Cactus says FAIL, I say FRO

Cactus Kate has a post on the failed leadership coup mounted by Roger Douglas. I say Roger Douglas because I scarcely can believe that Heather Roy would have the gumption to mount a horse let alone a coup. John Boscawen was the third plotter but didn’t have the stones to go through with it.

Cactus is right when she says that the only thing worse than a leadership coup in a small party is a failed leadership coup. Especially so when you only need to get three out of five. So on that basis the three of them are utter failures.

Audrey Young got nearly everything right, except the part about John Key saving Rodney’s arse. My understanding is that Rodney had stared them all down and Boscawen caved when he realised that without Rodney who has Epsom for as long as he wants it he wouldn’t be able to dip his snout in the trough of public funds. Key was informed after the fact.

So, what to do now?

Well traitors are traitors and there is only one solution. Death. I don’t mean physical death, I mean political death. The three of them are List MPs and the party could quite easily give them all the boot. That won’t quite work so my pick is that they ditch Roger “Cotton Hill” Douglas. Like Cotton Hill, Sir Roger didn’t have the shins for a shin dig with Rodney. Right now Sir Roger Douglas is a malignant cancer on the party he founded, he acts and carries on like a muddled old fool reminiscing about the battles of days long past as he pisses in his adult diapers. Cancers need to be cut out and so ACT needs a radical Roger-dectomy.

As for the others they should humbly beg forgiveness from Rodney and hope that the Czars of the party who control the money don’t decide that a little slide down the list rankings next time might be a fitting punishment.

There is also the little matter of who welshed to the media, my pick is it was Garrett who would have been pickled better than Kim Chee this past week. He should get 50 lashes on the cock with a wet shoelace for blabbing.
