		<description>Evidence that Goff is returning Labour back to it&#039;s non feminist roots? i.e. repudiation of Helen Clark&#039;s PCness by being a man and calling a woman beautiful, what&#039;s wrong with that? 

Celebrating a woman&#039;s femininity is a good thing, but still a bit mushy with the &#039;strikingly&#039; bit, would have sufficed to just say that she was an attractive woman...</description>

		<description>I am thouroughly amused at the faux outrage and the &quot;defender of the damsel&quot; 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.</description>

		<description>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&#039;s damsels.</description>

		<description>Let&#039;s be fair in Goff.  Those aren&#039;t his words: they are David Benson-Pope&#039;s.

What actually happened was that Goff was asked by a journalist to describe the mystery lady (sorry, woman, She ain&#039;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&#039; showers, and made particular reference to a &#039;strikingly beautiful&#039; girl in form 3B.

Goff replied; &quot;But she would have been.....what?.....twelve.&quot;

&quot;Yes&quot;, replied DBP with a sigh.  &quot;But she had the body of a fourteen year old!&quot;</description>

		<description>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.</description>

		<description>&quot;Last time we try to behave in a civilised manner.&quot;

Mickey, you&#039;re not seriously suggesting Liarbore haven&#039;t tried to milk this?

If so, perhaps you could give us your timeline.

I&#039;d be happy to collate one from the conservative side. [But, won&#039;t be tonight, sorry, have other things to do, but will do it, if you respond.]</description>

You are a wan#er.  

Many lefties know who the woman is.  Her name is F*&amp;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.</description>

		<description>Satire: &quot;Strikingly Beautiful&quot;

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 &quot;Labour Party activist&quot; described by Labour Party leader Hon. Phillipe Gaffe in the NZ Herald yesterday as &quot;strikingly beautiful&quot;. She is the &quot;Indian lady&quot; 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 &quot;a littany of lurid and salacious text messages offering her a job in exchange for intimate romantic liasons&quot; (&quot;money for se# &quot; as the NZ Herald called it). Gaffe, a willing conduit of this so-called &quot;text sleaze&quot;, collected, classified, collated, condensed and concisely catalogued each and every one of the 100-odd &quot;intimate&quot; 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&#039;s claims, by Gaffe to Keys, only his lucid and concise summaries of their contents. These included Gaffe&#039;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 &quot;moonlit tropical skinny-dipping encounters on forbidden tropical islands&quot;.    
 
Mr Gaffe has been inadvertently drip-feeding valuable clues to the public concerning the mystery woman&#039;s identity, including details of her ethnic origin - (&quot;Indian&quot;), her &quot;Labour Party activism&quot;, the offer of &quot;the job of ethnic affairs adviser&quot; she is claimed to have received from Dr Worthy, and &quot;lurid&quot; details of her &quot;lurid&quot; cell phone communications with Dr Worthy of a &quot;lurid&quot; se#ual nature. Gaffe asserts that each and every one of the &quot;lurid&quot; calls, based on his three month long analysis, were signed off under the code &quot;XXX&quot;. He told the NZ Herald that after consulting with the Chief Censor, he had determined this was a code for &quot;Warning: contains objectionable R18 content&quot;. 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 &quot;XXX&quot; code had a more sinister and sensual interpretation.
 
(NOTE: Clue: Gaffe has revealed that the &quot;strikingly beautiful&quot; 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&#039;s identity, quite inadvertently, in late night or early morning media releases and interviews.
 
&quot;It&#039;s money for jam,&quot; 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.</description>

		<description>The main issues here that I see are:

(a) Liarbore has engineered and milked this to its fullest extent, mickey&#039;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&#039;m sick of politicians using the excuse they can behave like fucking sleaze bags just cause it&#039;s a &quot;human thing&quot; and I&#039;m sick of people (common in esp the media and in those who study politics), who excuse such behaviour on the grounds that &quot;they&#039;re only human.&quot;

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&#039;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&#039;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&#039;s a privilege to be elected, NOT A RIGHT. YOU need to remember that. ALWAYS.</description>
		<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>The main issues here that I see are:</p>
<p>(a) Liarbore has engineered and milked this to its fullest extent, mickey&#8217;s comments notwithstanding.<br />
(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.</p>
<p>Personally, I&#8217;m sick of politicians using the excuse they can behave like fucking sleaze bags just cause it&#8217;s a &#8220;human thing&#8221; and I&#8217;m sick of people (common in esp the media and in those who study politics), who excuse such behaviour on the grounds that &#8220;they&#8217;re only human.&#8221;</p>
<p>To ALL POLITICIANS:</p>
<p>You stand, you STAND, for office. That means, you STAND for something. Part of what you STAND for, a LARGE part, is integrity.</p>
<p>You PRETEND to have it. You PRETEND that we can TRUST you. If you can&#8217;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?</p>

		<description>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&#039;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?</description>

		<description>Ah Patrick Starr, yes, I get it. Calling a woman &#039;strikingly beautiful&#039; is &#039;SEXIST&#039;!! yeah... of course... how un-PC to recognise a person&#039;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&#039;s  sex drive.</description>

		<description>&quot;Want to address the issues?&quot;

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.</description>
