Oh dear. I think for once I am lost for words. Probably will double the majority in Waitakere though!

Wow, irony.

The leopard who did change it’s spots chooses a leopardskin car. I guess the camoflage is to lull the Westies into a false sense of security before she attacks them again, much like the real thing.

Ha you just gotta love this woman – that is priceless. I get the feeling she will be the MP for life – oh how labour must hate her – she has stepped into their heartland and has made herself quite at home.

I am more interested in the dice hanging on the mirror. I thought that meant you’ve had a shag in the car. Now looking at the car and knowing Miss Bennett’s ample frame I am intrigued. Did she shag the car????

Not sure about a blazer, but she certainly has a matching coat – see update to my post at g.blog.

I know Phil, I did say "hope" though. I am surprised however it wasn't rolled out as an example of how National are creating jobs to keep car painters employed during the recesion.

What is that hanging from the rearview mirror – looks like one of those scrub things you use in the shower with body wash.

Guess that as a busy Minister who doesn’t read that quickly she didn’t find the time to buy the fluffy dice before the pic was taken, Madeleine. So she had to improvise.

Who gives a toss if the taxpayer paid for the paint job, at least it’s up front and in your face, especially if your an “old trougher”.
It really says Fuck You to the old boys club, and its much better value for money than a free first class ticket to London for Sir Roger.

Agreed, DPF. This is the sort of populism that in local government keeps Tim Shadbolt elected in Invercargill and Michael Laws elected in Whanganui, and will also no doubt serve Paula well.

Voters love it – it’s all about personality. Really sad, actually!

How do we get voters to engage more with the substance of policy?

Gee Toad is it that time of the month or is it the full moon that sends you melons mad? Six posts on how an MP’s car is painted. And what would be suitable in your eyes, perhaps a green paint job and then it would be like Kermit the frogs car, something more up your alley ?.

Was it cheap populism when a certain 40-year-old MP wore dreads and was photographed skateboarding to work?

Somehow I don’t recollect you demanding his supporters ‘engage more with the substance of policy’. It was more like ‘toke up, and vote Green’.

In my view, voters are surprised and delighted to see an MP who isn’t so swollen with self-importance (Exhibit One – a certain J Tizard) that they can still take the piss out of themselves.

You really don’t get where I am coming from, do you? I agree with you re Tizard – she was the worst MP to ever become a Minister, although Benson-Pope, Field and Peters probably blotted their copybooks mor than Tizard after becoming Ministers.

But Tizards’s track record re achievement (or lack thereof) has to be the worst. Don’t accuse me of being a Labour stoolie bobux! I have no more time for Labour’s populist, bigoted, and unprincipled politics than I do for that of the Nats.

Just have a look at Mallard vacillalting on section 59 over at Red Alert until he saw which way the wind was blowing.

At least the Greens front up, however unpopular their position may be, because they are a party of principle.

How the hell did she manage to stretch a pair of Westie chick’s knickers over that car? If Mallard follows this I expect to see a big Ugg Boot on wheels with a fat arse in tights not too far behind. Sorry Judith.

Hmmm. That gets me to imagining the potential offspring of a Rodney and Paula coupling. Now THAT would be an MP that would change the world!

The car is made by Nissan-S-Cargo taken after the french’s citroen delivery wagon. Toad, it is only 1500 CC and carries two people, but loads of stuff in the back being a van. It puts less carbon in the air than what you greenies drive. You should be happy she drives it. If you are bagging on her reputation, then you should bag on Sue Bradford’s as well. Lately, she has been bringing the word “democracy” in her arguments. She doesn’t know what democracy means. By the way, this car is over 20 years old. I think it is a great symbolism of what you can do with little money and a great imagination. I applaud her for it.

What a lot of utter crap.

The Greens are the biggest bunch bunch of crooks in the house, you campaign on a lie, you rort the system to get Red Russ into the house so he can solicit votes at my expense, for years and years you have released “policy” documents that are uncosted, you make claims that are obviously false, you have no time for, or interest in, democracy and worst of all most of your unelected MP’s hide their true political leanings.

The Greens are many things Toad, a party of “principal” they are most definitely not.

You really don’t get where I’m coming from, do you.

My point is that all parties have MP’s that use gimmicks and stunts to attract attention. You are conspicuously silent on the Green’s middle-aged skateboarder.

I didn’t suggest you would defend Tizard, – I merely used her an an example of a pompous self-important MP. I’m delighted to find we are in agreement about her utter uselessness, but surprised to find you are so defensive.
