Kevin .07

Is it just me or does everyone feel pretty disinterested in Kevin Rudd’s visit to a strip club?

I’m not a big fan of strip clubs. I think they're pretty skanky and not incredibly respectful of women. I also suspect a lot of blokes who go to strip clubs wouldn’t like their daughters working there, being leered at by old drunk blokes…

So I’m not a big fan.

However, I think it's possible for people to have too much to drink and go a little off the rails.

Am I glad that Kevin Rudd has had too much to drink at least twice in his life? I am actually.
And not just because I like to get loaded…but because I don’t like my leaders too squeaky clean.

I don’t judge leaders on minor moral indescretions. Bill Clinton, Peter Garrett smoking pot, when John Howard was accused of sitting next to a porn king at a liberal party fundraiser – I couldn't have cared less. Stuff happens, everyone can make a mistake – it’s how you handle that mistake that matters.

I don’t want to be like the US where politicians are forced to lie or behave like monks to qualify for public office. I like my leaders with a little life experience.

Having said I don’t care, that doesn't mean I don't think it's funny. Will I know Kev as Kevin Rude from now on? Absolutely...What about Kevin .07? Hilarious! Kevin Stud? Stop, I'm getting a stitch.....
