Goodnight Christine

As I blogged back in August, former Labour MP Chris Carter has proven just what a bitch he really is.
Back then I said:
"Carter has been mincing around Parliament like a spoilt child all year – blaming everyone and anyone, but himself – over his troubles for overspending on credit cards and unfettered travel all over the world care of the hard-pressed taxpayer.
His huge sense of entitlement has been so grand that any genuine questions about his over-the-top spending resulted in claims by MP of gay-bashing and unfairness.
Carter’s petulant and poor behaviour even got the better of the hapless Phil Goff - a month or so back - when he gave the errant MP a slap over the wrist with a wet bus ticket and demoted him a couple of slots. But instead of taking his medicine like a man and rebuilding his stocks within the party, the petty MP repaid his leader’s soft stance by writing an anonymous letter to the media undermining Goff's leadership."
Now after two months of "stress leave" from Parliament on full pay and other diversions, the Labour hierarchy has finally backed up the hapless Goff and thrown the recalcitrant MP out of the Party – the first such move since MP John A Lee was ousted in 1940 – despite an hour-long plea not to do so from Carter.
[Mind you, I am still unsure - considering the parlous state of Labour's poll ratings - whether being thrown out of this political party is a punishment or a blessing!]
Meanwhile, true to form, the now expelled former MP has declared war on Labour and leader Phil Goff, threatening to dish dirt and name those he said were involved in plotting to oust Goff from the top job.
Again - as I said in my earlier blog - with this kind of petulant and bitchy attitude it is no wonder former National MP and Auckland mayor John Banks dubbed Carter "Christine" when he was in Parliament.
Carter has claimed he lost 16 kgs and was 'clinically depressed' when he was booted out of caucus for trying to shaft - metaphorically - Goff.
Well I'm depressed that Carter is still pulling $120 K a year as an MP and managed to wrangle two months full pay while he worked on his fake tan and went to the gym while on stress leave!
Instead of whingeing and whining like the little girl he is. Carter needs - for once in his life - to man up and take his punishment. He gambled on trying to get rid of his leader, got caught and therefore lost.
Now he should do the Labour Party - which he claims to love so much - a favour and get rid of himself.
No one picked on Carter because he is gay, tall, bald or quite frankly a wanker! He was kicked out because he is a two-faced, lying, treacherous sneak. Even if Carter had been a meat eating, rugby playing, womanising, hard drinking bloke (admittedly not a very common feature in today's Labour Party) he would have still been given the arse for his behaviour.
It is good night Christine, you time is well and truly up.
