Could Not Stand The Heat-ley
What a friggin wowser is this Phil Heatley.
First, blubbing like a baby in front of repeaters on the news the other night. Next, resigning his portfolio.
Today I ask him to go one further and resign as an MP.
His career is now a waste of space. Unlike Pinkos, on the right we expect our MP's to be a little harder than this.
Not for Heatley's original crimes, but for the blubbing woosie limpdick behaviour since. That behaviour has let down his Party, his staff and his family.
The resignation was over Mr Heatley signing an expense claim for a dinner when in fact the $70 charge was for bottles of wine at a National Party function. It followed other revelations of misspending this week.
For heavens sake, there's a few reasons why Phil Heatley should no longer even be an MP.
- Buying on credit card a cheap arse holiday for the family.
- Using a credit card at Burger King, I mean how many people actually know you can use a bloody credit card at Burger King?
- Everyone I spoke to defends him as a "nice guy". Which in politics means "innocuous and ineffective so no one hates him".
- Buying cheap wine ($70 for two bottles). Pathetic.
- Leaving "Smile and Wave" Key facing allegations there's more to this than just a blubbing religious holier than thou twit would couldn't handle the heat in the kitchen.
- Blubbing on television about sums that he could reach into his wallet and pay cash for.
- He's not in the Maori Party so has no excuses
- He never even looked close to selling off the Nation's State Housing stock

I guess we have different standards under the current regime compared to the last.
As Uncle Helen might say, Heatley was only guilty of helping himself.
How bizarre how he quits over $70 worth of wine, when it is fine for Uncle to steal an election and $500,000 plus of tyaxpayer funding for pledge cards!!
Wonderful to see you back at your prickly best.
Yr choice lady! Crack me up. R u real?
Kate, you've nailed it again.
The pathetic platitudinous outpourings that are going on over at Kiwiblog about how honourable he's been makes me want to puke.
Harden the fuck up, indeed.
So, if Heatley resigns over $70.00 or so , what about the Rt Honourable Bill English ??
Maybe he'd heard that blubbing on screen helps your political career? It worked for Bob Hawke - didn't it?
Paranormal

Yes, what is all the fuss about? Heatley, et al, have not taken the taxpayers' money, they're simply given it to themselves.
[In the spirit of Penn and Teller].
@anon 11.01am: that is a very good point
I couldn't see him resigning as best for NZ, the National Party or Parliament, it would cost the country a by-election, and the of course the whole MT Albert debacle could happen again, i do think it may be prudent for MR key to suggest to his party that Phil be moved down a few notches on the list so if he does decide to come back he won't be in place for any govt position
Cheap wine? Two bottles only?
For $70 I'd expect at least 7, if not 8.
Fair enough. He's gone. He should be out of the parliament entirely though.
Now what about the double-dipper from Dipton?
