KRudd - not the messiah.

[Black Orchid]

First glance at Google news this morning saw a whole string of pictures of Kevvy pulling ridiculous faces. The red headed clown is gone but now we have to deal with the court jester. He thinks he's a celebrity and so cute and funny when, in fact, he just comes across as an egotistical prat.

[OiOiOi]

He went to Indonesia and made Abbott look out of step on the world wide refugee problem.

Surely you jest

You don't think he refugee problem is world wide?

50+ million displaced!!!

STOP THE BOATS!!!

[OiOiOi]

The Ruddster is back. Sadly But true

The poles are lifting for the ALP. sadly But true

He went to Indonesia and made Abbott look out of step on the world wide refugee problem. rubbish Awesome response

Tony’s been left in the starters stall – call an election, call an election, call an election we hear him say – and little else. Funny but even those die hard labor supporters I know most still won't be voting for kevvy, so there is hope after all.

well that takes care off all the ALP people you know

Australia has an illegal immigrant problem caused solely by Krudd and the ALP and fueled by fuckwits who sob "won't anyone think of the poor refugees"

You might like being taken for an idiot and handing out taxpayer billions because of kevvy opening up the borders but I can assure you the majority dont and the only thing they despise more than queue jumping illegal immigrants stealing their way in the back door is numpties who try and excuse it as a "worldwide problem" or "they have a right to seek asylum"

Rudd just can't help himself when it comes to adoration

POPE Kevin. It has a nice ring to it.

One wonders if that's Kevin Rudd's ultimate goal. The adoration, the worship, the scores of faithful lining up to get a glimpse.

Blink and you might have thought an event at The Lodge in Canberra yesterday was a dry run for when Kevin Rudd - who now attends an Anglican Church but was raised Roman Catholic - takes the top job at The Vatican.

The nation's Prime Minister had more than 100 ambassadors and top diplomats lining up outside The Lodge for a chance at small chat and to shake the hand of a man resurrected.

The "real Kevin" was back. And his ego on full display as the line grew and ambassadors braved the Canberra cold on the gravel outside The Lodge.

As The Australian's Brendan Nicholson eloquently put it Mr Rudd became a walking, talking atlas.

As he and wife Therese Rein greeted their visitors who were invited over for an afternoon tea, Mr Rudd thrived. He was in his element.

"How are our friends in Kiev," Mr Rudd asked.

"Give my regards to those in Tehran. It would be good to keep in contact given the challenges we face."

"Say hi to Xanana and give Kirsty a big kiss from me," he said to the representative from East Timor."

And he received as much praise back.

Labor powerbroker Graham Richardson said on breakfast television this morning that Kevin Rudd's ego was "getting out of control … again".

He may not be too far from the truth.

Yesterday's events looked like something one would see at Buckingham Palace or at a rock concert (perhaps he's been taking tips from his Instagram friend One Direction band member Harry Styles).

It's been just 17 days since Kevin Rudd took back the nation's top job after three long years in waiting.

He claimed he had changed, he claimed he would be more consultative, he claimed things would be different this time around.

But can a leopard really change its spots?

Mr Rudd was catapulted back into the nation's top job in order to give the Labor Party a fighting chance at the next election.

Commentators, including Mr Richardson, say that if Mr Rudd continues his tour of self-worship and a multitude of overseas trips he risks losing the momentum Labor now has.

Kevin Rudd is a great campaigner and has achieved much in his political career. But he loves power, he loves adoration, he loves media spotlight.

It may be his undoing … again.

"Tour of self worship". That's it in a nutshell.

Next he will be off to Hollywood to film "Kev the movie"

You do know that illegal immigrants usually arrive by plane, yes?

But it is a world wide problem. Don’t you think 50+ million displaced people is a world wide problem? Interesting!!

What back door? You do understand Australia has commitments to help people seeking asylum, yes?
