Claire Trevett describes an exchange in Parliament on Tuesday (love the “achievements”). The video is below – relevant section starts about 7:30 minutes. Judge for yourself.
PM gets the giggles over dope as Act MPs go up in smoke
… Accused by Mr Cunliffe of gloating about the Rugby World Cup and big dairy payouts while staying quiet on his Government’s economic record, Mr Key set out to prove he was not simply capitalising on the cup.
He reeled off a list of National’s “achievements” ending after a short time with “and by the way, we are on track to win the Rugby World Cup”.
His MPs – and the students in the public gallery – went wild but Labour’s Maryan Street was less impressed. She had undertaken some covert surveillance of her own and discovered the Prime Minister was, in fact, a clown.
In apparent disgust at the lack of gravitas, she could no longer hold back.
“You’re the Prime Minister,” she told him, voice dripping with scorn.
“Not a performing seal or a circus clown. You’re the Prime Minister. What a clown!”
The current rise of populism challenges the way we think about people’s relationship to the economy.We seem to be entering an era of populism, in which leadership in a democracy is based on preferences of the population which do not seem entirely rational nor serving their longer interests. ...
The server will be getting hardware changes this evening starting at 10pm NZDT.
The site will be off line for some hours.
he is a clown allright. but not a very funny one.
And coulrophobia is spreading throughout the land.
Just have a look at the comments on that. On the first page, there’s only 1 lame negative one (that is nicely rebutted) and most of them have 100+ likes.
There’s still some hope.
Is Maryan Street’s comment in the video? I seem to have missed it…
Marrian is going nuts at about 9:16 (about one full minute after Key stops talking – and during Boscowan).
Sounds like a case of hysterical Key Derangement Syndrome.
Can I brag here – mine has most likes!!!
Shame people can’t see beyond the phoney smile.
Good job!
Spot the surge of RWNJs on that site since this post was displayed. None of the rightwing comments showed anything other than tripe. The one by Doreen Poh blamed everything on Labour yet the subjects she chose like leaky homes, Pike River disaster, etc were all NAct bad policy. That was priceless. She was quickly reminded of that.
LPrent and other Standard commenters – your site is becoming more and more popular with the rightwing. Maybe you can organise a few more blog posts about how to get the country right again under a Labour-led government. The rightwing obviously don’t have any worthwhile ideas of their own, so they’re on here to steal yours.
Maybe we should keep quiet, although that would risk the country being shafted and another nine years to get it fixed.
On a side note, again a post bereft of RWNJ comment – truth hurts.
Exactly
I think this warrants commenting under this post due to paucity of other comments and relevant subject matter:
