Beazley Expresses Sympathy For The Wrong Rove

Advertisements [?]

Federal Labor Leader Kim Beazley has attempted to express sympathy for Rove McManus, ahead of today's funeral for his wife Belinda Emmett.

But Mr Beazley has mistakenly called him "Karl Rove", who is the deputy chief of staff in the Bush Administration.

(snip)

"Today our thoughts and the thoughts of many, many Australians will be with KARL ROVE as he goes through the very sad process of burying his beloved wife," Mr Beazley said.

"And I just want him to know that my thoughts and the thoughts of my colleagues are very much with him today."

This sums up Beazley perfectly - he's utterly clueless. Seems as if he doesn't have any idea who
either one of the Roves is. The ABC even broadcast him saying it - he won't live this one down in a
hurry.

He's got to go - fast. We need a leader who knows which end is up.

:dunce:
