Laughing in the House
April 5th, 2006 at 6:24 am by David FarrarJane Clifton (as usual) captures wonderfully yesterday in the House as Winston demanded repeatedly that Gerry Brownlee be made to apologise for interjecting during a point or order from the Rt Hon.
Gerry it seems did not interject, he just laughed loudly, and hence wasn’t seeing that he had interjected. How-ever Winston kept whining so finally the Speaker told Gerry he had to apologise. The result:
Mr Brownlee: “I apologise. Point of order!”
Ms Wilson: “Point of order, Mr Brownlee?”
Mr Brownlee: “What have I just apologised for?”
That was hilarious. Game, set and match to Brownlee.
No tag for this post.

What happenned to Winston Peters?
I haven’t heard a quality soundbite from him since he was going on about handing NZ Visa’s out under a tree outside the Embassy in New Delhi (some time ago)
He truly seems to have become a whining poodle.
Vote:Brownlee: 2
Peters: 0

Wow. Brownlee v Peters – another intellectual clash of the titans.
Keep laughing at his feeble jokes, but everytime Labour does something loathsome (roughly a bi-weekly occurence recently) and I contemplate voting National next time round I’m stopped short by the prospect of Gerry Brownlee as acting PM while the leader is overseas. I don’t think our currency value or balance of trade could take a hit like that.

Acting PMs don’t actually do anything you realise? PMs still run the show no matter what country they are in.
And if it will make you feel better in a coalition the Deputy PM could be Rodney, Peter, Winston or Tariana

With a dim witted buffoon like Gerry Brownlee in the house, no doubt concessions by the speaker would have to be made.

Winnie sounded like whining child sniveling to the teacher, I thought a MP was suppose to be an adult. He will be leaving apples on Wilson’s desk next.

I thought the laughter was about the tremendous joke of a speaker we have. Not often you get to see so many backflips in such a short time either. Well past time for a vote of no confidence in the speaker, or better still, a petition of no confidence.

About time the general population did that actually.

Right Murray – problem is they only take notice of what suits them.

“Only take notice of what interests them” is more like it, and petty point-scoring and oneupmanship like this crap is precisely the reason why most people don’t give a rat’s arse about politics.
