Beforehand we all knew about Langes Mrs (both of them) and Burton Shipley, Bolgers wife and Thea Muldoon. For Helen to provoke the debate was how she swam "up-stream" with her choice of attireJust my opinionhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16614554113040355062noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-25372770.post-2420159165786063962008-11-14T12:45:00.000+11:002008-11-14T12:45:00.000+11:00Heine, I guess it's now impossible to know what mo...Heine, I guess it's now impossible to know what motivated the various parties to this faux-scandal but I remain of the view that propogating it was wrong.

She demanded and got grudging respect in her first term and then lost the plot IMO through her second term. <BR/><BR/>It's sad that people turn to the lowest common denominator and blame people for looking at them as female/gay or whatever when the real Just my opinionhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16614554113040355062noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-25372770.post-35572846122131563082008-11-12T20:59:00.000+11:002008-11-12T20:59:00.000+11:00Heine, I'd be happy to hear your version of events...Heine, I'd be happy to hear your version of events.
