When "Scores-gate" broke open, it didn't affect Rudd's personal
popularity one iota. If anything, it improved it. Want substantiation?
Just look at the polls.
If you want a claim that is impossible to substantiate, take the ony by
an "anonymous diplomat" that he was chucked out of Scores. This is
contradicted by all the witnesses who were there, including the
nightclub's owner. So I'm afraid it's just wishful thinking on your part.
