Is it just me or is Helen Clark getting more and more paranoid? She calls for a stop to personal attacks on MPs and then the very next day says, "Labour regards Dr Brash as a corrosive and cancerous person within the New Zealand political system". Um, isn't that slightly hypocritical? Wait, let's go back to the beginning of this sorry saga.

It starts with National continuing to apply preassure about Labour's pledge card spending. Helen sicks Trevor Mallard on National (nobody believes Duckman was operating alone) with a threat to "dish the dirt" if the pledge card issue isn't dropped. Suddenly a week later there are allegations being made that Don Brash has had an affair. Isn't that just a little too convenient?

Then Ian Wishart publishes his so called "article" about Helen's husband, Peter Davis, and we have the PM demanding a halt to these personal attacks and descibing Duckman's antics as "deplorable". And then the very next day she calls Brash corrosive and cancerous to the New Zealand politcal system.

Well Helen, maybe he is corrosive and cancerous to the system because he wants everyone to play by the rules, not your rules. Because he understands that ignorance of the law is no excuse, but mainly because Don Brash is not a good little socialist who won't do exactly what he's told like all of your cronies.

My own personal belief is that Helen is headed towards a breakdown of some sorts, she looks tired, confused and is constantly raving about some "vast right wing conspiracy". Take a break Helen, or even better, resign and call a snap election because this country is sick of you, and sick of all your crap.
