   Natcorp rapper Botox Boag took #pussyriot off the stage yesterday with her toxic version of Living In Paradise.

   I figure it was the early release of their 2017 election campaign song. Wonder what slim shady and his lawyers think?

   OMG, I couldn’t watch that ‘performance’ right through!

   Self-delusion is alive and well in Key’s paradise!

     I have done many things for “the cause”, but listening to that long enough to transcribe the chorus was probably the most painful.

       Your a good man rOb. My dog nipped at my hand to kill it, she is very sensitive around hysterical behaviour and sounds. Rewarded her with a treat for saving me from the sufferance.

       I gave up at the 2nd line of the chorus.

       And what a shit chorus it is, too! They sound like victims of a cult.

       Reminds me of the last lines of A Tale of Two Cities: “It is a far, far better thing that I do, than I have ever done . . ”

       Your sacrifice, rOb, is appreciated – but not much!

   Who let Miss Boag out of her coffin ?

   Whats going on with the great NZ National party, they know they have a fourth term in the bag yet they are letting members of the family out on day release to do stupid things.

   Maybe the arrogance is getting the better of them , for National thats not unusual.

   Paradise indeed.

     There’s nothing more hysterical than old people trying to act like they were, current with youth..

     She should really go the whole hog though. like, always good to say, like, a lot in a sentence like, you know, like

     Terms like, you know like.

     Do I look bovered.. always great for the kids..like

     Pokémon, she should grab a one and wander the streets connecting with the youth of NZ..likey lots

     She really could do so much good for National.. if she just tried a little harder..

     as for arrogance, that was amusing.

     When John said this year my party will not be arrogant, like, he really meant they will.

     add it too his list of lies.

         Because for a party trying to show they have a sensible head and are fit for government, rapping, morris dancing, break dancing, disco dancing, dancing with the stars, or any freaking dancing is strictly forbidden in the Westminster parliamentary handbook under how not top look like complete dicks

           Have less of the “olde” – I often call my cats pillocks. Well, “furry pillock” usually, but the principle’s the same. Key and Boag are definitely pillocks, albeit not furry ones.

     The Greens’ morris dancing was funny. This… isn’t. Labour should arrange plausibly-deniable mass distribution of it next year with the message “These people are running your country.”

   If I were a National Party strategist, I’d be embedding the meme “New Zealand is Paradise” into the minds of voters by having my media puppets (Henry et al) repeat it over and over and over, so that as the election nears, it could be used as a swift and well-honed weapon against anyone has anything negative to say about how the country is going, ’cause by then, everybody will know that NewZealandisParadise ™, ’cause Paul Henry said so! When Boag drives the point home and we are infuriated, she and I (Natty strategist) and the rest of our horrid crew will cackle and crow, as is our wont.

      Agreed, that could be part of a new Planet Key video. Painful to watch it, but the lyrics are the real crime.

      “We’ve got the money, We have the power” – unfortunately that’s true, and the left will need a fair bit of marketing cash to change the government in 2017. Not impossible if everyone clubs in.

    Think, folks.

    This is clearly the work of desperate people.

    People who really, really believe that if one repeats the same false words often enough, the words become truth.

    Michele Boag bullshitted on Giggles With Jim on how she had to pay for her varsity education….and if she call what she does ‘work’, it shows how divorced from reality she is.

    Truly awful stuff.

      Can”t stand Boag myself…but hey she got up on stage. And is now providing a heap of laughs for all and sundry.

      However how anyone could come up with this – “This is clearly the work of desperate people.”

      Please do tell Rosemary McDonald… do you mean “desperate” because the Nat’s are short on cash for next year’s election? or because they are only 48% in the polls? or something else?

      Or do you mean Boag is desperate to become a rapper? which makes better sense 🙂

            Come on Chucky answer the question, I can’t make it any simpler – you keep avoiding a very simple question – do you have somthing to hide?

            I’ve supported Sue and her law change, for a while. You on the other hand seem to think it OK to bring up loony anti-smacking talk. So lets get back to the question shall we. Do you beat children or support the rights of those who do?

            I would have though a simple no would have been the most appropriate answer, and the simplest, but you deem to attack me for asking a very simple question. Also you have avoided a no for almost two days now – I can only think you deem it OK to beat children, or support those who do.

        Is that the sound of straws being clutched I hear?

        Nah, to me, this smacks of an attempt to regain some lost ground by ripping off (Not National! Surely?!) a rap classic.

        Now, why? (Or maybe, “Why now”)

        If we are to believe the polls (Which I don’t btw) National simply can’t lose the next election.

        Something has spooked them….only possible reason for such a desperately pathetic stunt. (And this one Chuck, mate, will stick like shit to the proverbial.)

        It’ll come out one day….the truth…like scum it will float to the top.

    Incidentally, hearing her claim her opponents were “telling lies” was both sad and hilarious in equal measure. If you locked that woman in a room full of mirrors, she’d melt.

    As theres no daily review this appears to be the logical thread to post this on……paradise is so easily lost.

    ‘To scholars it’s known as “the mixed economy”, the combination of dynamic free markets, effective government, and a strong labor movement that characterizes the world’s most prosperous nations. Strict laissez-faire capitalism created extraordinary wealth in late 19th- and early 20th-century America. It also created extraordinary concentrations of economic and political power that threatened to undermine democracy, along with such virulent side-effects as frequent bank panics, wild vacillations of boom and bust, extreme social and income inequality, and monopoly control of major industries. The Gilded Age robber barons – the Goulds, the Vanderbilts, the Morgans and Rockefellers – did quite well under laissez-faire. Most of the rest of Americans were still stuck in the ditch, with little to no economic security, life expectancy of roughly 45 years and horrific infant mortality rates that claimed 300 babies per 1,000 in the cities.”
