Strikingly beautiful
The Herald reports:
Mr Goff said yesterday that the woman was strikingly beautiful.
How helpful of Mr Goff. That will help protect her anonymity and not create more speculation.
Is he now trying to make this sound even more lurid?
Anyone got any idea why Goff thought it was a good idea to share his opinion of her attractiveness with the media?

Mr Goff went on to describe her hair as like delicate sunshine caressing a face that would make the gods weep with joy.
June 6th, 2009 at 12:36 pm
Mr. Goff is just a silly billy now isn’t he! Or maybe he was just desperate for ANY media attention. I must say I will be very sad to see Goff ousted as leader.
June 6th, 2009 at 12:36 pm
Well, compared to his old boss, who isn’t?
June 6th, 2009 at 12:49 pm
He’s parading around like a prize poodle at the moment?
He has no idea about economics, finance or anything else useful yet has a smile on his face like he has overnight solved world hunger.
June 6th, 2009 at 12:56 pm
“Mr Goff said yesterday that the woman was strikingly beautiful. ”
It’s an obvious contradiction: the woman cannot be pretty and a member of the Labour Party at the same time.
The immense majority of Labourite females are either ugly, overweight, or masculine in demeanour.
Goff, aka Invisible Man, is lying.
June 6th, 2009 at 1:02 pm
How would any male from the Labour Party know the difference between a truffle hunter and a babe? All his life in Politics, Goff has only been surrounded by pig ugly wimmin. Manolo above is correct – pretty and Labour party membership are contradictions in terms.
June 6th, 2009 at 1:06 pm
It would appear that Mr Goof believes he is being an extremely clever lad by giving just enough information to titillate
June 6th, 2009 at 1:06 pm
Mr Goff is an oxygen thief, not sure why his father wasted a load on him……
Seriously, if any Labour voters rate him, they need to look into some facts and actual results……. The last decade has been a breeze for any Tom, Dick or Harry to run the show, it is the next 10 that will count….. Faith in Goff, yeah right, National will be loving him as the opposition…. A total idiot….
June 6th, 2009 at 1:07 pm
“I’d do her” says Goff.
Jesus how bloody stupid is this guy? For a guy who is suposed to be quite bright and has been around for a while hes behaving like a rank amature.
June 6th, 2009 at 1:18 pm
@%^&*! computers!!
(To continue . . )
. . . the media and (by default) keep us all in a state of supposed slobbering anticipation. (Via a very compliant media – of course) Based purely on what has gone before, he will probably next release the lady’s first initial, then her second initial then the second letter of her used-name and so on and so on . . (you know – the usual ‘guess who I am’ game).
All of which sadly makes Mr Goff look ever so slightly silly – and tewwibly, tewwibly boring.
No doubt he has convinced himself that he is sabotaging the dreaded Nats’, but what it is actually doing is making himself look extremely foolish – and a one-trick pony because after he’s done this what is left ? Not much I suspect.
Therefore, the request just has to be ‘Come on Phil spill the Beans, you’ve just about told us the ladies name, so ‘fess-up’
Any bets that he will? Or won’t?
Now if Dear Leader was still here . . .
June 6th, 2009 at 1:25 pm
When you look at what Phil has to share the smoko room with I’m pretty sure my pet boxer would look ‘stikingly beautiful’
Keep digging Goffy now you’ve just upset the femi-nazi wing of the labour movement…
June 6th, 2009 at 1:35 pm
sounds more like Goffs trying to get his leg over as well
June 6th, 2009 at 1:42 pm
Is this the current complainant? So .. unless I’ve missed something … we now have a strikingly beautiful female Korean lawyer from Auckland?
Could be anyone.
June 6th, 2009 at 1:43 pm
Patrick S, think you hit the nail on the head there…..
June 6th, 2009 at 1:44 pm
Why is John Key responding to this issue? Last week he said he wasn’t commenting. Good job. The police are investigating. Let’s see how it pans out.
The way things are going it looks like the 9th Floor is disorganised, panicky and buying into Phil Goff’s agenda. Why not step back, calm down, and stick to the message “the police are investigating. This matter is with them and Dr.Worth”?
Maybe they think/know this is a set-up and have a brilliant plan to entrap Phil Goff/expose this as a Labour set-up. If so, great, go for it, ignore me.
If not, then calm down. Do they have nothing else to do but worry about Dr Worth’s private life?
On another tangent, I would’ve thought the PM would be rejoicing in the opportunity to get rid of RW from Cabinet regardless of whether this is a set-up or not. The guy is lazy and dodgy. Better for the taxpayers to have a bright, hungry, younger gun in the Internal Affairs portfolio. After all, the entrenched management in that place need a kick up the bum to get them moving again. The need someone to force some new thinking/new blood because there are opportunities in that joint to save the taxpayer a heap of $. You can bet the more motivated staff at Internal Affairs are happy RW is gone but they’ll be staring gloomily into their tea, and waiting for job market to improve if they get Maurice Williamson for ever!
June 6th, 2009 at 1:48 pm
To use a poker term, Phil has to go all in now. He can’t bluff any more, he has to deliver the goods or else he will drop the hand and miss out on the pot. I am thinking the labour party didn’t think it would go this far, else why would they have Phil leading the charge? Usually they have someone like Mallard raking the muck. For the leader to get as involved as Phil is, he needs to be absolutely sure he has the goods. For Phil to miss here, means he also kisses goodbye to the leadership.

