The Great Illusionist
February 6th, 2010
Easily the best critique of Kevin Rudd has been published by Spectator, care of Tom Switzer. He exposes Rudd’s two faced hypocrisy. In his desperate attempts to be all things to all people Rudd ends up being nothing, other than a man obsessed with his own power and influence I suppose.
What Adlai Stevenson once said of his old nemesis Richard Nixon could also be said of Kevin Rudd: ‘This is a man of many masks. Who can say they have seen his real face?’
I believe he doesn’t have a real face. It seems he holds no core believes or convictions beyond himself.
The point here is that Rudd is an opportunist of such proportions that the only thing that exceeds his reach is his grasp….
Looking at Rudd’s political career since 1998, it is also difficult to identify anything he seems genuinely to believe other than his own political success.
On nearly every issue of substance Rudd has shifted his position, based on what he has said and what he has ended up doing.
