY&feature=player_embedded"]Kevin Rudd is a Happy Little Vegemite - YouTube[/ame] . It has over 364,000 views up from 100,000 15 hours ago

    Nup. Why do you call Tony 'shirtless' because he swims in triathalon's without a shirt - like most everyone else?

    This is news, because this little fella wants to be, has been, and could be the PM. If that's how he really acts then I think he looks like a bit of a nutcase.

    People will be outraged over this, but how many of those people have never been frustrated and swore on occasion? Rudd is human like the rest of us. This video just strengthens my belief that he can be the Labor Party's saving grace.

    I disagree. Sweary Kev is off overseas - but I think he left a little (F) bomb to make sure we keep talking about him
    And will be I think.
    Julia is backed into a corner. Inexplicable as it is - I think Kevvie is coming back

    I was told years ago by colleagues in the Qld govt. who had worked with Kev in his time here that this is how he really acts. Found it hard to believe at the time. I agree he looks like a bit of a nutcase. But good luck to him. Let's have a sweary PM. Hope he keeps up the blue talk when he gets his job back.

    If an executive officer of a company carried on like Rudd, they`d be facing charges in court. How can this clown be so delusional as to dream of being the CEO of Australia? Abuse of employees and service staff isn`t acceptable.

    This is what we need in America, people who are not afraid to fight for their beliefs. Guy reminds me of Anthony Weiner, pre-"lewdness" who would yell and scream, and make sense at the same time.

    Nothing wrong with yelling & swearing etc, but when they put on the PC mealy mouth for the camera, then go home & kick the cat, they`re just neurotic p1ssants.

    I think everyone every now and then has chucked a swear word or two around, but doing it while you are a Minister representing Australia and doing it while you are being filmed shows the character of a man I DON'T want to be MY PM.

    Whinging? Its only a day or so old!!

    If you think its 'whinging' allready, then perhaps you just dont like hearing the truth being so openly discussed about KRudd. Me thinks you don't know what whinging means. Are you a pom, that might explain it :wink:

    That comment might possibly actually mean something somewhere, most probably a place that`s history.

    Sorry to tell ya Mak but NOTHING will be able to save the ALP at the next election. If they put the Dudd back in all it will do is save them a few seats in QLD...they voting public is chomping at the bit to get rid of ALP, the watermelons ( greens...what a freakin joke they are ) and the so called independents.

    I think there is one and only one person who can save the ALP. Tony Abbott. If he makes a fool of himself the ALP is safe.

    At this point Tony Abbott could smother himself in peanut butter and roll through parliament house and still win the next election...

    Theres no if, he makes a fool of himself frequently. My prediction is he will have a public meltdown closer to the election.
