You should check out her poetry, cos a poet she is. Even when she is speaking her sentences scan and her words form to whirlpools inwhich you could drown...

Hard News: Dirty Politics, in reply to Paul Williams,
Race relations in Australia is distressing.
Can we call that "Understatement of the Year"?
Just finished watching Pliger's Utopia Doco. on Maori TV
I now know even more things I wish I didn't. -
Hard News: Dirty Politics, in reply to Rob Stowell,
I hope he’s not thinking he can use the magical super-legal powers of the ‘minister for the Canterbury recovery’ to step outside reality and launch the masterplan to morph Chch into Planet Key … :)
Thinking? Nah, planning. Remember, there are no toilets on planet Key so no need for poor people to clean them, trouble is, if you can't poo you just end up full of shit but that is de rigueur on planet Key.

I’m a more than a little Catholic on these matters; he who is without sin etc.
To which sin do you refer? Greed, Averace, Guutony, Sloth, wrath?, I could go the full seven but.... National can hardly claim to be worthy of casting a school play let alone stones.

Apparently JK is going to insert CERA into his Office. I hope he now understands the difference between himself and his Office.

Hard News: Why we thought what we thought, in reply to Kumara Republic,
The dominant ideology in today’s US Republicans, by our standards, are a mutant hybrid of Colin Craig and Rodney Hide. And the Democrats, when all its various factions are taken into account, span the spectrum between National and Labour.
Nail meet head. I am hearing from the God botherers of Mt Roskill that Craig is their man, these are the same people that would normally support Goff but have been suckered into thinking that Labour has turned into a ravenous bugblatter beast capable of nothing but destruction of the world as we know it. All thanks to the drunken ramblings of a wunch of bankers and lawyers. Did I say lawyers? try saying that with a broad Ulster accent and you will see what I mean.
ETA
The reason they used to support Goff was that they could see that caring for others was a Christian thing to do but now see Craig as making more sense, like what are the others actually for?, we cant all afford to have cleaners and gardeners. -
Hard News: Why we thought what we thought, in reply to Matthew Hooton,
although disappointed the PM appeared to bring it up in his press conference – just a little higher profile than I expected!
You get that with juvenile bullies, expose a frailty or weakness, an Achilles heel, they will exploit it like a predator, they will stub a cigarette out in your eye, slap you on the back with a knife in their hand, they are bitter, they are twisted, they grow up to be mean drunks and abuse the unfortunate, they go into politics, they rise like scum.

Back on topic. 3News interview with the head banker, sorry, Prime Minister. Key says he will leave it up to the “criminal” to come out and tell us who he has hacked.
Un fucking believable. This, of course, he said with a big drunken grin on his face.
Why, I ask, is he not calling in the police if he is convinced the “Hacker” is in fact a criminal? . I guess the public will have to make up their own mind as to why. -
Hard News: Dirty Politics, in reply to Joe Wylie,
While their contrived celebrity roast type of banter sticks in my craw, it seems to go over just fine in a culture where admen are household names like nowhere else.….
whereas over here its bankers and property developers. We really are a bunch of sad fucks eh?
