Not the point at all. It could be philandering, nicking lollies from the corner dairy, not paying a $12 parking fine or anything. The problem is that he is perceived as not being honest. In the moral cess pit that is the Beehive Don was thought to have honesty on his side if nothing else. As of yesterday that is gone. Easy to lose, next to impossible to regain.
However on the brighter side, that lowest form of parliamentary pond life, the Bovver Boy, may have inadvertantly done himself and his odious mates more harm than he has already done to the Nats. There is a real feeling amongst people I have talked to this morning that Labour is really now beyond the pale in dragging someone's personal affairs through the mire. Remember the backlash Senator Starr copped when he forced Bill to famously say 'I did not have sex with that woman'.
I've no idea how this is going to pan out but I'm slightly less depressed than I was even six hours ago.
