WHAT A DICK!

We all say stupid things sometimes and the best thing to do is apologise if it's offensive and try to move on. Justin Trudeau did this when a photograph surfaced showing him wearing an Alladin costume at a school event when he was a schoolteacher. He didn't quibble, he just apologised.

Not that dick John Tamihere though who with two words has scuppered his Auckland Mayoralty campaign.

JOHN TAMIHERE - SIEG HEIL

This dick has got himself into trouble in the past with his big mouth and injudicious comments. Remember the disgusting 'front bum' comment back in 2005? He also made awful comments about gays, Jews and rape victims.

JOHN TAMIHERE - FRONT BUMS

Now I watched the interview where he made the Sieg Heil comment about Phil Goff. It was stupid but it was throwaway. He should have, when called out on it, apologised and explained himself. Instead, he's not only tried to defend his comment but has gone on attack of what he calls 'The Thought Police'

This guy will get buried over this. I only hope that he's dug himself at least six feet deep so that his political career is dead and he can't be resurrected.

"Hello. Hello. Hello. Helloooo. Can I come out?"
