'Hey, knucklehead'

Searching online here and there for this and that, as you do when you've got more pressing commitments and are an old hand at avoidance behaviour, I just stumbled on a wonderfully prescient five-year-old post by Ken Parish, now of Club Troppo, thus:

It seems the gloves are off in the war to decide who replaces Simon the Unlikeable as federal Labor leader. Genteel Labor foreign affairs spokesperson Kevin Rudd (who I thought was very impressive on the Nine Network's Sunday program a couple of days ago) appears to have leaked to Janet Albrechtsen (of all people) an email sent to him by the distinctly un-genteel Mark Latham, in which Latham addressed Rudd as "Hey, knucklehead". I can see this getting very entertaining.

    No offence to Ken, but a shortly following senetce is :

    Anyway, if Iraq turns into a protracted bloodbath (which I think is unlikely)

    Heh, prescience does have a habit of blinking on and off like that.

    Damn prescience. Bloody hindsight never does that.

    Yes, I thought I'd leave that bit out. You can't foretell everything.
