the nebbish federal opposition leader, kevin rudd (previously profiled here), is the talk of the town today for going to a new york strip club (sorry, "exclusive gentleman's club"). this kind of thing would normally be received with boos in america and cheers in france. it isn't the shabbiness of the thing which offends, but the lame excuse offered in justification. "i'd been drinking," he squeaked in extenuation.am curious to see how this goes with the electorate. does this make him more interesting or more common? what will the puritanical left (women mostly) make of it?
i'm expecting a gigantic sniff of indifference.
i still remember how speedily feminists changed out of their principles, put on some makeup and a racy outfit, and rallied to bill clinton during his sexual harassment trials. that was awfully funny.