A label that could apply to the Greens as well, now I think about it.

2 women.
1x ‘strikingly beautiful’, mwc, labour party activist INDIAN woman whom Worth sent some txt messages to
1x KOREAN businesswoman in her 40s whom Worth apparently shagged in a Wellington hotel
June 6th, 2009 at 2:20 pm
If what I read in the Herald today is true, Goff will look rediculous. Apparently this woman is is suppose to be very pretty has done the same before to a prominent business Korean man. She used him to meet successful politicians and businessmen. At least that is what this businessman is saying. Wow, if this is true, then John Key is smart not to judge and Goff will look like a complete idiot.
June 6th, 2009 at 2:20 pm
““Mr Goff said yesterday that the woman was strikingly beautiful. ”
Hey, maybe Phil was getting the dirty messages on HIS phone.
Perhaps Phil has a little cross dressing fetish and is quite fond of his reflected appearance, he kind of looks like a drag queen
perhaps we should call him Mrs Garrison
June 6th, 2009 at 2:35 pm
“It’s an obvious contradiction: the woman cannot be pretty and a member of the Labour Party at the same time.
The immense majority of Labourite females are either ugly, overweight, or masculine in demeanour. ”
“Goff has only been surrounded by pig ugly wimmin”
I see misogyny is alive and well here today.
June 6th, 2009 at 2:46 pm
I can’t wait to find out what she is like between the sheets.
June 6th, 2009 at 2:55 pm
jackp
Only to people who already think he is a complete idiot or to people who were undecided, His loyal red flag wavers will continue to blame Key.
June 6th, 2009 at 3:18 pm
@jackp – aren’t you mixing up Goof’s Indian with the police complaint’s Korean?
June 6th, 2009 at 3:22 pm
Goffs rush in where angels fear to tread. So Phil has the same taste in wimmin as Worth, I guess that goes part of the way to explain why he’s acting as her champion. I wonder what her husband must be thinking about now? I hope he’s as committed to the Labour cause as his wife, because at this rate her identity isn’t going to remain a secret for long and the reasons for her keeping Worth on the end of a string are going to make for some pretty lurid media coverage.
SBY – Misandry is alive and well over at the double standard, you get what you come for and I’m sure your expectations were met with glee. The limp loonies are having a field day accusing Key of being sexist, there’s a pervasive stench of desperation on their blog.
June 6th, 2009 at 3:26 pm
SBY posted at 2.35pm:” …I see misogyny is alive and well here today…”
Misandry is a far bigger problem in NZ than misogyny. It is overlooked because most men are too macho to admit it exists. That most of us need to look up “misandry” in the dictionary to find it means hatred of men illustrates how underdiagnosed this problem is. Another reason is the feminisation of the media, where men are now well under-represented.
Take education. A feminised primary school teaching profession crushes young males. Boys are no longer allowed to be normal boys, complete with shoves, jostles, yahoos, playground wrestling, and boyhood fun. Teaching systems within the classroom are biased strongly to favour girls over boys. NCEA is the latest such development. Teacher misandrists were prominent in the campaign against smacking yet they crush the spirit of boys as young as five or six by using group and whole-class pressure and other cruel, bitch-type modification techniques. They want a conformity for boys that means accepting they are second class to girls.
Labour, with support from the Greens, has been the key implementer of misandry in New Zealand. The Goff tantrum over an apparently over-randy male MP is a manifestation of Labour’s preoccupation with lesbians, heterosexual feminists, and girly men. When normal male Labour MPs display typical rambunctious male behaviour Labour shows a double standard. If the offender supports the general misandry line in public words they get a slight tap on the hand, like Mallard. If, like a certain Maori member from Northland, now retired, they don’t knuckle under completely, they get sidelined.
Time to stand and fight guys.
June 6th, 2009 at 3:41 pm
Hi folks, looks like Goff is the best leader of the opposition Natioal could ever wish for.
Keep going insincere smiling person. You are doing us all proud. Don’t change a thing!
June 6th, 2009 at 3:44 pm
Can you imagine if Key has used those words. The MSM headlines would have screamed “Goff slams Key for sexist comment”. They’re so busy looking for angles to land a -ve publicicty punch on Key that Goffs increasingly desperate attempts to do just that go largely unchallenged.
June 6th, 2009 at 4:00 pm
RightNow, you said: “SBY – Misandry is alive and well over at the double standard, you get what you come for and I’m sure your expectations were met with glee. The limp loonies are having a field day accusing Key of being sexist, there’s a pervasive stench of desperation on their blog.”
You mistake me for a devotee of the Standard.
Jack5, you said: “Misandry is a far bigger problem in NZ than misogyny.” I can already see the Tui billboard.
June 6th, 2009 at 4:18 pm
SBY- I don’t accuse you of being a devotee of the standard-standard (if I had I might have referred to it as your blog, not their blog). I was pointing out its very much horses for courses. You came here expecting to see a certain attitude from the majority of comments and got it in truckloads. Same as if you go to the double S you will get what you expect. I get nauseous visiting the slandered myself so only have a quick browse from time to time to make sure they’re not likely to change their spots (it reassures me that there’s no real threat of them becoming popular).
