Moore cops backlash for outburst
Former Labour Party leader Mike Moore claims to be surprised by the strong reaction that his searing criticism of Prime Minister Helen Clark has drawn. Mr Moore compared Helen Clark to former Prime Minister Sir Robert Muldoon in yesterday's Herald, highlighting the "politics of personal destruction" that he said were in use. Progressive Party leader Jim Anderton leaped to her defence - labelling Mr Moore as hypocritical, a bitter failure, and a seeker of the limelight. "I was in the Labour caucus when he was part of a vicious personal smear campaign against then Opposition leader Jim McLay - so his injured tone about John Key facing some scrutiny is a bit rich," Mr Anderton said. "He [Moore] was prime minister for six weeks, so now he is bitter at the success of someone who has been in the job for eight, going on nine, years." Hmmm, we of course forget about the knee capping of National Party leader Jim McLay, so for Mike to be attempting a transformation into Dr Phil is a little rich. At least all the bitching is making for some great one liners, in response to Anderton, Mike Moore replied, “"when was the last time Jim Anderton had an idea that wasn't forgotten in 1950? ... there is one thing I do envy him and that's his hair." Those aside for Mike to try and claim he is a staunch Labour Party supporter while pissing all over the Woman who stole his throne is about as believable as anything that comes out of the WTO (White Totalitarian Oppression)
