I think i was trying to get at the fact that he will either be judged as a sportsman or a pretty boy, but never at the same time
Au contraire, I have been convinced for years that DC's poor performances over in South Africa are the result of the air being thinner and thus his hair not retaining enough volume.

And American political campaigning has refined that to a near-surgical pitch.
Oh we don't dare disagree here, but you are very quick to equate NZ politics to the shit-storm that is US elections.
I don't think the two are comparable. For one, they elect a solitary head of state, we elect parties - now some argue that we've become very leader-centric of late, so much so that I actually did this as a partial-thesis at Uni and found that leadership contributes (roughly) 10% to a voter's decision (I know I know lies, damn lies and statistics).
Secondly, they screen attack ads, we're just too damn toothless to do that - and the NZ public wouldn't stand for it.
And thirdly, noone here gives a shit if John Key doesn't sing the national anthem or wear a goddamn southern cross pin on his lappelle.

which is A-OK as long as Darth Rove and Daleks Crosby and Textor don't have anything to do with it
No, I didn't say it was ok, you're a better arguer than that. I just said that your use of 'Rovian' was hyperbole.
I personally find it hilarious that she's gone and made such a dick of herself. And I'm fairly confident there will be some researchers getting their asses tanned.
But we in NZ do not do Rovian (and this includes National) because there's just not enough controversy in this country.

"Rovian" smear.
I hardly think this a 'Rovian' smear Craig. There might be a slight use of hyperbole.

Which would relate if 'lived in Aro Valley' and 'members of the Green Party' were the same set.
Thought they were.
My bad! :)

I find it interesting just how defensive some folks get when pointing out that there's a hell of a lot of stones being thrown around a neighbourhood full of glasshouses
Pot. Kettle. Black.

I suspect you've never been to a Green Party gathering. More hippy than socialist
I think you'll find that Aro Valley in Wellington is home to both the Hippys (ies?) AND the socialists.
Both of whom vote Green.

Craig as much as I enjoy your verbose replies, of late they do tend to consist of "your example of National being shits isn't correct because Labour are shits too".
I get what you're saying but often it's just not relevant.

Your singing has created an awkward silence.

Russell why would you open that can of worms and make me appear sexist?!?