June 6th, 2009 at 4:21 pm
Maybe Goof’s socialist roots stretch back to KGB tactics……. It sounds a little like the lady in question was executing a classic honeytrap on Dr worthless…….. Over several months with the systematic gathering of evidence the only question was the timing of when to spring the trap……. With the budget at the end of May and the by election two weeks later the last week of May seemed to be the ideal time……The trap has been sprung but the uncertainty that remains is whether Mr Goof will be caught in his own trap as Politics tends to be as a game of chess……..your defensive strategy needs to be as sound as your attack…..it remains to be seen whether Mr Goof ends up at checkmate himself……Also history shows that as efficient as the KGB were ultimately they were on the losing side of the cold war.
June 6th, 2009 at 5:13 pm
I wonder about the merits of his comments, but coming from you David? When have you not thought it appropriate to comment on the looks of a woman? Positively or negatively?
June 6th, 2009 at 5:54 pm
Public service job cuts….MSD announced job cuts recently. Apparently none of the managers third-tier or otherwise at Work and Income are going anywhere but some low level staff are having to ‘reapply’ for their jobs. I gues they’d say that they need the management resource in a time of rising unemployment. I guess all the cuts are in places like FACS (as in ‘what the FAC do they do anyway?’).
My view on that place is that the best thing they could’ve done to increase efficiency would have been to sack ALL the Work and Income second and third-tier managers!
Still I suppose they’ll need all their Head Office managers to cope with 100 new Case Managers to be employed by end July (see the May 12th press release on the MSD site). Will be interesting to see how many Managers from across the Ministry actually do go.
June 6th, 2009 at 6:58 pm
Dobbie, you sound like a Palestinian at a Bar Mitzvah.
June 6th, 2009 at 7:11 pm
Is anyone else sick of Mr Goff over this matter?
No one is condoning Richard Worth and his behavior is not befitting of an MP. However Goof Off is trying to exploit someone elses misery for his own personal political gain. Every time he tries to score points over this he comes out looking like he is getting more egg on his face. Honestly this little weasel should just shut the fuck up and let the police investigation take its course. If he really felt that the nature of the first woman’s complaint was significant he should have made a big deal out of it at the time. John Key sacking Mr Worth and bluntly cutting down his legs to office has stolen Goff’s thunder now he is trying to make political capital on it before time runs out. The reality is that National has exposed its own mud and has not required Goff to dig it up. He should go look for another issue to spit verbal diarrhoea over!
June 6th, 2009 at 8:16 pm
You sound like an apologist. No one’s condoning Worth’s behaviour? That might be true but the PM’s not dealt with the matter quickly or decisively enough. First he didn’t adequately examine the matter, then he didn’t accurately assess the significance of the behaviour and and only finally moved to deal with it when the entire Press Gallery was on it. Worth’s history as a wannabe Lothario, his dubious business ethics, his boorishness generally; these surely were enough to exclude him from Cabinet in the first place? If Key had the mandate to assemble his best team, which surely he did, why he appoint this clown?
June 6th, 2009 at 8:37 pm
There are so many disturbing comments here. I suggest you all band together and bulk purchase psychiatric help.
Goff went to Key privately to spare Mrs Worth the indignity of having to go through all of this publicly.
If it was a Labour MP misbehaving I bet that there would have been continuous leaks, hints in blogs, all sorts of public comments and the Labour MP would have been hung out to dry for political advantage.
Goff did not do this. He adopted a very civilised approach to dealing with what is a personal tragedy for one of your lot.
Squirm and rant and rave as much as you want. This issue will cost Worth his job and will continuously suck at Key’s political capital for as long as he dithers about it.
Forget the conspiracy theories. Acknowledge that Goff has been magnanimous about this. WTF, don’t. Keep up your bile.
Many people who were sucked in last year to voting National are now realising they made a bad mistake because of this issue.
June 6th, 2009 at 8:41 pm
“First he didn’t adequately examine the matter”
Look Paul, he had no evidence to make a judgement. Not even Phil Goff had the so called texts or emails. Besides, John Key made his move when a complainant took a matter to the police. After that Goof Off says, “Hey, there was this other lady……. I knew about it several months ago…….Shes a strikingly beautiful Korean woman you know……..I could not produce the TEXTs or the emails at the time so I kept my mouth shut……… Now that I have lost my opportunity for political gain from it because the Casanova wannabe has screwed up again I am going to blurt it out anyway to salvage whatever kudos I can……Who cares if the strikingly beautiful Korean woman wants the matter to be kept private.
Paul, you sound like you enjoy digging holes in the mud with your fellow Labour Party researchers. All I am alluding to is that the more Goof Off keeps going on about it like a broken record, the more of a Jerk Off he sounds. He does not care about the aggrieved. He just cares about his own popularity.

