2010 Election Campaign Day 23 - I declare National Mark Latham Day!
The Australian : Shades of that aggressive Latham-Howard handshake
I always knew Mark Latham was a rabbit and this piece in Saturday's Granny Herald only confirms it:
"Mr Latham, who is producing a segment for the Nine Network's 60 Minutes program, approached Ms Gillard and asked why Labor had complained to the network about his presence.
A smiling Ms Gillard responded: "I don't know anything about that, Mark.
"If you want to work for Channel Nine, that's a matter for you."
Mr Latham then suggested his one-time Labor ally speak out against former prime minister Kevin Rudd for trying to sabotage her campaign.
"Have a dig at him," he told her.
But Ms Gillard merely laughed and wished him well with his journalistic endeavours.
An ALP spokesman later denied the party had made any complaint to the Nine Network.
The Nine Network had not responded to inquiries as to whether a complaint was made."
And like the bunny that he is, Latham (whose real beef was that Gillard had refused his interview request) deserves to find himself in the nation's stewpot garnished with onions and a fistful of parsley.
A few steel traps along the campaign trail should do the trick!
