interesting/humorous if it isn't actual - I don't know either way.

  No matter what side of the AISLE you're on, THIS is FUNNY and VERY 
telling!
It just all depends on how you look at same things.

Judy Rudd an amateur genealogy researcher in southern Queensland 's, was
doing some personal work on her own family tree. She discovered that Prime
Minister Kevin Rudd great-great uncle, Remus Rudd, was hanged for horse
stealing and train robbery in Melbourne in 1889. Both Judy and Kevin Rudd
share this common ancestor.



The only known photograph of Remus shows him standing on the gallows at the
Melbourne Gaol:
On the back of the picture Judy obtained during her research is this
inscription: 'Remus Rudd horse thief, sent to Melbourne Gaol 1885, escaped
1887, robbed the Melbourne-Geelong train six times. Caught by Victoria
Police Force, convicted and hanged in 1889.'

So Judy recently e-mailed Prime Minister Rudd for information about their
great-great uncle. Remus Rudd:
Believe it or not, Kevin Rudd's staff sent back the following biographical
sketch for her genealogy research:

"Remus Rudd was famous in  Victoria during the mid to late 1800s . His
business empire grew to include acquisition of valuable equestrian assets
and intimate dealings with the Melbourne-Geelong Railroad.
Beginning in 1883, he devoted several years of his life to government
service, finally taking leave to resume his dealings with the railroad.
In 1887, he was a key player in a vital investigation run by the Victoria
Police Force. In 1889, Remus passed away during an important civic function
held in his honour when the platform upon which he was standing collapsed."
NOW That's how it's done, Folks!

That's real POLITICAL SPIN.
