Key insults actors again

I was interested by this article in which the great actor, and outspoken conservative Jon Voight has drawn attention to our poor health system to highlight why Obama shouldn’t continue with his own health reforms. John Keys response (And I have done a Witi here, cut and pasting, so am unaware of the context)… Prime Minister John Key…. dismissed Voight’s comments as “the views of a protesting actor”.   Hmmm. Well John, I wish to dismiss your views as that of a career politician! The supreme irony here is that politicians speak other peoples words (speech writers) use television to build their profiles and are expert at bellowing like dying seals to prove points they don’t actually believe in… Sound familiar?    http://msn.nzherald.co.nz/world/news/article.cfm?c_id=2&objectid=10610834&ref=rss
