Doctor Who?

Usually with my posts I put up a picture of the people I predominantely refer to. In this case, the person isn't worthy of a picture showing what the post is all about.

That BITCH! Clark, she who used rhetoric to its max over way more than 9 years received the highest honour, which now, is of course not, because she became a member of it. Kudos to all those other real genuine people that received it, and a huge BRICKBAT to she and her "very close" offsider Heather Simpson - how on earth the country allowed them to rule so long is just astounding.

As to the hon Law degree, another weirdly incredible thing to give her. Its been wildly commented on already in many other blogs, least I say, as above, all those other real genuine recipients of the HonLLD might well be wondering the value of the ones they received.

So, she deviously planned to be in NZ to receive the gong and the LLD, now she will piss off back to NY. Its unfortunate that she is like a virus, that just keeps on coming back.

Helen Clark - the Order now lacks order

Helen Clark, ONZ. The latest recipient of this rather presitgious Order has been quoted as saying she wouldn't have accepted a Damehood. Um, by implication this means she was expecting something. Given a CNZM (Companion of the NZ Order of Merit) would have been "too low" for a former PM leads me to the question: Why should there be any expectation of a politician receiving anything at all! If one wants to use the argument that because they are politicians, they serve the country, well hang on, how about giving an ONZ to all those that serve in the Armed Forces. This is exactly one of the reasons why I started this blog. It really fucks my noodles that politicians expect a right to anything just because they are in politics.

Another example. Jonathon Hunt. That fat pig who was Speaker of the House who was known as Minister for Wine and Cheese. Look, he spent oodles of years in public office - so what. Look at his record, what did he achieve that is OUTSTANDING to merit an ONZ. He the man who went off to be High Commissioner in London and wanted to draw the pension there. He can rot in his own outdated wine and moldy cheese, for in my view, he isn't even worth a good toss.

Back to Helen, smarmy as she is, she is added to a list of ONZ politicial recipients - hardly anything to be proud of. But naturally she will accept it. Heather Simpson (H2) would have insisted (as she did with many decisions she made as proxy PM.

The ONZ should have gone to people like Peter Jackson, or Richard Hadlee or my Dad for that matter who worked his guts out building dams and houses in the 50's for a pittance but for good cause. Politicians should be banned from this prestigious Order, but in reality it won't happen. The politicians haven't the balls to exempt themselves.
