Looks like the ABC is turning to Paul Keating to dent Tony Abbott. Apparently Rudd is not up to it. Want a good laugh? Then read on.

PAUL Keating today dismissed Tony Abbott as an “intellectual nobody” who he had regarded as the Coalition’s “resident nutter”…

I think this will back fire badly on the ALP. Keating is a greatly disliked figure, and it seems the ABC has turned to him to make the case against Abbott that Rudd seems unable to.

“(Malcolm) Turnbull had an articulated intelligent moderate thought-out conservative position. The fact is that Abbott does not have this.”

In other words, Abbott should just agree with the ALP and watch their election prospects dive. Under Turnbull the coalition had next to no chance of re-election. With Abbott they have a chance and by the virulent nature of Keating’s attack, the ALP and ABC recognise this and it scares them.
