For crying out loud

I don't know. Is Kevin Rudd's midair hissy fit such an important piece of news to the Australian public that the good people at Sydney Morning Herald and Daily Telegraph have to shove it down our throat? What is wrong with the Prime Minister throwing a tantrum? If the bloody air hostie cannot take the oral heat, she should just get another job, or spit into Rudd's special meal, or go jump, or whatever. Do something about it. Cry? Is that professionalism? You would think these aircrew are made of sterner stuff, or if not, trained to be so. Painting them as teary damsels is not very reassuring. I mean can we rely on these crying babies if heaven forbid we find ourselves in a mid-air situation where we are told to assume the brace positions? Get a bloody grip, girl.
