I AM bewildered why abysmal ex-Labor PM Paul Keating finds it necessary to make derogatory remarks about various notable personalities from time to time. This time it is Kevin Rudd, for whom I hold no brief.

Keating has again emerged from his dungeon and his only claim to fame is an extremely wide orifice which may or may not contain false teeth, and issue crude, rude and unjustified personal comments about the objects of his venom.

Why doesn’t this “scrap-heap” individual keep his mouth shut permanently – I’d willingly supply the glue? Nobody’s listening to Keating anymore, so please media paparazzi, don't go looking for a “scoop” from Keating.
