Quote of the Day - 29 November 2011

The Herald has been out and about on North Shore streets getting opinions on Andrew "the Leaky Mayor" Williams' election to Parliament, and there are some doozies amongst them. But none comes close to this one (with our emphasis added):

While Mr Williams' public urination was labeled "disgusting" by some, others saw it as nothing out of the ordinary.

"That's human isn't it? Men do it all the time," said one retail worker.

Stephanie Slyfield, 70, said she voted for Mr Williams because he was upfront and outgoing.

"He's definitely a party guy but I like party people, I'm one myself.

"Who cares if he pees under a tree? I peed under cars when I was younger, it doesn't make him a bad person."


Does anyone else think that the Press Gallery is about to become a whole lot busier?

Taking a slash on the way home acceptable with rudimentary efforts at discreet.

Driving drunk, chaotic texting in the small hours while under the influence, erratic behavour, extraordinary actions as mayor of a major city all indicate a serious deficit in acceptable as an MP.
I blogged yesterday on the contrast between how NZF ranked their list and how they ranked according to their exposure to the more exacting scrutiny of an electorate who have a better chance of accurate assessment at No Minister.

Williams did not shine and his vote in North Shore was revealing to say the least.

Garden Guru now MP Maggie Barry summed him up with her commitment to plant a few Lemon Trees at Parliament.
