   Sabin Sabin,
   Give me the answer do,
   We’re half crazy,
   Wondering where are you,
   Is it on beach in Hawaii,
   Or in a jail-cell tiny,

   Key twist and turns,
   So taciturn,
   ‘Cos he won’t say what’s wrong with you.
   1. 1.1

      Love it, OAB !
   2. 1.2

      As for Sabin’s whereabouts, I hear he’s flatting with Graham Capill.
      1. 1.2.1

         I heard that too!
      2. 1.2.2

         @ And thenthere’sme (1.2) & Lindsey (1.2.1) –

         Bed and 3 meals provided?
      3. 1.2.3

         He should be flatting with Jimmy Saville.
         1. 1.2.3.1

            …and speaking of Jimmy Saville, DP Farrar’s blog has a tag labelled “paedophiles”.

                  Good lord. And he did that after Jimmy Saville’s “personal issues that were best dealt with outside Parliament” were made public.

                  Something is seriously rotten in John Key’s National Party
                  1. 1.2.3.1.1.1.1

                     Disturbing. Especially considering the worst case scenario.

      with apologies to Daisy I hope ?

         h/t to Harry Dacre.

   It all started out so well,
   Ministerial road trip to quiet backwater
   cryptic warnings
   dark acts of savage lusk
   murderous zombie supporters
   but then that Winston joker refused to die…

   Sabin in the Woods – a Gnat horror story.

   Mikey’s copybook is marked, and John knows what he did, now everybody’s searching, but Mikey’s staying hid. Where can that little Mikey be, he’s hunted day and night, in Northland things are looking grim, will National get a fright? It’s up to Winston a Senior Knight, with armour double-breasted, a twinkling eye and smile so bright, will the Osborne dude be bested? Not long to wait, but seven days, then all will be revealed, Will National lose the Northland seat, and will Sabin stay concealed?

   Why did Mike Sabin resign?
   1. 4.1

      We can’t tell you.
      1. 4.1.1

         Personal family matters Lpent (ha)
         1. 4.1.1.1

            Nope – because of “due to personal issues that were best dealt with outside Parliament.”

            This may include family issues. But we can’t discuss anything like that as they aren’t public.
            1. 4.1.1.1.1

               The Prime Minister made them public here: http://www.nzherald.co.nz/nz/news/article.cfm?c_id=1&objectid=11395228

               “personal and family matters”
               1. 4.1.1.1.1.1

                  Cool. Filing that.
               2. 4.1.1.1.1.2

                  In terms of those personal and family matters, I became aware of those at about the last week of the parliamentary term last year.

                  I didn’t have any great information about those personal and family matters prior to that, and even when I was aware of those … it wouldn’t have been something that would have driven an outcome from me.

                  (bold mine)
                  Reckon he’ll be be denying those words soon?
                  1. 4.1.1.1.1.2.1

                     No need to deny them when they don’t mean anything.

                     This is a good example of why we should never again elect a PM who refuses to speak english in public.
                     1. 4.1.1.1.1.2.1.1

                        Lost in translation!
                     2. 4.1.1.1.1.2.1.2

                        – if we’re talking wishlists of Prime Ministerial attributes –
                        ‘Wanting to help New Zealand’ would be really nice !
                     3. 4.1.1.1.1.2.1.3

                        English. He speaks it very well. He is adept.

                        It means something. He’s good at that.
   2. 4.2

      As he is a [careful … – MS], he had little choice in the matter.
   3. 4.3

      flatmates are clues in their rooms with no views.
      (but might not make it through mods in case somebody sues!)

      read between the lines the answer to what he did is here

   There once was a kiwi so prominent
   who worked for a [del] twas dominent
   we can’t know what he did
   because of the [r0b: I hate to butcher art, but we have to be careful too.]
   some how its now a nonevent

   The thing about Key is you never know how he will twist the truth next
   Classic Wolf in Sheeps clothing
   His public image of being your clean cut average rich bastard who never gets his hands dirty or mite suffer a paper cut once in a while or a gruellin golf game has all the trappings of the upper class that he sees himself to be
   Instead of the mean self centred egoist that he is whose got the people skills of a street bully or the police at David Bain’s family murder investigation
   I wonder to quote Letterman ”when is Key goin to get the Jeb Bush voting machine into the election ” (abridged)

   OK, how about an innocent little link?
