The deafening yawn

At the Labour Party's unofficial blog they allege corporate right wing media bias is afoot because of the 'deafening silence' about a speech given by John Key two months ago.

After all, both Labour & the EPMU (who have "no connection to the Labour Party") issued press releases about what Key said at a high-powered meeting with the Kerikeri District Business Association just before Christmas.

Surely this should be front-page news in mid-Feburary?

Or maybe there's a 'deafening silence' because it's such a obviously coordinated attempt at a diversion from the Owen Glenn saga.

If National-Lite had any spine, they would stand up and shine the light back on National's anonymous funders.
But it seems Labour's winning election strategy is to shy away from the issue and look like they have something to hide..

The height of this ridiculousnesses with the PM not shaking Owen Glenn's hand at the opening of the Auckland Business School he paid for!

Why is the PM of New Zealand kowtowing to a bunch of journalists who spend too much time reading kiwiblog?
A guy openly bankrolls your party and your former university's business school, and you reward him by chaining him to Mad Dog Mallard?
Fuck them, you're the fucking Prime Minister, shake his fucking hand and smile like you mean it.

It makes for a marked contrast between the two party leaders, Our Great Leader Helen does want to be seen with a businessman that has made millions of dollars of donations to her and the country, and yet John Key will hold hands with the head of a Maori Mafioso and hongi with a dodgy activist awaiting trial on firearms offenses.

Extreme naivety vs Hardened cynicism, what a choice we have this year.

John Key, Puppy Strangler

If the John Key obsession at The Standard is any indication, it seems Labour's 2008 election theme will be
John Key is a rich weirdo who's going retrospectively invade Iraq and sell off our schools to the Exclusive Brethren and our roads, hospitals and prisons to the Americans.

And you'll never believe this, Key is such a freak he has a picture of a fossilised seal on his flickr page!

And this comes after Key's nefarious scheme to deprive Coldplay of their royalties came unstuck thanks to the power of the blogosphere or rather, a print journalist and a law firm.

And then he had the nerve to call Labour's Ginger Spice Darren Hughes, "the son Helen Clark never had", which had the Standard recoiling in horror at the mention of 'son' and 'Helen Clark' in the same sentence.
Although to be fair that comment was inappropriate as children aren't normally fitted with a leash nor bark on command. And Darren is a very good boy, ohyesheis.

And don't forget John Key sniffed some fruit, call in the freak police!
Key's obviously such a rich prick, that he's never had to purchase vegetables for himself in his life. But if our great leader Helen had done it, it would be evidence of her being fully informed before making a decision.

If this is the approach Labour is going to take in next year's election campaign they'd be better off conceding now and preparing for 2011.
