In all the fuss of last week with Winston Raymond Peters, 63, Member of Parliament of No Fixed Abode and the bastard bosses at the EPMU I quite forgot to add another name to the ever growing list of victims to Helen Clark’s Curse.
Victims so far have been;
- The All Blacks, several times but most recently the quarter final of the World Cup
- The Silver Ferns at the final of World Cup
- Team New Zealand at Valencia
- Shania Twain and her marriage which collapsed soon after meeting Clark.
- John Howard
- Gordon Brown, whose poll ratings collpased almost immediately after his breakfast at Downing Street.
- Gottlieb Braun-Elwert, had been dicing with the curse for more than 10 years until he finally succumbed.
Well, as I said I missed one. Pervez Musharraf the former dictator of Pakistan who is basically under house arrest in Pakistan until after the elections and then they will toss his ass out. Back in 2005 Musharraf actually came to New Zeland and was feted by Helen Clark at a State Dinner. Stark contrast to her treatment of Frank Bainimarama but then the Commodore has probably heard of the curse and is grateful that our spiteful and nasty Prime Minister has slapped a travel ban on him.
If I was Kevin Rudd I’d be very, very nervous. He has just spent the week with Clark and has met her previously. I notice that his popularity is also taking a beating right now so perhaps he already is suffering under the curse.
