and a paragraph copied from the same paper a few months ago:

Politicians once again scored the dubious honour of the survey's least trusted profession, just marginally behind car salespeople and, a new entrant this year, telemarketers. Politicians have now earned the wooden spoon of the professions category for six years in a row.

Unfortunately her statement here is quite true:

"She says on most days, children are sitting in the public gallery observing how MPs conduct themselves and she is embarrassed they should see adults behaving so badly."

But I would gladly trust her as far as I could throw her......

Not always true - Helen Clarkes lips never moved on her pledge card and she was both stealing and lying at the same time.. Thats the problem with female politicians, they can multi task...

I hate that bitch with a passion. If I ever flip and go postal, she'll be high up on my list.

**kickingzebra** · 8th September 2006, 13:45

The woman has a point, shit, if it were my dollars paying for anyone to act like a kindergartener on speed, I would want that person to be me! But I couldn't afford to pay me as much as we pay them to do just that.

The whole system is inherantly screwed. The object is what is best for the party in power, not what is best for the country.

Hip hop research tour anyone??

Really???

You've kept that quiet!

One of the key requirements to be a successful politician is to be a failure in the real world - this can be seen in the present government. If you are a success (for instance John Key) large factions of the hippy, environ - mentalist, beardy-weirdy, communist brigade vote against you.

[Off Topic Rant]

I love how my industry always rates at the bottom of the list (car dealers) yet people always ask me my opinion, treat me like their best friend, etc etc. Oh well, the pay is good so who cares where we rank.

**kickingzebra** · 8th September 2006, 16:12

A good car dealer is hard to find though! I am pretty sure you would be one, biker = good bastard, but shit, I have been told some bollocks looking at cars by dealers who thought they could pull the wool.
Had to learn though, bought one car, total rip off, they didn't even rego and WOF it, and the tires where bald. Wasn't a cheapy either, just a whackoff dealer, and I never thought to check.

Back on topic, Being a politician would be good if you could stay out of the BS games they play, but that wouldn't be easy methinks.

YES YOU CAN! Helen Clark is a corrupt, lying, cheating, fucken UGLY, disgusting, incompetent, hairy back, vomit breath, damaging bitch. She is a poor excuse for a human being and should be put down.

Only ugly people, non achievers and pillow biters like her.
