Unbelievable
The Herald on Sunday has a story criticising Bronagh Key because the jacket she wore to John’s swearing in, was the same she wore to the party’s campaign launch.
I like the HoS generally, but sorry guys but that is pathethic. And it gets worse later on with this unsolicited advice:
“We would accentuate her legs and waist, changing her tomboy look into a slightly more feminine and sexy version,” she said.
Sigh.

We’re facing the worst financial crisis in decades and constantly being told to reduce, reuse and recycle yet wearing something twice is a fashion crime: http://homepaddock.wordpress.com/2008/11/23/fashionistas-should-stick-to-own-kitting/

The wimpish pc fashion police in the media are a pathetic sick joke. Didn’t Miss Klark meet the queen in a pair of jeans, oops I mean trousers? The sickening media could do with a serving of mettle from the Kiwi league lads and All Blacks. Toilet paper newspapers give me the shits.

You just can’t win with newspapers… Sarah Palin is criticised for spending too much on clothes. And Bronagh Kay is criticised for spending too little on clothes. Could journalists tell us what the right amount is? And could they explain why it’s okay for John and Obama to wear the same suit as much as they want, but not okay for female opponents and spouses to do the same.

Lia Nicholls will be on the street with the rest of the left wing media soon, and without her in-depth and intelligent reporting on “showbiz” and “glamour” and “Hollywood” and the “pop scene”, liberals will be in a special state of despair.

…and Helen Clark was a fashion model, not.
There’s no pleasing some people on the Left. Which is good.

1st off, good on ya kiwi league boys, YEAH
On the money DPF.
You took the words outta my mouth OECD. I can’t recall the HoS ever calling for Clark to go to the dentist or invest in a paper bag

I’d like it very much if I never saw a link to a Herald article from here again. Their shameless partisan behaviour during the election campaign should have been enough in itself to have them downgraded to the level of a promotional flyer. Over the past two weeks, articles in print in the Herald stated:
John Key would try to get sworn in quickly so he could go to Peru to get clued up on the global finanacial crisis.
Then he called Helen for advce on APEC meetings – this from a man who will have had meetings with more powerful men many times over in his career
then he went to Peru and gave an authoritive speech about the financial crisis
then he was blaming money traders for the crisis – though the stroy did not support the headline
then he was at odds with other leaders over his stance – though the story did not support the headlines
and now Bronagh wore a dress twice over the period of a few months.
Enough.
The herald journalists are liars and spin meisters for the left. As we see over the past week or so, they can’t even support their own lies. At one time you could be sure that the event reported had happened, even if the details were wrong. Now you can’t even be sure the event happened. Please, for the love of god, stop giving them any attention.

By not buying the Herald or reporting its “News” you effectively consign it and other like biased media to the irrelevancy such drivel journalism deserves – so do support their policy of turning a once relveant large circulation publication into an irrelevant niche media outlet for the stupid & uninformed by not buying.

Petty, stupid, crap, crass diatribe masquarading as journalism. Clearly the ‘silly season’ has arrived early this year.
November 23rd, 2008 at 11:30 am
They had nothing bad to say about labour for the last 9 years, now they are in hiatus waiting for something good to say about them in opposition (nothing yet) or bad to say about the Government (nothing yet) so they have to stoop to engaging a woman who could buy the shop anytime she went out, but sticks to her own standards, and lives the kind of life they would be telling her to if she lived the style they now want so they can criticise it.
All this shows is how devoid of any real understanding of basic Kiwi standards and mores the press has become.

What absolute and utter lowlifes! The husband’s out of town and these thugs go around to his house and beat up his missus!

This is clearly the biggest scandal of the Key administration to date, and likely the beggining of the end for this govt, as this will likely destabilise the coalition.
Key did not reveal Bronagh to be a tom boy and this is clear evidence of his hidden dishonest “bigot within” demeaner.
For Bronagh to have sexy legs and not use them is not only dishonest it is morally bankrupt, this is a slippery slope people.
What other dark and insiddious secrets will be revealed by this money trader who hood winked the nation?
Only time will tell, lets just hope there is still time left.

Did Peter Davis ever get criticised for wearing the same striped cardie with leather elbow patches day in, day out? No.
Lia Nicholls should stick to the toe-rag tabloids where her type of “journalism” belongs.

The joys of being a woman in politics. If the woman is attractive she gets treated like a sex symbol, if she’s ugly she’s hounded for that. If she reveals she has sexy legs, Shunda Barunda, everyone goes stupid over that, then she’s either a slapper who should cover up or her legs aren’t that hot or if the sexiness of her legs is conceded she automatically has not brain.
Did anyone point out that Key has worn the same blue tie (either that or he has a lot that are very similar, which is just as bad) in almost every media appearance he has been in the past few weeks? Of course not. He’s male.
November 23rd, 2008 at 12:59 pm
Madeleine, He wore an orange tie in Peru, really ugly…which suggests that Key doesn’t spend a lot on media consultants, and that’s fine with me.

If Bronagh is half the woman I think she is, she will be laughing her knickers off at that piece of Pulitzer prize winning journalism, and waiting for the next installment.
November 23rd, 2008 at 3:09 pm
i dont recall them having a go at Davis… what was he wearng election night 2005? when he was pashing that bloke?
November 23rd, 2008 at 4:07 pm
Bronagh has a similar taste in clothes to Michelle Obama – both prefer strong, bright colours, high necklines, and both eschew prints; usually.
Mrs Obama is called ‘matronly’ which is what the HoS is alluding to with Mrs Key.
I would say both women know what suits them. And they should carry on.
November 23rd, 2008 at 4:20 pm
and I’ll bet the story was written by a woman and I’ll bet the same woman will be the first to wail and moan at any male who raises the issue. (No = I I havent seen the story but I’ll bet anything you like that I’m right. Only females write these dumb fashion stories. Men are far more simple – women are either attractive or they arent.)
morons.

I think she’ll have to get used to the rubbish from the media.
I’m sure they’ll all chortle over breakfast at the dimwits.
November 23rd, 2008 at 10:42 pm
Wearing the same clothes twice – good on yea Bronagh – its called economy – and how often did dear Leader wear the white Jacket but no comment from the biased MSM. Get a life HOS or better still get lost.
December 4th, 2008 at 12:46 am
He wore it in London too; but I thought it look good!