Jack5 at 3.26 p.m.
It is intelligent comments like yours that make this blog the most educational on the net.
Thank you.
I had been lambasted for using the term misanthropic when describing Labour Party women. Now I know that the correct term is, as you have so poignantly pointed out, they are misandrists.
Eg armoto, I must polish up my knowledge of classical Greek. Goff with his skooleeki poutsa. And his female colleagues with their xero moonies.
June 6th, 2009 at 8:46 pm
Mickey Savage, are you also aware the Phil Goff woman is not the same woman who went to the police? Phil did not have the emails or the Texts to back up his accusations. Now that another incident has come to the fore, he wants to bring his historic allegation public and embarrass the poor woman concerned for his own political kudos!
When there was evidence on the current case, John Key has taken decisive action.
June 6th, 2009 at 9:00 pm
Grizz
Yes.
The first woman is Indian, married with two children and a member of the Labour party.
The second is a Korean businesswoman.
Phil had sufficient information to go to Key. You and all the others do not seem to realise that it was not a trial process. Goff went to Key to help him deal with a minister that needed controlling. Privately. Without the slightest hint of political advantage. In the hope that it could be resolved without Mrs Worth being publicly humiliated.
Goff did not publicise it. Key did after the Korean woman’s complaint surfaced. Goff’s expectation of political advantage was NIL. Zero. Nothing. Nought. Zilch. Hard to understand perhaps but true.
If you wingnuts wish to keep twisting this perhaps we could coordinate your efforts so that the State Highway 20 tunnels could be drilled without further expense to the public purse.
June 6th, 2009 at 9:08 pm
“Phil had sufficient information to go to Key”
Bullsit Mickey – picture this for a moment. If Key simply telephoned Goff with allegations that one of his activists reported that say Mallard had been making unwelcome sexual advances with offers of work ….How do you think Goff would respond? remember, no evidence, no names, just a party activists word at that point.
(like first think how Improbable it would be offering work to an opponent party activist?)
June 6th, 2009 at 9:15 pm
Patrick
Whatever.
In the future there should be no private approaches where it is evident there are personal difficulties. Next time Goff should ask a question in parliament.
Fine by me but is that what you really want?
Remember that Phil did not commence litigation but wanted to have a private chat with Key to suggest that things may not be great on planet National.
You guys should stop fighting. Just say thanks Phil for the heads up, in the future everything should be done publicly.
BTW the Korean woman’s complaint was the thing that made this issue become public. Goff and the Indian women have been most discrete in the way they have handled this.
June 6th, 2009 at 9:20 pm
mickey – answer the question please “How do you think Goff would respond? remember, no evidence, no names, just a party activists word at that point?
June 6th, 2009 at 9:35 pm
Patrick
Easy
1. He would get details of the complaint.
2. He would search for corroborative evidence and have witnesses/complainants interviewed.
3. He would talk to the person concerned.
4. He would consider the issues raised.
5. He would make a decision.
I do not think that Key has done any of this.
Sorry but I should make this clear, the expectation of the Goff approach was that maybe in the future after a cabinet reshuffle Worth may be demoted AND there would be a private conversation indicating that the conduct complained of was not acceptable.
Instant scalps were not expected.
June 6th, 2009 at 9:41 pm

