Rudd: “Second tier level geek”

A WAVE of ridicule greeted Kevin Rudd as he arrived in London for the G20 Summit yesterday. Not only has the Prime Minister been downgraded to “second tier status”, the British media has dubbed him a boot-wearing geek from Down Under.
Ignoring the success of his visit to the US and talks with President Barack Obama, they instead chose to dredge up everything from his New York strip club fiasco in 2003 to petty sniping about his clothes.
One newspaper described Mr Rudd’s style as being “a charisma-free zone” and said he was best known for “a drunken trip to a strip club”.
Another commentator took Mr Rudd a little more seriously,describing him as a fan of IMF reform and a globally co-ordinated solution to toxic bank debt.
But the spell was broken when, under the heading “distinguishing features”, she said: “Cool exterior belies inner chaos. May wear RM Williams boots.”
Meanwhile, Mr Rudd’s wife Therese Rein found herself in glamourous company as the “first wives club” also began to gather.

HE MIGHT have been invited to the world’s hottest party but Kevin Rudd is still being seen by some as a boot-wearing geek from Down Under.
First British officials organising the G20 summit downgraded the Australian delegation to “second tier” status, that is, not essential to the creation of a solution to the global recession alongside the heavy weight Obama, Brown, Medvedev or Hu.
Now the British press have made light of the leader, who arrived in London yesterday, from his boozing at a New York strip club years ago to even the clothes he wears.
“Style: charisma-free zone best known for drunken trip to a New York strip club,” was how one newspaper described the Australian leader.
