Kevin 'hearts' Barack.

The only national newspaper in Australia is the Murdoch-owned Australian, so you can bet editorial staff compete for scoring the best cheap shots at progressives. Feast your eyes on the way a crafty Australian staff writer figured out how to label Australian Prime Minister Kevin Rudd and President Barack Obama as 'soul mates':
The US President has made much of his rapport with the Prime Minister after their first face to face talks in Washington. Reports of the meeting carried around the world have described the pair as political "soul mates".
One must read to the bottom of the article to find the scapegoated source of said 'reports':
"They are ideological soul mates," said Alan Dupont, director of the Centre for International Security Studies at the University of Sydney.
