I showed that video to my mother when it first came out and she was speechless and couldn’t believe a senior politician would be involved. My mother is never speechless. In the 70 years she has been around, never been speechless once.

Warning: This video is rated R18.

Which raises an interesting question. Should we as a nation be pissed enough to vote in the Corrupt Labour and Green parties as our government would that mean we would have two Green deputy Prime Ministers?

Well, as someone who lost his political career over something in the dim past, i dont think we should be holding this silliness against Turei – especially when there is no shortage of contemporary silliness to hold against her.

How old is this footage? Twenty years or so judging by how she looks…

David Garrett – this was the Parliamentary recess that has just been or a few days before it. It’s only a couple of months old.

Yeah sorry David Garrett, it’s very recent:

Published on 31 Dec 2013
Clan McGillicuddy battle with the Waitati Militia on New Year’s Eve in a small seaside town in Otago, New Zealand.

(from the Youtube video – I won’t post the clip again)

Note also that it is taking place at a faux castle – which is Material Turei’s home as reported in the Otago Daily Times:
http://www.odt.co.nz/news/dunedin/286986/video-militia-mayhem-and-madness-waitati

Hence Tolley’s comment about her living in a castle is literal.

OK, it might be recent…so what? There is much more damaging Green silliness to focus on rather than this…

This is the woman who spent a year, in her own words a year, analysing Judith Collin’s comment and still got it wrong.

I agree with RightNow.

Prepare your mental mind scrub.

Don’t read further.

But you had to, didn’t you.

Alright then.

Let’s hope Darien never releases a twerking video.

There are children in NZ going to school hungry because their parents can’t afford a sandwich, and Greens are throwing flour at each other for shits and giggles. Can’t they see how immoral it is to pelt each other with food when others are starving?

But… The woman actually LIVES IN A CASTLE. How spacey is that? And she invites the local peasants around to amuse her while she dresses up and plays with her cannon.

I think you’ve missed the point.

The video says a lot about Turei.

It also says a lot about the sort of people who are most likely to vote for Turei.

I’m SCARED that the narcissist Silent T , the furtive little Australian rodent Wussel and she of the heaving norks and arse Turei, will soon have any power whatsoever. So much slippery slope has already slid down in politics that I have no confidence that we won’t soon face this horror.

Garrett, playing dress up, no matter how silly it appears to you or me, and in your spare time, is nothing like falsifying documents to claim the identity of a deceased infant… nor getting involved in a bar fight, nor lying about your convictions.

FALSE. EQUIVALENCE.

Turei can and should be able to spend her leisure time how she sees fit so long as it’s legal and doesn’t hurt anyone else.

David, this is beneath you mate.

Heaven forbid that people have things that they do for FUN, in their own time, huh DPF?

(Remind me what your NY marathon time was, again, I don’t quite remember 😛 )

Anyway, for completeness:

Mix-a-lot:
I like ’em round, and big
And when I’m throwin’ a gig
I just can’t help myself, I’m actin’ like an animal
Now here’s my scandal
I wanna get you home
And ugh, double-up, ugh, ugh
I ain’t talkin’ bout Playboy
‘Cause silicone parts are made for toys
I want ’em real thick and juicy
So find that juicy double
Mix-a-Lot’s in trouble
Beggin’ for a piece of that bubble
So I’m lookin’ at rock videos
Knock-kneeded bimbos walkin’ like hoes
You can have them bimbos
I’ll keep my women like Flo Jo
A word to the thick soul sisters, I wanna get with ya
I won’t cuss or hit ya
But I gotta be straight when I say I wanna *fuck*
Till the break of dawn
Baby got it goin’ on
A lot of simps won’t like this song
‘Cause them punks like to hit it and quit it
And I’d rather stay and play
‘Cause I’m long, and I’m strong
And I’m down to get the friction on
So, ladies! {Yeah!} Ladies! {Yeah}
If you wanna roll in my Mercedes {Yeah!}
Then turn around! Stick it out!
Even white boys got to shout
Baby got back

So much so they can afford to throw food and flour-bombs around.

RightNow, perhaps. I do think its entirely wrong to attempt to discredit Turei simply ’cause she likes amateur dramatics. I suspect Simon Bridges reads John Grisham, listens to Supertramp and wears boatshoes, but it’s his inability to keep his cool in television interviews that makes me think him unfit for Ministerial office.

What you said earlier is absolutely correct Paul:
“Turei can and should be able to spend her leisure time how she sees fit so long as it’s legal and doesn’t hurt anyone else.”
In fact, as far as I’m concerned, I don’t even care if she indulges in some currently illegal activity as long as it doesn’t hurt anyone else.
My point was that it’s already in the public domain, and just because some of us think it’s funny (or whatever) doesn’t mean she can’t do it.
The video cha posted of John Key earned him a lot of ridicule from certain quarters, for example. It even made me cringe. And he got slammed by those same quarters for his Letterman appearance. It’s all fair game don’t you think?

So essentially what all of you trolls are saying is that you don’t like people who do Live Action Role Play (LARPing). Personally, I find it a little weird, but live and let live. Is it really worth as much bile as you’re spewing? Step away from the keyboard and get some perspective

Since when did we all turn into the fun police? Not my style of fun, to be sure, but if Turei wants to do it and isn’t harming anyone else then what’s the harm in her joining in?

I still think her politics suck. And that Anne Tolley is right, the Greens are all just full of middle class guilt and assume that only they can cure poverty by increasing dependency on the state and taxpayers.

Well at the risk of sounding like a curmudgeonly old bastard…..which I am….if this daft woman wants to be seen as “respectable”
and worthy of one of the highest positions in this country. Attend the opera, or ballet, or visit an art gallery.

Perception is everything in politics…the perception of this person is one of idiocy, and may God forgive & save us all if we allow her to get her & her watermelon compatriots ankles under the seat(s) of power.

Every vote will count this time.

A little weird? People who LARP give roleplayers a bad name – even worse than the parody of roleplaying they did on Big Bang Theory (which is probably all the exposure most people have had to the past time).

, but live and let live.

In that spirit I tried it once but they threw me out when I chucked a D20 at a guy and got a critical hit (Head Shot, Subtable – Eye). His cardboard helm was no match for the Icosahedron of Doom.

RRM is quite right – you’re trying to take Whale’s place now that he’s been offline for a while DPF – what people do in their spare time is entirely their own business – you reaching new lows trying to base put downs on this sort of stuff. Woman’s Weekly – here we come!

Right of way is Way of Right

So, a plot summary so far.

(Cue the theme music from SOAP.)

Meteria told Anne that she was out of touch.

Anne asked who the hell was Meteria to say she was out of touch, because Meteria has no friends, lives in a castle, and wears expensive clothes.

Meteria didn’t know what to do, so started running around shouting ‘Anne is a RACIST!’

Anne’s friend Judith said Meteria was too sensitive, and probably paid too much for her jacket anyway.

Meteria didn’t know what to do, so started running around shouting ‘Judith is a RACIST’.

Judith said, ‘Meteria, have you met my Pasifika husband, David?’

David said ‘Hello Meteria!’

Metreia ran back to her castle, the one she bought with a 100% mortgage, threw foodstuffs at people, twerked, and complained that all these white women saying she was out of touch with New Zealanders had to just be RACIST.