You really think the Goffster’s gonna be a problem for national?
bwaaaa haaaaa haaaa!!!!!!
June 6th, 2009 at 9:44 pm
Gee… I bet John Boy is starting to get fed up with what these strikingly beautiful Korean women are doing to his party. wonder what this one thought about the South Auckland crims in their cars in between being cybered by the minister. Was it “Yes, minister”, or “Maybe, Minister”….. hahahaha. Ooohhh we wouldn’t the poor dear’s NAME to be exposed, would we? That would never do….

Watch the poll tomorrow evening and the Mt Albert poll next Saturday.
I spoke to a few of them today. They are changing their minds.
Want to address the issues?

2./impossible, the complainant was never offered, all entirely confidential. Even Goff admits that
3./check

5./check
you forget how improbable it would be offering work to an opponent party activist – not even Key would think Worth was that stupid
Dave Mann get it right, The sexist strikingly beautiful comment from Goff was about the Indian woman
June 6th, 2009 at 9:52 pm
…. Oh, sorry. It was the Indian who was strikingly beautiful, wasn’t it? Or was it? I can’t keep up (not in THAT sense, you understand hahahah – in the current affairs sense). Anyway… has anybody secured an interview with Mrs Worth yet?
June 6th, 2009 at 9:57 pm
“has anybody secured an interview with Mrs Worth yet?”
are you interested in examining the level of misery?
June 6th, 2009 at 10:02 pm
“Want to address the issues?”
Ok, how about the fact that the Cullen train set is now valued at only 340 million, or ACC, or that after 10 years of a left wing govt, health, education and law and order are in the wonderful state they are in.
Me thinks you need more than a couple of dirty text messages for the empire to strike back.
June 6th, 2009 at 10:06 pm
Ah Patrick Starr, yes, I get it. Calling a woman ‘strikingly beautiful’ is ‘SEXIST’!! yeah… of course… how un-PC to recognise a person’s gender. Naughty old Phil.
Actually, it is an interesting nuance and a telling commentary of our times that the last government was run by a cabal of butch lesbians and pooftahs, whereas this government has become wracked with angst and scandal over a heterosexual white man’s sex drive.
June 6th, 2009 at 10:13 pm
Shunda
One issue at a time. The train set is the most important strategic purchase the government has made in a long time and ACC is fundamentally fine. It is a social fund and not a business. Law and order is in remarkably good shape.
But what the hey let’s talk about the current issue. The other issues can be addressed in separate postings.
So you agree that Worth sent the textes? So should he remain a Minister?
June 6th, 2009 at 10:23 pm
The main issues here that I see are:
(a) Liarbore has engineered and milked this to its fullest extent, mickey’s comments notwithstanding.
(b) not withstanding point (a), for any politician let alone a Minister, to behave in the way Worth is alleged to have, if proven, requires instant and complete excoriation and expulsion.
Personally, I’m sick of politicians using the excuse they can behave like fucking sleaze bags just cause it’s a “human thing” and I’m sick of people (common in esp the media and in those who study politics), who excuse such behaviour on the grounds that “they’re only human.”
To ALL POLITICIANS:
You stand, you STAND, for office. That means, you STAND for something. Part of what you STAND for, a LARGE part, is integrity.
You PRETEND to have it. You PRETEND that we can TRUST you. If you can’t even conduct yourselves in such a way that your OWN FAMILIES can trust you, then WHAT THE FUCK WORTH ARE YOU AS A POLITICIAN?
Newsflash you self-serving, arrogant, ignorant, pompous, pretentious pricks. If you want to lead us, you need to set an example. An excellent example. We are NOT a piece of dirt that you can tread on as you wend your way toward whatever fantasy you’ve set yourself in your own mind. If one of your number fails to live up to the model of LEADERSHIP then we EXPECT the rest of you immediately, to EXPEL them from your ranks without compensation and with alacrity.
