The Quiet Wisdom of Dunne

















This letter from today's 'letters' section of the Southland Times is a doozy!
Can't remember when I got such a lift from a reader's letter as the one I got from this quaint message from Billy Joe Devereux of Invercargill. 

Quiet wisdom
 
Both National and Labour parties have major faults in reasoning. 
  National has overspending as its policy - yet Labour has nothing but cheap jibes at its opposition.
Labour has no policy.
The only quiet one leads another party.
  When he speaks, look out because he not only speaks well but he speaks with thought.
  It's Peter Dunne and I'll vote for him.
  Vote as usual and get yourself into another huff huff, or vote for New Zealand - not for yourself.
  We need a leader not a calf on the tit.

Billy Joe Devereux

To top off this pearler of a letter, the editor added a photograph of Peter Dunhill, mop resplendent,  and captioned it "Listen carefully to the quiet one."

Magic.

Dunne for President

Will he pose, bare-chested, on horseback?
That'd get my vote.

Gareth Hughes for Ohariu-Belmont!

I intend to vote for Gareth although I'm assuming the Greens would rather that tick went to Charlie, to minimize the risk of Pete and Miranda returning.

I suspect Miranda is Pete's mojo. If the two could be separated somehow ...

Suz said...

Ugly incident at the weekend involving a hungry, possibly hormonal Miranda,and a toddler holding a toffee-apple! The mojo is no more.

Are those the bald facts, Suz???

I'll send a message to Nandor - Pete always admired his dreads (commented on them regularly) and I'm sure Nandor would be happy to weave Pete a rug from them.
