Falling for a politician’s tricks – that’s gullibility
Seeing those tricks for what they are – that’s nous
Seeing them for what they are but falling for them anyway and praising the politician – what’s that?
colin espiner 1 April – …the PM was overjoyed by the success of the Twitter story. It may have boomeranged, but not before David Cunliffe made a right, er, twit of himself taking repeated points of order to deny he’d ever twittered, or even tweeted for that matter. By the time MPs had dried their eyes, they’d completely forgotten about Labour’s attack on the tax cuts, which was what the original issue had been about. For the rest of Question Time, MPs tweet-tweeted whenever Cunliffe got to his feet (including a few from his own side). A classic diversionary tactic, and very successful.
What are we to expect though? Espiner was the first to repeat Key’s ‘block of cheese tax cuts’ line and he didn’t say a thing when Key’s tax cuts didn’t even deliver a crumb for most New Zealanders.
