Piss off Andy!

Nobody asked me, but... the North Shore's "leaky" mayor - Andrew William's - latest antics and calls for his resignation are like pissing into the wind for this guy.
Pointless, a waste of time and effort and allrather messy!
In case you missed it, live overseas or call a cave in deepest darkest Westland home - Andrew Williams managed to get his name splashed (both literally and figuratively) all across the nation's media recently, following another of his infamous 'business meetings' which led to allegations that he urinated in public and drove home drunk.
This latest episode prompted more calls for Williams to step down.
As has been alluded in this blog before (The mayor and his late night dexts - Dec 15,2009), Williams' mayoralty has been a series of repeated misjudgments.
The mad mayor's close cabal of supporters, named the A-Team by the mayor - but actually just a bunch of non-descript, unachieving councillors who have surrounded the mayor's since his shock election win in 2008 in the hope of him backing their pet projects or giving them the baubles of North Shore local body politics, which he duly has done - claim this latest mayoral 'leak' is just a "Wee" mistake and part of a conspiracy led by Act party acolytes to disparage the good and virtuous Mayor Williams as he leads the fight to stop their 'evil' super city power-grab plans. They talk of "dirty tricks" and say there is some sort of plot, hatched within the ranks of the Act Party, to get rid of him.
However, the A-Team's (which ironically also included a madman as a key part of the team in the TV series of the same name) delusion skates over unprofessional behaviour, at times verging on the self-destructive, that has been the hallmark of Williams' time in office.
There was the occasion in 2008 when he collapsed at a Devonport Naval Base function and lashed out at ambulance officers who took him to North Shore Hospital. Then there is his penchant for dispatching emails that are inappropriate in both tenor and timing. Last December, Prime Minister John Key described texts from Mr Williams as "aggressive" and "obnoxious". They were allegedly sent as late as 3.30am.
Meanwhile Williams's ever-growing list of critics claim this latest incident is more proof of the mayor being 'caught with his pants down' and adding further fuel to the long-held rumours that he is 'Drunk in charge of a city'! There was more grist in the mill for them in the aftermath of the latest Williams occurrence as in the incident itself. The mayor's response to questioning about what happened was vague and unconvincing.
Then there was the calling of a press conference, a move that, inevitably, set the scene for a media circus in which he did not announce anything, but just his intention to stand for the super city in some role which he will confirm at a later date.
It all smacked of attention-seeking that Williams has thrived on since day 1 and only made fools of the media if they thought he would bow to calls for his resignation from the Local Government Minister, Rodney Hide, and a letter signed by five councillors and four community board members.
Even on the night of the infamous 'leak' where he was seen urinating outside the council offices, Williams sent an email at 11.37pm to staff about a visit to the council next day by Mr Hide and the Housing Minister exclaiming his "utter contempt" for the pair and saying they deserved "any and all appropriate comments in relation to this rape and pillage of the North Shore by this Auckland takeover".
Williams' repeated instances of unprofessional behaviour flared again only days later when he was forced to apologise yet again... this time for putting a cartoon showing Local Government Minister Rodney Hide as Adolf Hitler on his Facebook page.
Asked about the cartoon Williams said he thought it was 'funny' but would remove it.
"It was a joke," said the Mayor.
No Andrew - you are the joke and your mayoralty has turned the North Shore into a laughing stock!
One of the good things about the new Auckland super city is that Williams will be out of office in less than six months and he has more hope of holding on to his infamous weak bladder than winning a position on the new Council.
I wish Williams would follow his own actions and just piss right off!
