What to do, what to do...

Gregory links to a news article that raises a bit of a ticklish question: should we, out of our affection and respect for the Australian people, make the sacrifice of letting Kevin Rudd stay in the U.S.? Or do we adopt the brutally cold attitude of "Meh, what have those Aussies done for us lately?" and give Kevin the boot?

"‘Donald Trump is the most destructive president in history’: US Ambassador Kevin Rudd scrubs anti-Trump comments from social media".

  1. Probably the best thing for both countries would be to ship him back to Australia.

    In six boxes.

  2. Apropos of nothing, Ed Morrisey at Hotair has a callback to Cumbawumba in a column today. And I recall how surprised I was to find that was a British band, because Tubthumping (aka "I Get Knocked Down") has to be the most Australian song by non-Ozzies ever.

    Anyway, send this Rudd guy back to Austria. And if he angrily complains once arriving in Vienna, shrug and say "What, there's a difference?"

  3. Rudd is a psycopathic arsehole who thinks he is the smartest person in every room he enters because he speaks a smattering of Mandarin. He was in line for being the worst Prime Minister of all time until Turnbull and Albanese gave him some close competition.
    Please keep him there for a while and maybe Donald could use him as a plaything for stress relief before squashing the nose pick.

  4. I admit I didn’t know Earwaxus Eaterus was Australia’s ambassador to the USA.

    1. Yes, I am surprised too. I well remember the merciless mocking he received, back in the glory days of Tim Blair's blog.

  5. If you folks could arrange for Kev to get halfway home across the waters, we'd take care of the other half.
    Maybe. We might be too busy that day.

  6. Yep, can't argue with that.

  7. Too right. Krudd's position is untenable.
    Best way is to do it via backchannels.
    A quiet word, unofficially, to the Oz govt to quietly remove him.

  8. We could confuse everyone and deport him to Austria.
