"At the risk of offending our host, I'd really like it if a centre-right version of PAS were to start up but I can't see it happening."
I see "this" as centre, so sometimes it veers either way, that's why its a decent read. facts are fun.

and suggest "the left" go fuck itself."
or a deep breath and a prayer for duncan. I thought you were a Christian?

"Reading the latest comments, it appears that I, too, am now an enemy of the left...
Sigh ..."yeh, but its not all sharing the love here, take craigs first comment.

"Steve:Pardon me if I pull out the world’s smallest violin. "You get back what you put in. I think the rape smear was poor but so is davids consistent abuse of stats to scare the shit out of our fellow citizens.

"What are the positive reasons for Labour hanging on to Peters?"
I think this election maybe all about the unknown , uncontactable and unpolled voter and about how big that group has grown since the last
election, ie literally the people who don't have landlines.Labour seem to be courting an invisible voter because on official polling its hard to see Winston getting seats. They may have also felt
that the likes of Rodney Hide talking about smashing privelidge is just a little too hard to stomach even given Winnies self made mess. -
A great piece Russell. It would easier to damn Labour if it wasn't for the shocking state of our politics generally. I'd love John "new guy on the political block" Key to be a breath of fresh air but I don't think he's doing the breathing for that grand old party , we know all about the air from his shadow front bench, it's stale , even more than even a third term Labour government.
Change you can believe in?

"I just watched Friday nights show, with Tony Blair as guest. It was brilliant and yet surreal."
Yep, that was the best interview I've ever seen of a world leader. Blair
was struggling and stewart was just asking him quite simple questions that "real"journalists are terrified of as they may come across as, gasp "combative" and "not polite".John Stewart should really run a presidential debate.

"Republican Idol "
That's just perfect.

"John Campbell looks somewhat dazzled by his new, ultra-bright lighting set up as well. HD can be so cruel."
No one can beat "The Daily Show" set, It's easily the best looking newsdesk in the world, others should just copy it.

"But what's smacking my gob is that McCain (who should know better) and Palin (who I doubt knows anything that isn't written on a 5x7 file card for her) are running a campaign that is full of reflexive and habitual lies .'
Everything that's happening in america politically or economically
had been predicted for ages. Right wing parties (lets not waste the word conservative on them) EVERYWHERE are a cringing joke surviving on the oxygen of a fear of real change. They are fear parties . -
"New Zealanders prefer to abuse, either anonymously on selected blogsites, talkback radio or via email those they may never have met.."
whilst i prefer the to do it from the comforts of my paid columnsDoes Deborah ever read her own work.?An incredible plea for victim status from someone who quite honestly just shouldn't be encouraged to write.
..as for Fran she is obviously privy to some interesting high level business dialogue and when she reflects on this she is quite readable
but Sarah Palin is an appalling choice for vp and anyone who can't do the basic vetting of her and realise the 'karl roveist' placing of her in this us election just shouldn't be writing about politics.
