Does this guy ever shut up?

[donnashuggy]

PM material do you think?

Undecided voters cheered him, makes you wonder whether they were really undecided.

It's not what you do in a debate in my view.

Penny Wong has described Tony Abbott as aggressive. I maintain he is a bit of a thug.

Rudd kept interrupting him. That is rude

Why did she need to go into details?  She explained how one treated her and also said the other did the exact opposite.

"Didn't think my personal page/opinion of my day would get so much attention," she wrote.

"What a lesson to learn. I've removed the post & regret making the comments I did."

because if you make accusations they need to be specific, not hinted at. That page is not a personal page at all, it is public.

One commentator this morning suggested that abbott already had that rude comment in his repertoire, because it is well known that Rudd is very verbose and uses "big" words (words that Lib supporters don't understand), and saw the opportunity to use it.

He refuses to have any more orderly debates, he wants debates at clubs where he can let loose with comments like that.  Let's see which one he pulls out of his hat at the next meeting.

I have only seen screenshots of the the FB posts so have no idea if it was public or not.   (not exactly sure how it works)

PRIME Minister Kevin Rudd's penchant for big words not only confuses foreigners, but everyday Australians, Opposition Leader Malcolm Turnbull says.

MUCH has been written about Kevin Rudd's verbal acrobatics. Most has centred on the verbose language the Prime Minister uses.

i dont think, at the time, she realised that she needed to be very specific.   She might have  thought it would even be inappropriate to post the details.   Who knows?  It might be best that she didn't.
