Priceless entertainment.

Poor WillieJ, sold his political soul to the white man for beads and blankets.

A complete clusterf*ck by Little and the Labour management from start to finish. Can you imagine the disaster this pack of incompetent fools would be running a government?

Comic, of course, but par for the course. In fact, Jackson's merely demonstrating "what it means to be a Kiwi," and what's so wrong with that?

However, simply turn your attention to the right of the Jackson snippet where the Herald's National Headlines feature breathtaking news of a former prostitute back behind bars, a car on its roof and some corner-shop owner deploying tins of cat food as a
thief repellent.

Yup, if you wanna punch above your clapped-out cliché in a really meaningful way while footing it on the world stage, surely such worldwide online revelations can only further confirm New Zealand's claim to be "the envy of the
world?"

Yet the Poms, yanks, Aussies, Chinese, Indians etc are still queuing up to get in.
And still Keith Warren moans. He can't help it, it's the way he's genetically wired.

Sucks to be you, Keith.

The Herald?
It's not the Herald, you poor, confused little fellow. It's Fairfax online...

They have both a sexist and racist selection policy. At least one of the top
16 in their list must be Maori (however they define that). This is clearly a race based policy and is therefore racist.
