Agony Chamber 30Mar

I watched the monkey's in parliament today and offer some comments.

Ruth Dyson - this overweight hamster (and boy has she stoked the weight on) continues to try and take Tony Ryall on. She hasn't a shit show in hell because historically Labour screwed health whilst in power and everytime she opens her trap, Ryall is prepared and ready to respond. He actually does a really good job and under National the health system is improving (albeit slowly) - but they had a hell of a mess to tidy up. Dyson goes on my fuck-knuckle list because she is so entrenched in Clarkism that she has lost site of reality.

Metiria Turei - what an absolute knumptie. She doesn't exude confidence each time she stands up and she is testing the Speaker - I'm surprise he hasn't kicked her out. Everytime she makes a point of order and is told to sit down - she just keeps prattling on. The Green Party is a non-entity and I hope NZ see's the light at the next election and wipe them out. Not a clue about economics and running a country.

Hone Harawira - went rampant again on describing the overseas white invaders of bringing disease to NZ. Sure disease was rampant in that era, but Maori weren't exactly disease free. Harawira's logic was off the map (as usual) and when debating the Social Assistance Bill pushed the line that Maori were the down-trodden poor homeless out of work majority. Yep - true that is because they don't get off their fat arses and make a life for themselves. They have become dependant on the State thru Clarkism and I'm glad National is getting tough on this issue. Hekia Parata did a surperb job in reply and as Maori really did tell it how it is - don't bludge, get ya life together and make something out of it. Good point. I'm a halfa (Half Maori Half English) and I did quite nicely through shear hard work and not bludging. Harawira and his mob need to focus their hardass words on Maori - simple as.

The Agony Chamber - This week

Three contributions I thought interesting during question time this week.

1. Phillis Goff - launched an attack on the PM by referring to sloppiness (from Key's comment that he was sloppy regarding his mining shares). This is so childish. Goff used the word "sloppy" to criticise all and sundry re: what the Govt is doing. It's playground behaviour and Goff was close to popping a vein. Tragic really.

2. Catherine Delahunty - this toxic greenie launched an attack on wee Pansy Wong over the number of woman serving on various boardroom appointees (or the lack of women on said boards). What a stupid line of argument toxic took. She seems interested in female dominance I think. Shouldn't she be aiming an argument on having the best person for the job, NOT based on gender? Or would she rather have female dominated boards with those that don't have the skills to do the job. Delahuntry can flap all she likes but I know i'd like the best PERSON to be in situ. Stupid woman lost out anyhow given Wong stated that 47% are filled by women already. Another example of an MP who just doesn't put thought into issues.

3. Wayne Mapp - poor ole Doc Mapp, attacked from the left and right all at once over the NIWA mess. He really does bumble along, tries hard but is not particularly persuasive. He best sort out NIWA before the shit flys all over. ACT seem intent on attacking on this one - make the most ACT, its your last term in parliament anyhow.

The Agony Chamber - 10Feb10

When I'm free, I intend to pass comment on what I see during question time in that weird meeting place of our politicians. I've always been amused of the antics that go on, but less so of recent times given that we pay these turkey's heaps to behave like fuckwits.

Goff, Key and the GST saga. Goff sought to question Key over the possible increase in GST to 15%. Kinda stupid way to start the year Goff given his previous Govt not only introduced GST, but also increased. Hello! The Nats intend, IF they increase the GST to 15% to also reduced personal taxes, just as Goff's Govt did. So Phillis, try coming up with a real argument instead of making yourself look like a fool.

Interestingly, that one-man-party-joke, Alliance and almost octogenerian Anderton got up to try and have key define the word "not". Hello? One of the things about the agony chamber is that arguments must be both cogent and rational. Anderton flogged a dead horse and the Speaker shut him down - quite rightly too.

Tolley is having a rough time at the moment too. I think she risks being kicked out of the cabinet - she just doesn't have any balls (well literally as well as figuratively). She is a trier, but no match for Daffy Duck Mallard. She is weak and spineless and however well she may do the job in the background, she just isn't credible when in front of the public.

Annette King. Although I can't stand her supercilious tone, she is way better than soft-wanker Goff in the chamber. She actually offers up good arguments and counters well against the more inexperienced Paula Bennett. Unfortunately King didn't win on points over the unemployment rate. Recessions cause unemployment and if the labbies think it will all be solved within one year then they have just fallen out of a bunch of trees.

Jeanette Fitzsimmons - last week in parliament. Good riddance to the nambie pambie grandma.

Cunliffe - what a prize wanker. He comes across so toffy-nosed when he speaks. He pushes Mr Speaker to the limit very often and I think he is periously close to being kicked out sometime soon. He's a smart ass and most kiwi's don't like that sort.

The agony chamber continues to agonize.
