Political Post.... No, not really

Behind the scenes of the election when in New York, Kevin Rudd would always visit his
favourite strip joint.

(He said it helped him forget things.)

But every time he walked in, one of the girls would call out,
"Two hundred bucks, and I'm yours!" 

"Five bucks!"  Rudd would fire back with characteristic wit, just to shut her up.

Over the years this exchange between him and the same girl became a bit of a ritual.  
She'd yell, "Two hundred bucks!" and he'd respond, "Five bucks!" 

Then, on one recent visit to New York, Julia Gillard accompanied Rudd to his favourite strip joint.

As they approached the place, Rudd braced himself for "the usual offer" --
Julia would obviously wonder what it was all about.

He figured he'd better have a darn good explanation for her. 

As he and Julia walked in, Rudd tried very hard to avoid the dancer's eyes.

But sure enough, she spotted him. And she yelled out:

"See! That's what you get for five bucks!"
