Causing quite a stir abroad.

Oppn wants AFP probe into leak of 'Bush gaffe'

The Federal Opposition wants the Australian Federal Police to investigate how a private telephone conversation between Prime Minister Kevin Rudd and US President George W Bush became the subject of a newspaper article.

The article reported that in a conversation about the global financial crisis, Mr Bush asked Mr Rudd what the G20 forum was.

US officials denied Mr Bush asked that question and Mr Rudd's office has also denied that version of events.

Mr Rudd's office has declined to comment any further on the incident.

(end snip)

OK, so who's taking bets that the WH 'leaked' in order to embarrass the Aussie leader who beat his BFF John Howard? Or is the idiot showing his true capacity?

1. Both US officials and Rudd's office denied the conversation took place.
Yet, they want an investigation on how it got leaked.

DUH!!!

2. Yeah, that's the part that got me, too.
"This never happened! Now find out who did it!"
