The Smith sidehow

The Nick Smith sideshow is the epitome of everything that is wrong with contemporary politics.

It further degrades politics and politicians in the public mind.

It detracts from vastly more important work in both abstract and practical senses.

It turns politics into scandal and proves that too many Kiwis have attention spans that can only support that which can be salivated over.

It turns politics into sport and proves that too many Kiwis have attention spans that can only support that which turns tribal.

The Smith saga is sad but the mainstream media are salivating with another notch on their bedhead.
Have heard from within that McCully is next target.
