Here we go - oh dear

Now that the election has been called we have started on what will be a couple of months of insufferable hypocrisy and lies on all fronts. Where to start? How about the Member for Cambodia? We (mercifully) haven't heard from this fruitcake for ages but his nasty visage rises above the level of the scum in relation to the election timed 'Lets ban gangs' call from Goof. You may recall that the Dental Nurse said this was a waste of time when last mooted a year or so back. Now that polling is just round the corner it is thought on the Ninth floor that it would be worth a vote or two but we had better not let Amalgam Girl bring it up because people might remember her previous stance on the matter. We will let Goof, from the totally inappropriate Corrections portfolio, do the work. Keith Locke then gets in high dudgeon saying it will be useless as it will drive the gangs underground. You what? How is this going to make things worse? Are they going to start doing illegal things? Are they going to form themselves into, well, gangs? What Commie Locke reckons will stop these bad men is a greater level of social service and all the other useless tosh short of a right good seeing to that his sort normally come up with. He reckons the key to the problem is making sure gang prospects have good 'career prospects'. Most of these scrotes would argue that is precisely what they are ensuring as they hold up a dairy or whatever they do when climbing the Gang ladder. Unfortunately the Greens look unlikely to be one of the political groupings that will be obliterated on 8th November.

I am unsure whether I dislike Cullen more than Clark or the other way round. It is a bit like deciding whether I dislike fried eggs more than tripe - I despise both. Cullen gets his nose in front this morning with his totally despicable comments about his favourite rich prick. Merrill Lynch has had to be bought out. Key used to (like about eight years ago used to) work for Merrill Lynch and therefore we get this 'Given his background and the fact that Merrill Lynch has just gone belly up, I would have thought New Zealanders should draw the conclusion that you wouldn’t put a man like that in charge of the New Zealand economy'.

This is as stupid as it is vidictive and nasty. Don't forget John Key left the firm many years ago. Merrill Lynch's troubles are on the mortgage side of the business whereas Key was a currency trader. He was also very good at it (hence he is a very rich prick) and his side of the business was enormously successful. As an aside Merrill Lynch has not gone belly up it has been sold for $44 billion real dollars which is an amount greater than this country's economy. And all this bile and vitriol is coming from the plonker who bought the railways for hundreds of millions more than their declared value purely for political ends.

We've got months more of this crap.
