rudd showing off?

so kevin rudd's a showoff now? he does an interview with chinese tele in chinese and lexy downer has got his nose out of joint. sounds to me like someone's feeling the heat of an impending election loss and is a bit tetchy. i wonder what language mr downer would expect an english speaking chinese diplomat to use if he was doing an interview with a mainstream australian tele channel? thank goodness it's looking likely that this clown is on his way to obscurity!
