Weirdness

It's all go with Australia's favourite insane ex-Opposition Leader!

What's with this quote from Kevin Rudd (aka the Shadow Minister for Pacific Islands)?

In between a generally sensible response to ABC Radio AM on Mad Mark's latest raving, we get:

KEVIN RUDD: Alex, I was very close to my Mum. She brought me up from the age of 11, she died the day before the election, she was buried a few days before.

Either the incompetent ABC stuffed up a radio transcript, or Rudd just admitted to burying his mother alive....

Meanwhile, Latham's mentor goes on to grander pursuits: "Whitlam named Bird of Paradise"

This is a goldmine. Linked, and on A Western Heart as well.

The transcription is accurate, you can listen to the audio from that page.

I think he should have ended that sentence with, "a few days before that meeting".
