Traitor!

Even I am impressed at the speed that Winston is turning our 'new constitutional arrangements' into a very public train wreck. God I can't wait for him to get into the house for a Question Time grilling.

And just to prove that he is completely losing it, he is accusing the Herald of TREASON with an majesticly straight face. A stretch Winston, even for you...

In a speech yesterday at his Party's annual conference Foreign Minister Winston Peters accused the New Zealand Herald of Treason. This morning he repeated the allegations on National Radio's Morning report adding that the alleged treasonous conduct had been by a "Herald columnist". It is clear the columnist in question is Fran O'Sullivan.

Fantastic - a Senior Minister at war with the countries biggest rag!

Helen got her 'historic third term' - that was all that mattered post election - but I fear that political expedency will ultimately ruin her legacy. She could very easily turn into the woman who presided over a Government that implodes very publicly within 12 months.
