On a recent trip to the U.S.A.,  Prime Minister Kevin Rudd was invited to address a major gathering of the American Indian Nations in Kitimat, B.C., due to his experiences in handling the Australian Indigenous situation inAustralia.

He spoke for almost an hour on his ideas for increasing every First Nation'spresent standard of living.

At the conclusion of his speech, the tribes presented the Prime Minister with a plaque inscribed with his new

The proud Rudd then departed with his entourage, waving to the crowd as heleft.

A news reporter later asked the chiefs how they came to select the new namegiven to Rudd.

They explained that Walking Eagle is the name given to a bird so full of ****, it can no longer fly!
