No, this isn’t a politically motivated rant against Kevin Rudd – but just a mention of a funny video. You can always rely on the uncensored and uncontrollable world that is the Internet to dig up the dirt on anyone who doesn’t want their dirt dug up.
Take a look at the video, and watch a much younger Rudd on the backbench picking his ear… and then eating whatever it was that came out!
There’s your election campaign mudslinging fix for the day. Not that this really changes much in the way of who is (and isn’t) fit to lead our country through the next three years.
I think it’s quite funny that someone would spend the time looking through old parliamentary recordings to find something like this! Too much time on their hands, I say.

I think it’s more likely that somebody kept that clip because of what Kevin Rudd did, possibly for the sheer entertainment value.
Of course the fun thing about backbenchers is that one day they might be frontbenchers, and these videos are invaluable political fodder.
I’m currently trying to track down a radio recording of Peter Costello singing Abba’s “Money, Money, Money” live to air a few years back.
That’s so funny to catch that, but also disgusting to think of it
He is disgusting. A feral..I will not like Australia as much if he is PM
What a wierdo – who would vote for this guy? He is a really strange guy have you noticed the way he moves his hands and the way he shakes peoples hands – dead fish stuff in my opinion.
That he didn’t even look at what he was about to place in his fish like mouth tells you that this is a habit he’s cultivated for years.
But wait for it, fellow Nambourite Wayne Swan will volunteer to eat your if asked politely.
But wait, isn’t he also the guy who got drunk in New York and apparently embarrassed himself at a strip club – although he didn’t actually know if he had embarrassed himself because he didn’t remember any of it? Yep, real leadership material.
it’s obvious he eats his own crap my fear is he’s going to try and feed it to the rest of us if he gets elected
