Lying liar update

In April, Tim Blair alerted us to a cringe-worthy moment at the G20 Conference when Kevin Rudd took umbrage at President Obama's description of the President of Brazil as the most popular politician on Earth.

Flummoxed that his own messiah status was being overlooked, Rudd attempted to clarify by saying, "the world's most popular long term politician..." by which time the assembled crowd were ignoring him.

Now we have this Rudd-quote from the 7.30 Report:
"I do not pay attention to opinion polls when they've been up; I do not pay attention to opinion polls now..."
