Call in Malcolm Tucker, we’ve got a live one

What the hell is going on in Labour?

Phil Goff didn’t ask the PM about the suppressed advice that 3 strikes may increase homicides. Why? Too busy heaping praise on John Key. Calling him a “good politician”. Saying he deserves “credit where credit’s due”.

One News asks if Goff is losing his marbles.

3 News wonders if he’s voting National in 2011.

Me, I wonder if he’s angling for a job with the Herald.

Where’s Malcolm Tucker when you need him?

    Actually, I’m pretty sure Tucker is more likely to be working for Key given recent news coverage, if you’ll allow me to paraphrase:

    “Tomorrow from broadsheets to wank rags I want pages one, two and three to be a profile of [John] looking like a fucking political colossus, you know [John] meeting [Obama], [John] in a [public school] chatting to little, [underpriveledged] kiddies. I want pages four and five to be a timeline of [New Zealand] politics with me at the center, looking fucking indispensable and fucking benign, and I want page six to be fucking [Eyjafjallajokull] or some bullshit, not a fucking [NACT] deepshit legacy-distracting cockup!’

    Goff is just giving key rope to hang himself later with,i bet key had a big head last night,he thinks hes so cool…
    but it looks like kiwis are not far from turning on the nact party
    then Goff will go hard
    hide will get arrested and top himself
    key will get a job at the UN
    and Winston Peters will become leader of the maori party

    I predict that Key will eventually join the Greens as he realises they have the wisest and most popular policies to cope with the effects of climate change, peak oil etc.

    I thought it was a pretty good put down. At the same time he’s branding Key in the David Cameron mould, a bit like the Anna Kournikova of politics.

    Jim:
    “A teflon pan, I had
    At first unstuck it was, the pumpkin
    I cooked and cooked
    In no time, became it stuck
    Death of the pan by a thousand scratches

    Very clever Jim. :)
