Over at Tumeke, Bomber Bradbury takes his impressions of Sunday's the Nation and hurls them in the face of those who seek to fool us twice. My own thoughts about Judith Collins' televised crow-eating and Paula Bennett's crocodile tears are fluffy kitten stuff compared to Bomber's bombs!
His interview with Phil Goff that follows the Nation piece is very good also.
"The Nation have just realized the private prison industry is destroying more than it's saving. No examination in the role the media have played in whipping up the redneck sensible sentencing trust blood lust however.
The right wing desperately need to look liberal in something and the horror story they have created by injecting redneck hatred into social policy has become a monster they can't afford to feed any longer.
The sudden road to the gulag National will attempt here is a joke.
Judith Collins is on, God this is delicious. Watching her backpeddle is beautiful. Watching her climb down from their redneck bullshit is a joy, it's a ballet, a god damned political ballet. This snarling vicious politician playing the god damned liberal is vomit inducing.
She is demanding goddamned applause for her so called commitment to rehabilitation, the women couldn't get TV cameras down to her car crushing yard fast enough, look at her having to change her bullshit redneck tune now.
It's such a farce and such a pretense. Labour have missed another opportunity to actually stand up on an issue they should have a moral mandate for, it's extraordinary to watch this political pantomime play out.
God it was wonderful watching Judith have to eat her redneck rhetoric and pretend to care.
The right have identified they can't keep feeding this punishment monster they birthed and so now they have a 'concern' about it. Shed your crocodile tears elsewhere Judith."
