The Member for Cambodia

But the boxes 'only cost $20 each', RH, so that's alright. To misquote George Gregan 'Thirteen more months, boys, thirteen more months.
Righto, who is the maddest man in the land? Keith Locke by the length of the straight. Coming up on the rail are Sue Bradford, Sue Kedgely, Jeanette Fitzsimmons, Nandor Ropehead and the Norman bloke. See any connection? Look up 'Keith Locke Khmer Rouge' on Google and the servers start to melt down. Our Keith is so out of touch with reality that I had to find out why. He was born into a rabid family of Communists and things have got worse from there on. His support of Pol Pot in the mid seventies is well known and gives an early insight into the man's judgement and ability to sort out the idealistic wood from the pragmatic trees. Wood - the Khmer Rouge were an adjunct of the Vietnamese communist forces, trees - the Khmer Rouge were a bunch of genocidal maniacs. And you would want his opinion on anything more complex than in which hemisphere the sun was going to rise?
Air New Zealand are making a bit of dosh from the charter side of owning a few very expensive bits of capital i.e. airliners. Fine by me. If they want to ferry the Timaru Cat Strangler Society to Burkina Faso for a fair price I have no problem with that. But taking Aussie troops to Kuwait does not sit well with our government policy. The Member for Cambodia is quick to jump on this partiicular bandwagon telling us all that courtesy of this one action Koru Lounges around the world will be filled with men in luxuriant black beards carrying ticking briefcases. Good on you Keith, at least you are consistent in your insanity. If you didn't spout such errent nonsense on a regular basis Larry Williams would have no excuse to have you on his show at 4.45pm most days for the specific purpose of taking the piss out of you. This is the best entertainment on radio and I don't want it to stop.
This Air NZ charter stuff has the potential to get very messy. If handled properly it will expose the truly dysfunctional way in which this administration works. It will highlight the lunacy of having Winston as the Foreign Minister but outside cabinet. It will expose the total lack of information that filters up from a ministry to its minister. We will have a whole raft of people accpeting responsibilty for nothing and covering their backsides. And, again if played right, this government will come out of it looking awful.
Yum, yum - bring it on.
