#1 "Rudd has promised not to make any policy changes that could harm economic growth, and is trying to paint Howard as out of touch on new-age issues such as global warming and Internet broadband."

Let's play "Spot the Contradiction!," boys and girls!

#2 Rudd: bookish, middle aged diplomat, schoolmarmish prude who likes to get drunken lap dances, himself, on a UN trip to New York, and get so drunk he "can't remember"

but hey, that shouldn't stop him from questioning the regular Aussies' morals and norms

#3 Tim Blair:
" January 24: Labor leader Kevin Rudd challenges Prime Minister John Howard to a debate on education.

February 14: Rudd challenges Howard to a debate on Iraq.

August 31: Rudd challenges Howard to a debate on industrial relations.

September 10: Rudd declares himself happy to debate Mr Howard whenever he wants to debate me.

Well, OK. As South Park political philosopher Chef once observed: If you get served and you serve them back, then its on! And on it definitely is:

Prime Minister John Howard wants to debate Labor leader Kevin Rudd just one week into the election campaign.

He is proposing the live audience debate take place in the Great Hall of Parliament House next Sunday, moderated by Sky News political editor David Speers.

This campaign might be more fun than we thought. "
