rudd deluded

Julie Bishop has described Rudd as a deluded with self importance to the extent it is embarrassing and pathetic.

She sited his over the top willingness to place himself in the centre of global issues while remaining silent on domestic issues that they have failed to resolve.

On the global front Rudd has called for an an asia pacific union without consulting other Asian leaders, called for taking a blowtorch to OPEC, claimed he would take Japan to the international court on whaling, in Kyoto Rudd proposed the creation of the "International Commission on Nuclear Non-Proliferation and Disarmament"... and now a world leading clean coal initiative.

On the home front we have been left with a whole series of "watch" programs.