It’s a privilege to be elected, NOT A RIGHT. YOU need to remember that. ALWAYS.
June 6th, 2009 at 10:26 pm
Mr Goff’s real friends would take away his shovel, refill the hole and put him in rehab. quickly, quietly and with love abounding. Poor bugger.
June 6th, 2009 at 10:30 pm
Reid
(a) bollocks
(b) agreed
The rest – agreed
Goff made a private approach to deal with this. What better example could you hope for?
June 6th, 2009 at 10:32 pm
Mickey, if he hadn’t tried to subsequently milk it with timed release of certain tidbits, I’d agree.
He did.

Satire: “Strikingly Beautiful”
An Indian businessman living in East Coast Bays, Auckland, Dr Rajjie Chandra Wickramasingh, founder of See-thru Saree Enterprises Ltd, has put up prize money of $15,000 today for the first person to publicly identity the female “Labour Party activist” described by Labour Party leader Hon. Phillipe Gaffe in the NZ Herald yesterday as “strikingly beautiful”. She is the “Indian lady” who Gaffe claims has been in very close communication with him, on a daily basis since November 26 last year, over serious allegations she has made against recently resigned Cabinet Minister Dr Richie Worthy.
Gaffe recently made public her allegations that Dr Worthy sent her “a littany of lurid and salacious text messages offering her a job in exchange for intimate romantic liasons” (“money for se# ” as the NZ Herald called it). Gaffe, a willing conduit of this so-called “text sleaze”, collected, classified, collated, condensed and concisely catalogued each and every one of the 100-odd “intimate” texts the woman passed on to him over a period of several months, before raising his deep and abiding concerns over the matter privately with the Prime Minister, the Rt Hon. Jon Keys, to whom Worthy is accountable. The texts themselves were not offered or provided as evidence supporting the woman’s claims, by Gaffe to Keys, only his lucid and concise summaries of their contents. These included Gaffe’s lurid details on See-thru Sarees Dr Worthy was asking the woman to wear on overseas holidays with him and lurid locations he suggested they share liasons in for “moonlit tropical skinny-dipping encounters on forbidden tropical islands”.
Mr Gaffe has been inadvertently drip-feeding valuable clues to the public concerning the mystery woman’s identity, including details of her ethnic origin – (“Indian”), her “Labour Party activism”, the offer of “the job of ethnic affairs adviser” she is claimed to have received from Dr Worthy, and “lurid” details of her “lurid” cell phone communications with Dr Worthy of a “lurid” se#ual nature. Gaffe asserts that each and every one of the “lurid” calls, based on his three month long analysis, were signed off under the code “XXX”. He told the NZ Herald that after consulting with the Chief Censor, he had determined this was a code for “Warning: contains objectionable R18 content”. Gaffe says he relayed this finding to the woman, whose husband he says (yes he was in daily contact with him too!) was greatly relieved, as he had thought the “XXX” code had a more sinister and sensual interpretation.
(NOTE: Clue: Gaffe has revealed that the “strikingly beautiful” Indian Labour Party Activist woman IS MARRIED).
The prize money offered by Dr Wickramasinghe is open to anyone who can verify the full name of the woman concerned, post a picture of her on any public website and refer the details to NZPA (news@nzpa.co.nz).
Many journalists and bloggers will be working furiously through the night in pursuit of this prize money, aware that Mr Gaffe may well be releasing further gaffes as to the lady’s identity, quite inadvertently, in late night or early morning media releases and interviews.
“It’s money for jam,” said gossip columnist Melanie Mindless, who runs a blog exposing corruption among female covert activists within the Labour Party.
Dr Wickramasinghe has told media today that Mr Gaffe, members of his immediate whanau, Labour party activists and employees of See-Thru Saree Enterprises Ltd. are all excluded from the competition and will be ineligible for prize money they may lay claim to should they compete and win.

