Quote of the day

A few minutes ago from Winston Peters to Helen Clark:

“Does the Prime Minister recall John Tamihere and Clayton Cosgrove threatening to resign if George Hawkins is removed from Cabinet, and if so why does she not sack George Hawkins as Minister of Police and get two extra for free?”

Even Clark was smiling at the possibility. incidentially talking of Clayton Cosgrove I understand his Labour colleagues now refer to him as Eddie Munster. Labour MPs are great at coming up with nasty nicknames for each other, as David Cunliffe found out.
