 -=> Quoting Dave Drum to Glen Jamieson <=-

 GJ> I wonder if our Prime Minister, Kevin Rudd (sometimes abbreviated to
 GJ> KRudd) received that treatment when he arrived the other day to attend
 GJ> the meeting of top 20 economies in Washington.  He had been accused
 GJ> here of making slighting remarks about your present leader.

 DD> Political leaders get different treatment than the hoi-polloi. You
 DD> surely know that. As to KRudd "making slighting remarks about your
 DD> present leader" if that were a jailable offence more than half the
 DD> world would be in jail.   Bv)= 

That particular comment was only brought up by the opposition in order
to score political points.  It was noted that your pres appeared to be
less cordial in his greeting to Ruddy than to other world leaders.  The
fact that Rudd and the Chinese leader (Hu?) chatted away at length in
Mandarin and GWB couldn't understand them would not have helped.

If you are familiar with the old, Belgian cartoon book character of
"Tin-tin", you would know what our man looks like.

 DD> ... "Australia, Australia, Australia, Australia, we love you!  Amen!"

Thankyou.  (Bows)  Today the new movie, "Australia" has its premiere in
Sydney and Darwin.  As it is supposedly situated in the Northern
Territory, where Sir Sydney Kidman used to be the cattle king
generations ago, it is fitting that one of his descendants of the same
name is a star in the movie.
