What is it with Labour politicians eating their bodily effluvia?

News reaches me that the the leader of the Australian Labour Party, Kevin Rudd has been caught on video sitting behind the person speaking in their Parliament whilst picking his ear and eating the excavated earwax, you can see the video here.

Do you think this will damage his chances of winning the upcoming Australian elections? Well maybe not, after all this



didn't seem to stop Gordon Brown becoming Prime Minister, albeit without an election.
