Rudd wants top UN job :(

[idlewhile]

"I am not seeking the top UN Job....like he denied I am not undermining Gillard, I am happy as foreign minister , I have no intention of challenging for PM again"  and on and on and on.

The ego has landed, the madman in charge of the world, world domination, look at me, see how clever I am, please forget I called the whole Chinese nation something to do with rats and I promise I won't meddle in everything, no really, I promise.

Does anybody seriously believe he went quietly into the good night? no, he's been furiously trying to elevate himself on the world stage again, why? because he feels, in his mind, he is all powerful, more clever than everybody and he really deserves to be in charge of the world.

His own former Party hates him but I wonder how long it will take to install him in the Pantheon of Labor heroes if he gets the UN role? Shorten will suddenly be his best mate and agree with everything he says, even if he doesn't hear it.

Of course he denies it, that's what he does.

What is all the drama and outrage for?  

Kevin Rudd close but unlikely to get UN secretary-general role, say experts

Kevin Rudd's chances for the top job at the United Nations have been dealt a blow by experts, who say there is a stronger candidate who ticks all the right boxes.

Bulgarian Irina Bokova, the current head of the UN's largest agency UNESCO, announced her candidacy for the post of secretary-general earlier this year.

...Greg Rudd  "The UN started in 1945, there have been eight secretary-generals, none have been women and none have come from the eastern European section.

"The general view, globally, is that it's their turn."

Experts said Ms Bokova was an extremely strong performer who met the UN stipulation of fluency in French.

..That a woman has never been named secretary-general of the UN was a factor Dr Nadin said was also likely to strengthen former New Zealand prime minister Helen Clark as a candidate over Mr Rudd if Ms Clark sought the role.

"Helen Clark is the current director of UNDP [United Nations Development Program] which counts in her favour again."

Mr Beattie, a former Queensland premier and trade envoy, said Mr Rudd “does have a chance” at becoming the first Australian to fill the UN’s most senior role.

“I know in Australia there is divided opinion about Kevin, but in the international scene — and as you know I’ve spent a lot of time in the United States — he is well regarded,” Mr Beattie told Sky News, acknowledging Mr Rudd’s “enemies will cringe when I say that.

...Mr Beattie said: “I just say to Australians, love him or hate him, it’s a good thing to have Australia being considered for this position.”

what doesn't make sense?

he didn't get elected PM. sat on the backbench for a few months then retired. saying he wanted to spend more time with his family.

the result a costly by election.

now he wants to be on the UN. what does he think they will let him work from home?

That's what the Germans thought about Hitler.

Rudd is a deeply flawed man driven by envy and narcissistic fantasies. 

His relentless  vendetta against Gillard was terrifying to watch, he then manipulated the whole Labor party to ensconce him  back as PM  and rigged the rules so that if he won the election they could  never replace him  no matter how dysfunctional he got.

This is a man who masks his deep hatreds and feelings of rage with the ghastly milky bar kid smile and thinks that's all he has to do to fool people.

It suits the left on  here to forget this mans relentless crusade  to destroy Gillard and ultimately the Labor party.

Huh?  Work from home?  What are you talking about?  Too much sauce?

BTW, I dislike him intensely, but others like him.

Name one Australian ex PM who was appointed to the UN in the Chairmans or other "high up" position.

He's have to work from home, nobody else would put up with his explosive temper and nasty rants. We all know how he just loves to belittle underlings.

We won't mention the foul language, all the world knows him for that, how he tried to speak mandarin and couldn't so he swore and insulted the language on film, no less, was there any end to the insult he heaped on China?

Maybe he and Obummer could partner up as the 2 worst leaders of a western country in history. He could salute Obummer to his hearts content,

This is not the analogy thread ad there is no similarity  to the topic. Deflection perhaps but not analogous to the topic.
