Nelson admits strip visit as Rudd fallout continues …..

Defence Minister Brendan Nelson has admitted visiting a strip club when he was younger.

As Opposition Leader Kevin Rudd comes under fire for a night at a strip club in New York four years ago, Dr Nelson has admitted visiting one almost 30 years ago.

"I remember being at one when I was 20, in Adelaide," he told ABC radio in Adelaide.

"I suspect that there are many Australian men and an increasing number of women who have done so as well."

Prime Minister John Howard has refused to comment on Mr Rudd's visit.

Nelso Admits Strip Visit As Rudd Fallout Continues

------------------

elsewhere, Guy Runle writes …..

Of Glenn Milne, biffo & Babette

The News Ltd organisation was reeling today from revelations that ace reporter Glenn Milne had visited a ‘biff club’ in the company of other journalists while drunk.

‘Biff Clubs’ are well-known late night venues where journalists can go and punch people who annoy them, for a fee.

Milne apparently visited ‘Walkleys’ , a popular ‘biff’ venue, paying an unspecified amount of money to have an encounter with a popular podium performer known only as ‘Stephen’.

After Milne attempted to break the ‘no touching’ rule, he was asked to leave.

The revelations come just days after it came to light that Foreign Minister Alexander Downer had himself visited a ‘slip club’ and was asked to leave.

‘Slip clubs’ are venues where politicians go to make appalling political errors of judgment while performing ‘poll dancing’, in a desperate attempt to stimulate interest in a jaded electorate.

Mr Downer, who currently works under the name ‘Babette’ in a French maid costume at Goldfingers, is said to be one of the ‘slip club’s’ most frequent customers, and regularly enjoys sabotaging his own party’s electoral profile with dumb sophomoric political pranks.

Milne’s visit to the ‘biff club’ has been dismissed by News Ltd executives, who say that his credibility in writing moralising political articles will in no way be compromised by appearing like a drunken tool on national television.

Genuine journalists working at News Ltd were not available for comment today as they were living in a hole to hide their deep embarrassment.

The vast majority of the Australian electorate who’ve been to a bucks or hens night at some point were too busy laughing to offer a statement.

Gus: And, of course, Glenn Milne is one of John Howard’s admirers...

Coincidence

Of course, IT IS purely COINCIDENTAL that on the weekend, Kevin Rudd is exposed as having gone to a strip joint in New York — allegedly four years ago — and that on Monday — a day later — the PM Supremus Rattus Statedividus, releases his vision for the future — a vision that involve a bit of perverted hanky-panky between the States and the federal outfit... and we know he wants to be on top...

Thus today (Monday) while all and sundry serious journalist should be lifting the dirty doonas on the con tricks of the Prime Minister about to dismantle the federal system by using one of his most fiendish cunning devices — the same devious tactics he used to con the Australian public to go to war — thus today, most of the scribes are drooling about images of a relaxing Kevin Rudd with a colleague in THAT strip joint in New York... under the secret, watch-full eye of the Australian Embassy dedicated dirt bags who report to ASIO...

Thus the file gets stored under lock and key in one of the dirt bag agencies — probably near or at DFAT — suddenly gets placed strategically in the hands of a dung beetle journalist who would piss in his own pants with the pleasure of splashing the old news ON THE DAY BEFORE THE BIG "PLAN FOR THE FUTURE" By a PM — a PM magnanimous in his approach to the deed as "I don't talk about that"... as if it was beneath...

Not only that, Admiral Nelson is also implicating himself in having gone to a strip joint ± 20 years ago — not so much to relieve Rudd from the embarrassment but to create more distraction around the OUTRAGEOUS plans by the PM — that to usurp the states — when he himself lied to go to war in Iraq, lied on Medicare... lied on many many occasion... etc.. All the journos have been sucked in like babes... like the chooks (journos) that Jo BP was so famous for feeding everday...

COINCIDENCES? Pox! Dirt bags and... also the revival of Pauline in the week previous to the PM grand plans to strip the States from rights, like a pimp in a strip joint...

The Journos have lost all their senses...

 

 

She's not the only one...

SBS legend Kostakidis 'walks out'Tuesday August 21, 2007

Veteran newsreader Mary Kostakidis is believed to have walked out on SBS after nearly 20 years of presenting the public broadcaster's evening news bulletin.

Newspapers reports say Kostakidis stormed out of the newsroom a week and a half ago and has not returned, despite being only halfway through a three-year contract.

It's believed the 52-year-old network legend — who was part of the original management team that set up the Special Broadcasting Service in 1980 — has become disillusioned with changes to the World News bulletin.

---------------

Gus: Mary is not the only one disillusioned with the way NOOZ are run these days... The world News Bulletin used to be sharp concise and efficient... now it's a drag... Sportz are not NOOZ... Sport is entertainment. Sports are more often than not commercial ventures in which image and airtime are promoted by PR firms, like soap and jams. For those of us who know how to create advertising and public relation, we know definively that sports should never appear in a NOOZ booletin... apart from rare occasions. 

Mary, you're a gem. Too few people like you unfortunately... Keep the fight. And you're not the only one dis-whatever... I could use a naughty word here to describe the way I feel about the new format... which I only peruse from time to time when I feel I need to spew... Stan Grant is good, I admit that but the format stinks!... You're still the best, Mary... and see my cartoon done a few years ago...

Nuz denied

Kostakidis has not quit: SBS

SBS has denied that veteran TV newsreader Mary Kostakidis has left the network.

It has been reported that Kostakidis was frustrated by changes to the prime-time evening news bulletin and had quit.

Sources have told the ABC Kostakidis is not sick and has briefed lawyers on her dispute with the network.

But management says the newsreader, who joined SBS in 1980, is not well and has simply requested sick leave.

"Mary has informed SBS that she is unwell and has presented a doctor's certificate confirming this. Mary has requested sick leave which has been granted," an SBS spokesperson said.

-----------------

Gus: so we can't trust news reports any more... That proves my point above and above...

symptomatic

The problem with SBS and Mary Kostakidis is symptomatic of the Howard years... Honesty has been replaced with hubris... and everyone is expected to spin like Rattus top...
