Rudd Tries to Be Relevant Again



More guys in suits trying to play soccer.

As part of Australian Prime Minister Kevin Rudd's neverending attempt to become relevant on the world stage, he stopped in Switzerland following a trip to Berlin before becoming a hanger-on at the G8 Summit in Italy.

This time, it was to meet with FIFA President Sepp Blatter to lobby for Australia's 2018/2022 World Cup bid. I totally support the Aussie bid for 2022, but he looks just ridiculous kissing ass like this on the world stage.

And, this kind of crap will continue until FIFA chooses the 2018/2022 host nations in December 2010. Ugh.

Can we please just agree on one thing? Please, please no more dorks in suits trying to play soccer for yet another photo-op.

How many times did he say "Fair shake of the sauce bottle, mate?" as he was doing it?
