Hardly unbiased group, are they?

funny you say that pete... Penberthy gave rudd a huge rap in 2007.. so much so I was turned off him..even now I can still see his words encouraging everyone to vote labor.. it was a complete turnaround.... and as this article says.. Penberthy finds rudd quite charming......one of the few...as it is most of what is said we already know about..

you mention Jones being bigoted.. have you ever listened to Carlton??? by any chance. or that Addams man..I think you will find both sides have their heros and villains..

If Rudd has Aspergers, then he must be some kind of savant. He was dux of his school, is fluent in Mandarin, graduated from university with first class honours in Asian Studies, defeated the second longest government in Australia's history, and has been PM of this country twice.

I would tend to think of him more as some kind of genius.

And everything he's done or said would be lauded from the roof-tops if Rudd
had been a Lib, or if their leader had said/done the same...

Righties, thy name is hypocrite...

grooooooooooooooooooooooan.... what the!!!! Cheesy

I dont see dozens of voices in that article, are you seeing things? Despite which as a self proclaimed expert psychologist you should be aware that there is consdierable debate as to whether Aspergers is an actual verifiable condition.

are you really that stupid or are you going to pretend that there aren't dozens of members of the current Labor Caucus that Hates Rudds gut? Does everything have to be spelled out for you EVERY TIME for a message to get thru?

at 54/46 coalition's way I doubt you will find any 'panic' there!

Then why is it completely personal BS trying to smear him instead of talking about policy etc?

SOB

Because many people look at Rudd and see some very serious, very debilitating signs of mental illness which should disqualify him from the job.

And their qualifications are...???

Non-existent?

Hmmm, thought so.

asking questions and then answering them yourself is also a sing of mental illness. You should get yourself checked out.

You are probably unaware - as you are unaware of so much these days - that most sociopaths and psychopaths are actually very intelligent and very successful. Right up until the point they murder their families and the girl next door.

While rejecting the opinions of alan Jones on pretty much everything is more than fair, rejecting the other two is not. And when you line them up with the opinions of virtually the entire Labor Caucus and anyone else who has had the misfortune to work for him it is almost proof positive.

Rudd is a seriously dysfunctional person with some substantial mental health issues of which megalomania is just one. The response from him after he is thrashed at the next election will be revealing just as it was when Keating - also a massive egotist - lost and spent the week in bed refusing to leave the Lodge.

He certainly must be hell to work with. I believe both he and Abbott have head problems.

God grant me the patience to accept the things I cannot change, the courage to change the things I can and, above all, the wisdom to tell the difference.

actually according to people who know both leaders up close and personal, Abbott is a charming and likeable person while Rudd is... well we know what people think of him! So whay do you ahev to pretend otherwise?

And you are becoming more abusive and offensive by the day, and not just towards me.

Time you pulled up, I think.
