DOES WINSTON HAVE ALZHEIMERS - OR SOMETHING LIKE IT

We wonder if the greatest political trougher in living legend has finally lost his marbles. Winston has given a speech to the Kawarau and Districts branch of Grey Power. Wow, now thats an influential group if ever there was.

He is making a play for a return to centre stage.

Interesting really, when we hear that many of his old colleagues are getting all sweaty because of intense police scrutiny.

His speech is peppered with Winstonisms and marshmallow racism ( Winston is chocolate on the outside but squishy white inside) with phrases like "Tsunami of Immigrants"

He talks about the lack of integrity of some politicians... Ahhh Winston , Winston , we remember the night at Nicolinis... Do you?

And we also know where there are four boxes of documents, where the futures of many including Winston still rest.

Will this make Eumenides wake from the slumber?

So if Winston wants to comeback - good - we have been really bored.

ROARPRAWN DROWNED OUT BY CALLS FOR HOKI/SCAMPI INQUIRY

Wellington Hive and Kiwi blog are both calling for An Anti - Corruption Commission to be set up with one of the first tasks being to investigate Scampi and Hoki and Meurant and all the rest of the corrupt bribing buggers involved.

We could not agree more and we hope that Rodney Hide stays staunch on this issue.

EUMENIDES

We love helicopters ands we are still giggling over the fact that it was one that stopped the red tide in its tracks. It was Eumenides providing the documented proof of the relationship between Peters, Meurant and the Velas in the form of a helicopter that was the final nail in the Axis coffin. It was Peters denial of the use of that helicopter and the subsequent pictures of the said helicopters that resonated with voters who finally realised their political god had clay feet. Peters was Clarks last hope and Eumenides last furious stroke smote him down and took her with him.

We think that Eumenides should be in the New Years Honours list for services to the nation.

And if you think that Vela is left wing - think again - the $200,000 he donated to the Axis that was Peters and Clark was just play money. And he loves playing.

Beware the furies

Who is likely to have an interest in the Winston Peters Corruption Scandal.


Ross Armstrong, was the chairman of TVNZ , He was part of the National Party hierarchy for many years and he studies the classics – namely Thomas Aquinas. His love of Greek mythology and plotting is well known. He also has had interests in the Seafood industry and was a close associate of Ross Meurant. If fact he was instrumental in Meurant becoming an MP.
