I'm interested to know what it would take to shake the unbending faith that the author and a large number of the readers of this blog have in Helen Clark?
As reported in the Herald today, "Mr Glenn said by February this year the Prime Minister was fully aware of his donation to Winston Peters."Well, Rik, perhaps because (a) Winston Peters steadfastly and unflinchingly denied the donation existed; (b) there was no hard evidence either way; (c) accusing the leader of another party who is also one of your Minister of being a big fat liar in the absence of (b) is unacceptable; and (d) the point that Rachel P. makes above.

Owen Glenn on 9-to-Noon this morning said something to the effect that he had never met anyone from the Maori party, never talked to anyone from the Maori party, and most certainly never offered money to said party. He was unequivocal.

Muldoon's "It doethn't leath my opponenths muth time, doeth it?" was memorable less for its rhetorical power than the manner in which it was pronounced.
Lange was the best though (and unlike any of the current mob, occasionally spoke his mind about the idiocy of the United States). But my two favourites were:
"He's gone around the country stirring up apathy." (about Bolger)
"I've changed my mind!" (responding to Palmer's effusive praise upon Lange's resignation as PM).

My favourite political rhetoric of recent years: Mark Latham's likening of Howard's government to "a conga line of suckholes."
