Andrew Bolt and Piers Ackerman

Andrew Bolt and Piers Ackerman, two of my least favourite writers, both have good columns this week.

Bolt's article about the backlash against the Sudanese is mostly right on the money: Link.

And Ackerman's personal attack on Kevin Rudd sums up a lot of what many people I know are feeling about him: Link.

I don't really buy his line that Rudd is worse than Howard, but I certainly have the feeling that he's no better. This all still leaves open the question of who has the better policies, and I just don't know what to think about that yet.
