The slowly burning fuse

People who behave like scum, shouldn't whine about being represented by people who behave like scum.

Didn't Ben Franklin have some famous quote about the definition of insanity?

Who fucking cares what Ben Franklin said, all he does is spew bile and hatred about the British.

Who is Ben Franklin? I'm sorry I started phasing out when you started raving on about dead american politicians, what interest is that to me?

On the brighter side at least the brain damage isn't permanent (I hope).

So can we attribute your anti-Banks campaign to a prolonged intestinal exposure to ethanol?

John Banks used to be the National MP for Whangarei, a town I grew up in so I have met the dickhead personally, and yes he is a dickhead. He is also basically a bit of a political whore. He was an MP for National but ended up parting ways with the National party (I can't remember the exact story and can't be bothered to research it). He then became Mayor of Auckland city but was toppled for a term but a popular businessman simply because he became to autocratic and no longer listened to the people (like I said dickhead).
He won back the mayoralty but then the plan for the supercity was developed which meant combining the six separate Auckland area mayoralties plus the A.R.A. (Auckland Regional Authority) into one council.

In the run up to the election for Mayor of the supercity there were really only two candidates in clear contention, the Mayor of Auckland, John Banks, and the Mayor of Manukau, Len Brown. Three weeks out from the final polls he made a very racist remark about the population of South Auckland (Manukau) and basically sealed the fate of his election campaign at that point.....

Unemployed....future looking doubtful....he becomes the ONLY sitting member for the ACT party, because A: he has always been a hard rightwing lock the fuckers up and throw away the key away kind of guy B: National desparately needs coalition partners and is ready to forget past transgressions even if he is a bit of dick.

But once again he fucks that up with yet another scandal, this time dodgy donations, because he was told to keep them anonymous on legal advice. And if you believe that I've got a lovely block of swamp for you to see, you have to come at low tide though.....

Oh I forgot to mention he was also a radio D.J. for years 'a political commentator' on a live call in radio station, so you got to hear the little hamster on the wheel whirring in real time in his head, it wasn't very fast at all.

I know you aren't interested in New Zealand politics mary, but you did ask again, and this particular species of political animal has managed to crash around and do several career ending stunts only to reappear for some bizarre reason......

OK, I'll help you kill him, when we going to do this thing?
