Obviously, everyone exhausted their indignation on the previous piece. There are real things happening out there - surely?

There’s a catalogue of mild/wild contradictions to the Ruddster and this is just another revealing his fallibility and raw ambition. The whining is bogus. Secondly my guess the source is one of the pie loving twins KR and/or JM? They as much as promised.

KR met BB in 2005 on 3 occasions when members of WA Labour government were banned from such meetings. Friendly emails were subsequently exchanged and KR agreed to a further dinner with other influential WA identities & then rescinded. It is newsworthy!

Yes its a spoof. But oh how some comments suggest that Great Leader may not even be joked about. How many miles of rubbish and spoof were written about Howard - I guess it depends on your leanings as to what is acceptable and worthy of a laugh.

This spoof email is the most stupid (and unfair) item I have read in my three,maybe four, years of taking crikey.
And, while I am in the mood, I think your policy of using *** in words that have a sexual connotation is infantile.

Oh bollocks, Christian! Rudd is hardly the first or last politician to fell obliged at least the possibility of supping with the devil. At least he seems to have correctly judged the length of his spoon.

James, it would be funny if it was incisive about something worth reporting. This Burke dinner thing is so old hat and such a puerile attempt to discredit Rudd that it makes the Opposition and anyone commenting on it look desperate.

If you have something of importance to impart could you please do so without indulging in this laboured, unfunny piece of fluff masquerading as journalism. It would also appear as if the writer is ashamed of the piece. Unless WS is his real name.
