What is it about Sarah Palin? Not only has she been successful in attracting the support of two extremely wealthy and powerful old men in Senator John McCain and Rupert Murdoch, at the other end of the scale she also enjoys the support of just about every Redneck in America.

News reports would have us believe that she has banked around $12 million since being plucked from relative political obscurity in Alaska in 2008, to become the most unlikely Vice Presidential candidate in living memory.

Meanwhile nine years on, Australian troops in constant danger, remain trapped in the corrupt and hellish environment that is Afghanistan, and for what? Both the Government and the Opposition need to tell the Americans that they are wrong about Afghanistan. A good sensible ally would – and should.

By John ⋅ June 24, 2010 ⋅ One comment

Mr Rudd’s one man band approach to leadership, failure to accept responsibility for program implementation mistakes, policy flip flops, ongoing personal anger management problems, and his contribution to what has become a dispirited public service, meant that Rudd’s failure as a leader has been the main reason for his political fall from grace.
