This old mutt has little time for career politician and serial taxpayer beneficiary Winston Peters who, despite sitting in Parliament since the 1970s, has achieved bugger-all except fatten his wallet and backside.
The Hound reckons the petty, small-minded attitude of the member for North Korea – sorry Northland – again stood out in his comments on John Key stepping down as PM and quitting politics. While other political opponents set aside their politics to thank Key for his service and wish him the best for his future, Peters could only muster more of his ridiculous conspiracy theories. This proves the MP, who entered Parliament in 1978, is not only bitter and twisted, but also again showing either symptoms of early dementia or signs of being tired and emotional.
