Rudd's seemingly flawless political run had to end somewhere and it did. In an article published in the Australian Bulletin Rudd's conspicuous night in New York was revealed. It could be Kevin Rudd's decision to attend a New York strip club that could cost him public votes, with feminist groups depicting it an exploitation of women, but yesterday majority of the public seemed quite bemused. Rudd's drunken antics at the Manhattan strip club have left staff describing him and fellow politician Tony Snowdown as "rowdy" and "snotty", yet Rudd claims to have had a complete memory blackout. He claims he has only been drunk twice in his life, his 35th birthday celebrations and and this night in New York. Owner Elliot Osher has said that while the two were demanding, ordering staff to bring them beers, they did not physically touch any of the exotic dancers and acted as complete gentlemen in the short period they stayed at the club. As a potential prime minister I find this quite amusing, and giving Rudd his due, he has by no means depicted himself to be perfect throughout his political campaign, his often quirky mishaps appealing to the public. This incident just simply depicts Rudd as a human and in no way can it be condemned a crime or immoral. He had a few too many drinks and ended up at strip club. Personally I think worse things have happened.References: The Australian Bulletin

If anything the whole Rudd and Strippers saga has gained him more votes from the Australian public. Everyone that I've spoken to about it, especially guys, seemed to have a new found respect for him. I have heard people that have been interviewed on the news and radio about the issue and the majority seemed to have found the whole situation funny more than anything. I personally think it makes Rudd's whole image more appealing as it reveals that like the rest of us, he's only human.