You are a wan#er.
Many lefties know who the woman is. Her name is F*&k Y^u.
There is this major disjoint here. Goff and she have behaved exceptionally well. I have this desire to say F#$k y@u and we should just publicise everything. Last time we try to behave in a civilised manner.
June 6th, 2009 at 10:48 pm
“Last time we try to behave in a civilised manner.”
Mickey, you’re not seriously suggesting Liarbore haven’t tried to milk this?
If so, perhaps you could give us your timeline.
I’d be happy to collate one from the conservative side. [But, won't be tonight, sorry, have other things to do, but will do it, if you respond.]

She is strikingly beautiful, her fair moves like silk in the cool breeze, her smile is a radiant burst of sunlight in my life. Is Goff annoyed that the slobbering old fool hit on someone he rather fancies.

Let’s be fair in Goff. Those aren’t his words: they are David Benson-Pope’s.
What actually happened was that Goff was asked by a journalist to describe the mystery lady (sorry, woman, She ain’t no lady.) Unfortunately his Orwellian vocabulary did not have the capacity to cope with the question, so he had to think further afield.
Then he remembered the occasion that David Benson-Pope shared a urinal with him. DBP was reminiscing about peeking through the hole in the door to the girls’ showers, and made particular reference to a ‘strikingly beautiful’ girl in form 3B.
Goff replied; “But she would have been…..what?…..twelve.”
“Yes”, replied DBP with a sigh. “But she had the body of a fourteen year old!”

To be fair to Goff, the back end of a south-bound bus would be strikingly attractive benchmarked against the radiator grilles, bumper bars and headlights of his party’s damsels.

I am thouroughly amused at the faux outrage and the “defender of the damsel” attitude by the left here. Especially from a male who wanted to lower the age of consent to 12 and a party that protected a man who liked to spy an schoolgirls in the shower. Give me a break.

“the woman was strikingly beautiful”
Philin should stop looking in the mirror.

Soooo….manufacturing jobs disappearing every week, unemployment set to rise to 8%, Sealord workers still facing the chop, former LWR workers out in the cold etc etc etc…and the leader of the NZ Labour party, the inheritor of the NZ Labour movement is spending his time obsessing over a “strikingly beautiful” women and a dirty old fart.
Ok.
Labour chances of winning the next election: 0%.
Get it up Phil!

Phil should just step aside and let Labour’s media experts* handle this – they were doing this just fine without him turning it into a real goof show…

Evidence that Goff is returning Labour back to it’s non feminist roots? i.e. repudiation of Helen Clark’s PCness by being a man and calling a woman beautiful, what’s wrong with that?
Celebrating a woman’s femininity is a good thing, but still a bit mushy with the ‘strikingly’ bit, would have sufficed to just say that she was an attractive woman…
