I'm pretty sure nobody called him "bastard" again.
Guillaume was a tough and resilient man, smart and wily, but so too was his adversary, King Harold II. No worthy historian should underestimate the value of papal blessings when realms revise.
Yesterday an ambitious bloke called Saint Kevin (Aussie irony that approximates to 'bastard') left his dominion to flick off to New York and clear his prime ministerial ambitions with the patriarch of today's Anglosphere, Murdoch II.
'Tis a well beaten path that Kevvie le Heavy troddeth; the carbon footprints of Margaret Thatcher, Tony Blair and George W. Bush can't be too hard to miss. As a punter our fellow has form; so did Rupert give Rudd his papal banner? :::[SMH]
Media Mogul Rupert Murdoch has endorsed Labor leader Kevin Rudd, saying he would make a good Australian prime minister.
Mr Rudd met for a one-hour private meeting with Mr Murdoch at the News Corporation's New York headquarters today, but the meeting was extended when the pair decided to have dinner together at a local restaurant.
When I was in sales I would always try to schedule my most important meeting for 11 am, just on the off-chance that my prospect enjoyed food. With this life lesson satisfactorily
Channel Seven reported that when asked if Mr Rudd would make a good prime minister, Mr Murdoch replied "Oh, I'm sure."
I would love to see how the bookmakers odds changed after His three words. So
Mr Rudd has met with US government officials and business leaders and yesterday addressed the prestigious left-wing thinktank, The Brookings Institution.In his wide-ranging speech on the Australia-US alliance, Mr Rudd urged the United States to ratify the Kyoto protocol, and said the economic potential of the relationship with China for both Australia and the US was great.
The Kyoto Protocol runs to 2012, but we two countries have been the hold-outs to date
I'm pretty sure no one will call him 'Saint Kevin' again, definitely after December.

What really bugs me about Murdoch is that he will just sail through all this with his hands unbloodied.
We might DREAM of getting Bush, Blair and Howard behind bars one day (yeah right) but nobody even DREAMS that the big time war profiteers like Murdoch will ever be forced to repay their ill-gotten gains.
Perhaps the best we can hope for is that the NEXT generation of politicians learn from Murdoch and are able to execute a quick volte-face whenever harsh realities demand it. This current mob has no idea.

I just think murdoch has the world's best toy and he is not afraid to take it out and play.
