John Tamihere

Cold Mountain
Poor old John Tamihere, he was a bit of a blowhard, but you had to like the guy, kind of like Winston Peters with attitude. Unfortunately, he forgot that Nanny doesn't like Maori with attitude who look they might stray off the Labour plantation, especially if they stray in a government car. Nanny saves up secrets and she'll tell them if you make her angry.

OK, he took the money after he said he wouldn't, but that's not the first time a politician said something on the hustings and then did something else, right Nanny? Further, it looks like he earned it.

I hope he joins the Maori Party and kicks Labour's smug ass in a byelection.
