Quote: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."

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.
