WE ALL have bad-hair days, but Prime Minister Kevin Rudd is facing suggestions he did his block when his hairdryer failed to work during a quick visit to Australian troops in Afghanistan.
Nationals backbencher John Cobb, who was recently in Afghanistan on a defence visit, told The Age the troops were full of stories of a Prime Ministerial temper tantrum.
"Basically, he couldn't hook his hairdryer up and he chucked a temper tantrum or something," Mr Cobb said yesterday. "If it's true, it's amazing that you'd have a tantrum over your make-up when people are doing serious things over there."
But the Prime Minister's spokesman fired a rocket back in response, accusing Mr Cobb of peddling fictions created by a Liberal Party "dirt unit".
Mr Cobb's claims were "laughable, ridiculous and untrue", Mr Rudd's spokesman said. "If Mr Turnbull wants to practise gutter politics he should have the spine to use his own name, not the good name of our troops."

Not only that, but the US taxpayer will be guaranteeing GM warranties on cars sold in Mexico. I assume that include much of Latin/Sourth America. The Canadian gov will be picking up their GM/Chrysler warranties.
