The Australian Prime Minister has been called this in private circles for quite some time it seems, but those saying such are not his political opponents, rather his colleagues, ministers diplomats associates etc. (one wonders just how so many people know how to assess an actual psychopath - sub-criminal. If they're correct then that means that a lot of people are getting "clued up" & fast. That, is good news.)
I totally disagree with the comment of the anthropologist in the piece though. "They're often easy to spot" he says. Huh? He seems to get the literature but he's muddying the waters by saying that as plenty will be trigger happy with the "new fad" of labeling someone you dislike a psychopath.
The best of us still need a fair bit of info to properly assess this & it needs to be unbiased & from a wider field when speaking of those in the public eye. Here's the link: http://mobile.news.com.au/national-news/nsw-act/kevin-rudd-hero-or-psychopath/story-fnii5s3x-1226694584192
