PUSSY WHIPPED

So the West Coast hard boy Damien O'Connor is a limpy.

He apologised. Okay it was a half hearted apology but it was still an apology.

So he is a loser. Not staunch, not principled, just pussy whipped by the gaggling gays who are probably just jealous of all the good looking frilly knickered bintys he scores.

Sad bastard. Hope he gets kicked out of the Good Bastard club

GAY GEESE AND GAGGLING GIRLS

We have already blogged on what we see as a very dangerous development for Labour - the rise and rise of Andrew Little and his comrades - a flea bitten motley crew of die hard unionists, know for their strong arm tactics and crimson red philosophies.

Actually its got to be said - these unionists who have a huge influence on Little, are actually commie cuddlers.

So we think the Damien O'Connor is a wise and brave man. He has told Labour leaders to stick their party list up some well worn arses , as he believe its stacked with and by unionists and a " gaggle of gays"

Mr O'Connor said he stood aside because he did not trust the list ranking process. "Frankly, I didn't trust the system to give a straight-shooter a fair deal ... It is dominated by self-serving unionists and a gaggle of gays."

He would not name individuals, but said he was disappointed the system did not deliver better results for rural and provincial candidates, such as himself, who were outside the party's power blocs.

"It does not truly represent the rank-and-file members and delivers a list that is not truly representative of those who vote Labour."

Damien used to flat with John Tamihere - so his verbal skills have been well honed during lengthy conversations over weetbix. So they share a loathing of power hungry, muff loving front bums

While O'Connor has never been a high fligher, and he was known as a particularly dithering Minister, he is a staunch supporter of the West Coast and sits so far to the right of Labour he would probably have found a comfy pozzy in National.

But he is right about Labours list - it has few stand out candidates, there are too many commie cuddlers for most Labour voting urban liberals and there are too many people of alternative sexual persuasions for the commie cuddlers.

Damien is well respected on the Coast and if he gets his shit together, and doesn't get sidetracked by some skinny bint in frilly knickers he might just snatch the seat off Chris Auchinvole.

As for Labour, they are being rooted , in the worst possible way, by that " gaggle of gays."

UPDATE - and Gonzo has squizz at what Labour might look like in the future..

OHH BY GUM - MORE TROUBLE 'T MILL

Crikey what is Keeping Stock playing at! - He kept the most juiciest salubrious new info at the end of his latest post on the Darren Hughes affair.

Apparently, according to Chris Trotter - in an interview with Larry Williams - Goff and King positions will be untenable following what he thinks will be more revelations yet to surface.

Ahh that will be sweet music to

Andrew Little's buddies like Roger Middlemass, Calvin Fisher and Ray Bianchi and Helen Kelly.

Watch the Rise and Rise of Andrew Little.

BEST BLOG OF THE DAY

Lindsay Mitchell always has a considered take on political events and today is no exception.

She puts politics and the Darren Hughes Affair in its place.

Read it here.

We also watched Goff on Q and A today - he was not impressive. And tonight TVone news focussed on the disconnect between Goff and party prez Andrew Little.

While we think that Labour would be stupid to replace Goff leading up to the election we were quite surprised to see a clip on Marae of Shane Jones in a potae and a tie today -and he was minus the humourous banter. He was all serious and statesman like. So what, we wonder is he up to?

He has been a numbers man in the past and will be again. He is one of the few in Labour to have an ok relationship with Cunliffe.

And of course the Tizard factor is delicious.. We are confident that she will not step aside.

One thing we think is for certain it aint over for Labour until the fat lady sings

UNION DUES

So the EPMU wants the government to stump up with some funds to pay for any legal bills they might incur around Pike River legal action.

Union Boss and Labour Party boss Andrew Little did the begging bowl trick but it didnt wash with the government.

Chris Finlayson put it very well

"The EPMU is a professional membership advocacy organisation. It receives revenue from its members specifically to provide its purpose of advocacy. There is no extra burden on the EPMU created by doing its job for its members."

What we want to know is what does the Union do with all its dues? How much does it have in the kitty? How much does it own? How good a service does it provide for its members?

Little seems to have the ingrained sense of entitlement that will mean he will be a perfect Labour Party MP.

UPDATE (sigh ) the oracle has the answers - our favorite uber political geek KiwiBlog says the EPMU pulls in around $12 mill a year and has$13 mil in assets

Lambcut's Taser Awards

The latest issue of New Scientist Magazine refers to a new Taser that can be fired from a 12-gauge shot gun. Certain individuals, institutions and events seems to sit up and beg to be candidates for target practice during the development of this device. Today's candidate nominees are:

1. Job losses. Blue Mountain Lumber Mill in Tapanui has announced that 60 staff must go. Lambcut knows the little town well and it won't easily recover from such a blow.
2. The Hamilton woman who its reported tried to bite police that were assisting Council staff trying to remove her dogs.
3. Labour Party President Andrew Little who spoke at a National Press Club luncheon at Parliament today. He seemed a pleasant enough fellow and he had quite interesting material. But he took it and wrecked it with such a staggeringly boring delivery that Lambcut nearly lost the will to live listening to him. He must have some other less obvious talents to have gotten where he is. Speaking clearly isn't one of them.

Further nominee suggestions are welcome.
