rudd called ban ki moon -spanky banky

is he for real.....how unprofessional....
think this book by labor supporter Barrie Cassidy has more explosive stuff in it.....apparently 80% of labor ministers threw rudd out....they thought they would win the election, turmoil later when it was hung.....lots more snippets on the radio this morning....
(I note rudd is back in your face, on tv or radio, every 5 minutes, has an opinion on everything...as if he is still the pm....
expect all will be very, very quiet this week on the murray basin subject....)

extract only.....
FOREIGN Minister Kevin Rudd and his office privately referred to UN Secretary General Ban Ki-moon as ?Spanky Banky? according to a new book.


Mr Rudd indiscreetly revealed his nickname for the respected international policy maker to journalists during a visit to Hokkaido Japan for G8 talks, just as he famously privately referred to the Chinese as ?raft***ers? after the collapse of Copenhagen climate talks.

ABC TV?s Barrie Cassidy writes in his new book Party Thieves, published today by Melbourne University Press that Mr Rudd also demanded the man he replaced as Labor leader, Kim Beazley, who is now a US ambassador, organise meetings for him after he was dumped as leader.

These included talks with US Secretary of State Hilllary Clinton and the UN secretary general.
