This guy is so full of win.

He falls down drunk (assuming he was drunk at a Chinese New Years Party), breaks his arm, shakes 100+ hands and doesn't have the arm looked at until the next day.

NZ's PM can beat up my president. *tear*

What you call "win", the rest of us refer to as "stupidity".

he would not need surgery to fix the arm, broken in two places.

I can only presume they're green fractures. Otherwise it would be flopping around.
Maybe shaking hands with 120 rugby players might be enough to cause green fractures.

Next week's headline "New Zealand PM found to be a heroin junkie".
Or maybe PCP?

He told you he was hardcore.

Is this guy a former rugger himself?

They were "touch" rugby players, not real rugby players. Skinny, weak, but quite quick.

Just so you know where I'm coming from, I was running around on election day with a Labour rosette on my lapel trying to get out the vote. I'm a member of a union (the PSA). I really don't think - at least in this term - he's going to be that bad. I'm kinda annoyed about reducing the employers' contributions to Kiwisaver, but it's still free money. My biggest beef is the 90 day probationary period for employees in small businesses.

I don't expect anything radical from him - certainly not the old Ruth Richardson style of politics. Bringing the Maori Party on board to counter ACT was a good move. I'm not sure he has the clarity of vision the weather these tough economic times, but then who does?

/maybe that was a little too NZ specific for Fark

well, you don't want to look like a pussy in front of the rugby players.. when those guys fall down the stairs, they break the stairs. And they don't take them to no hospital either.

I was at a party in Hamilton full of Labour/Greens supporters, and this random guy turned up - no one knew who he was - who said he voted for ACT (for you Americans, that's the NZ equivalent of a neo-con).

It was a costume party, but his non-costume, everyday outfit of stubbies, a puffy jacket and sneakers was the most hilarious of the night.

Oh wait, I forgot: 5) Post the story on Fark three days later. Profit!

I don't know about his politics, but judging on this he is sexy as hell.

That comes so close to being full of win.

Yeah "real rugby players" never play touch in the off season.

The fact that he decided to appoint a former radio jockey as the Minister for Communications and Information Technology, instead of the former computer programmer that admitted last years revisions to the Copyright Act were "stupid" speaks against him in my book. But if he can stop Roger Douglas from doing anything, I would count him as a success.

/Has Roger Douglas ever done anything good? Ever?

I can't understand why the USA were able to go from a Bush to an Obama and New Zealand decided to go from an Obama to a Bush. God our PM is a toss-pot.
