    But if she wasn't responsible for giving him a platform to be one on national television, who the hell is?

    Let me get this straight, as it were: besides not being allowed to record politicians when they talk in public, are we now supposed to not allow them to go on scheduled TV appearances if they look like they might make fools of themselves? Is there anything else we should do to preserve their precious image? Tell them they've got something on their chin? Wipe their arses? You need to give us further instruction.

    Yo G, let me fix your syntax:

    See, I keep saying we don't need an edit button.

    I'm in the process of designing a new widget that makes Russell come to your place and do the housework. Stay tuned!

    Ohariu, though ...

    Oh, they dropped the ball there, no question. And there's no guarantee that next time Dunne won't win the seat comfortably - think Peters in 2002 vs. 1999. Still, one hopes there's a lesson learnt there.

    Nor do I know why I should be expected to use human-readable syntax. Apparently.

    And... I'm with Craig on this one, we were discussing the very same on the Fundy Post a few days ago. Labour doesn't have a strong history of helping its allies even when the stakes are much higher (see Harre in Waitakere). Not clear to me why it should be expected of the small party should roll over even when it doesn't increase the number of MPs of the centre left in Parliament, and could hurt its list vote due to weak campaigning in the electorate.

    It all seems to emanate from Tim Ellis

    I think this tends to underline my point about the the way she is oddly vilified.

    Soooo... any truth to the much passed around notion that she went around saying that Roche had conceded to her, when it wasn't the case? If true, I'd find that a lot more damning that any other charge against the woman.

  • Hard News: Congratulations, Mr Key,

    I'm pretty sure there are lots of people who would not like to be judged for the sins of their fathers -- or anyone else they have the misfortune to be related to thanks to the genetic crap shoot.

    Oh, goody. Can we dissolve the Catholic Church and confiscate its properties then? I call Raphael's rooms at the Vatican.

    Who's seen The Wrong Trousers?

    For a while all that my oldest son wanted for breakfast was "cracking toast".
