]]> Comment on Kevin Rudd - masked hero or super dud? by American Pundit Fighting http://corkermag.com/2008/07/10/kevin-rudd-masked-hero-or-super-dud/#comment-8 American Pundit Fighting Sat, 19 Jul 2008 12:25:40 +0000 http://corkermag.com/blog/?p=26#comment-8 I'm not entirely sold on the Batman analogy... especially after watching the new Dark Knight movie. Who would play the nihilistic Joker in this scenario, John Howard? Bob Brown? When I think of Batman, I also don't think of optimism and altruism. Maybe Superman is a more fitting analogy. KRudd has the glasses and is quite the nerd, that's Clark Kent ticked off. He promises to save the day with an aura of optimism and good will, that's Superman covered. John Howard can play Lex Luthor. They are both bald and have wielded great power, some would argue harmfully. Luthor was also a President in the comics. Perhaps if you're not convinced with the look of Lex Luthor being analagous to Johnnie. We could look to Mister Mxyzptlk from the Superman universe - dead ringer I’m not entirely sold on the Batman analogy… especially after watching the new Dark Knight movie.

Since Nov 07, Rudd has been full of symbolic gestures like 20/20 - and of course his apology to Indigenous Australians "stolen" all those years ago. But Rudd didn't send Howard to hell in a handcart at the last election - the people did. And they may well do the same to Kevin if 'real issues' such as petrol prices, rising inflation and housing affordability continue to take an enormous toll on their lives. In the game of politics - these are the issues that win and lose you elections. I think it’s too early to say whether Rudd will deliver on the rhetoric.
