Lucy Lawless – aka Xena Princess Warrior – the world-renowned climatologist (yeah, right!) has got her pretty little nose out of joint because when she and another Greenpeace supporter turned up, uninvited, to see Prime Minister John Key he wasn’t there to meet her.
Lawless and her dopey looking off-sider only got as far as the Beehive front desk when attempting to give Prime Minister John Key a boarding pass to Copenhagen - as part of the green zealot group’s latest publicity stunt.
The actress and recently sacked climate scientist Dr Jim Salinger,(that's a new one... I thought it was usually the actress and the bishop) claim they are upset about Mr Key's decision not to attend an international climate change meeting in Copenhagen, Denmark, next month. They arrived at Parliament with an over-sized boarding pass and a cheque for $4781, raised from sausage sizzles and cake stalls, to put towards the Prime Minister's air fare.
They waited, along with gathered fawning media hacks, only to be told the Prime Minister was otherwise engaged. Key said he had not been given warning about the visit, and shrugged off questions about why he didn't meet the pair.
Well surprise, surprise! Perhaps the pouting actress should change her name to Lucy Clueless. Does she not realise that John Key doesn’t sit around waiting to greet every two-bit celebrity who wants to see him. Hell, Key has even turned down an opportunity to meet with every celebrity’s favourite Tibetan monk – the Dalai Lama – who at least tried to book an appointment with the PM in advance.
I have previously blogged about so-called celebrities with superiority complexes when it comes to do-good causes on May 25 and August 6. Lucy Lawless features prominently on both blogs. I'll admit Lucy has nice legs and great tits -- but so does Nicky Watson, but at least she doesn't run around the country lecturing us all about climate change.
So Lucy - in the best parlance of the web and the text world we now live in - just STFU! How arrogant or self important does you think yuou are that the Prime Minister of New Zealand should drop everything he is doing and run to meet you when you decide to pop in for a visit? Get over yourself you environmental prima donna.
Meanwhile, Key rightly argues that it is clear no binding treaty will be signed in Copenhagen – despite earlier talk of an international resolution being on the cards –and that Environment Minister Nick Smith would be New Zealand's representative there.
Just why both Lawless and Salinger believe that sending a bunch of heads of state to this talk-fest in the Danish capital is going to achieve anything reduce carbon emissions is beyond me.
Actually – even with my rudimentary science background – it is clear that flying all the world’s prime ministers and presidents – along with their huge entourages – to Denmark is only going to increase emissions not reduce them!
Surely if the not so good doctor and the aforementioned clueless actress were really so hell-bent on saving the planet from Co2 emissions – wouldn’t they be insisting that world leaders hold a video conference rather than all fly to Copenhagen?
This just goes to show why this out of work actress and her unemployed scientist mate’s argument is full of wholes and lacks any credibility – a bit like both of their careers really!
