Outrage as Prue MacSween calls PM Kevin Rudd a 'psychopath'

PRUE MacSween is at it again, this time calling the Prime Minister a "psychopath".

The former Celebrity Apprentice contestant slammed Kevin Rudd on a breakfast television program this morning saying, ``he is a con merchant, a caricature of a politician and he is snow-jobbing the electorate.''

She then continued to criticise the PM by saying he has not learnt anything from his previous stint in the top job.

``Let's just watch this psychopath and how it is going to unfold,'' she said on Sunrise.

``I am quite happy to own that. The man is a cartoon character of a proper politician and it's such a sad indictment on the quality and calibre of the people we have in politics.

``Leopards can't change their spots.''

MacSween was quickly criticised by Labor supporters on twitter to which she hit back posting, ``good to see all the Labor voters expressing outrage this morning! You will all wake up eventually."

More tweet troubles, Peter van Onselen, Sunday Telegraph, yesterday:

LABOR'S member for Bendigo, Steve Gibbons, used Twitter to label Kevin Rudd a psychopath during February's leadership showdown, only to cowardly deny the insult was aimed at Rudd when it so obviously was.

Not so, says Gibbons yesterday:

AS anyone can see the post doesn't refer to any particular person. The timing of the post was during the height of the Labor leadership battle and everyone -- and I mean everyone -- assumed I was referring to Rudd. Gee, why would they do that? Did I know that would be how it would be interpreted? I had a good idea. Did I call Rudd a psychopath? No I did not.

We report. You decide. Gibbons' original tweet, February 19:

ONLY a psychopath with a giant ego would line up again after being comprehensively rejected by the overwhelming majority of his colleagues.

It must be OK to label K Rudd as a psychopath. If one of his ALP colleagues says it what's the problem?

Rudd will lead us out of the wilderness.

There are two things the faceless men of the ALP got right.
Rudd was not fit to be PM
Gillard was not fit to be PM

Nice to see someone out there can see the Emperor has no clothes on, you are on the money Prue.

Sorry Bobby but Rudd couldn't lead a donkey to the water trough.

I had to Google this MacSween tart to see who she was.

"Weekend Sunrise and regular commentator Prue MacSween ... "

As far as I can see, she's an absolute nobody and the "breakfast television program" was Sunrise.

Prue MacSween and Sunrise?

meehhhh...I just don't believe anyone was outraged at this.

C'mon media - give me something a bit more spicy if you want to earn my outrage.

So an ordinary Australian isn't entitled to voice her opinion of Rudd because of the TV show she was on?

Prune McSwede is, was, and always will be an idiot.

When that cow opens her mouth, I close my ears.

Yet on this occasion she hit the nail on the head. Even one of Rudd's own MP's has described him in the same way.

And I suppose Celebrity Apprentice is playing on your TV.

What next? ACA, 60 Minutes?

A bit of talk-back radio in the afternoon?

Actually, my gender-challenged nincompoop, I refuse to watch any reality TV beyond MasterChef...

He may not be a psychopath... but KRuddy is definitely a SOCIOPATH

ALP now being led by a psychopath

I don't think it is a good thing - Labor need to stop Me Too-ing the Liberals.

Constant abuse worked when Ms Gillard was PM so why shouldnt it work with Mr Rudd ;D
