Key counsels Harper on sex scandals

Amused to read this by Audrey Young:

How did you feel about being caught up in the middle of an incredible scandal in Canada?

Well, given that it dominated all the questions on the Canadian side [of conference], it shows that universally sex sells. don't even claim to understand it nor could I even understand the question, given that it was in French. But it sounds interesting.

Perhaps Prime Minister Stephen Harper asked for your advice because you sacked a minister, , last year and didn't tell the media why?

It wasn't lost on me that there were similarities.

Did you pass that on to Mr Harper?

I did actually.

I always wondered with Prime Ministers talked about when thet got together. It seems is it something like this:

NZ PM: Well I had one Minister who had this thing for Asian women – he even tried sleeping with a candidate.

Canadian PM: Ha – I can beat that. I had a female Minister who was arranging threesomes with prostitutes for her and her husband.

NZ PM: But my one used taxpayer money to fly his girls to

Canadian PM: Well my one used her own money, but to buy cocaine

NZ PM: Okay, you win

Back to Audrey's story:

The King of Jordan came over and saw me. He has absolutely perfect English. Obviously educated in England, in one of those public schools I'd say.

A very English accent. He said to me he's keen to come to New Zealand. He wants to bring his motorbike and drive down the South Island. He's apparently famous for it. He apparently drives his protection people absolutely crazy.

Heh I can just imagine it – the King of Jordan hooning along the South Island. And with diplomatic immunity I'm guessing he'll be doing 200 km/hr on the Canterbury Plains.
