But Foreign Minister Alexander Downer dismissed Labor's new website as "trivialising" politics.

"Mr Rudd is very good at stunts," Mr Downer said, suggesting this latest effort "will reflect very badly on him", reinforcing the perception that "he's clever with stunts and very short on substance".

In response, Labor emailed to its mailing list the infamous picture of Mr Downer wearing high-heels and stockings.

Kevin Rudd has been spending too much time on 4chan, Y/Y?

My first thought when I read this (after I quit laughing) was that this was such a classic fandom flame war.

The second was wondering if the Downer picture had been macro'd.
