Swear it or wear it

I don’t trust Americans. This is the nation that voted in George W. Bush. Twice. And may well have done so a third time if the Constitution had allowed it. But I will say this for George W, he had belief. He believed in what God and that higher deity the American Arms Lobby told him, and he acted on that belief. Hone Harawira has only one belief—self, and none at all of belief’s bedmate scruples. But I am now pleased to note that in his grandstanding he may well have backed himself into the corner to which all other naughty juveniles are consigned. This is of course his refusing to swear fealty to the Queen. Oh yes, you are making a statement Hone—which is you are an idiot. Have you had a thought Hone as to where to next? You see, until you so swear you can’t sit in Parliament. And if you do now so swear you are backing down and showing the lack of scruples and beliefs you never had in the first place. The rather pleasurable, though tragically remote, irony is that through this action we may well have seen the last of you—and it will be of your own doing.
