Williams on Tamihere

NZPA has a number of stories about a rumour that John Tamihere might stand for National. I’ll return to the substance in a second, but look at this quote about how badly Mike Williams hates Tamihere:

“I said I would only vote for John Tamihere if the only alternative was Osama Bin Laden.”

I think Tamihere would make a effective colourful Mayor for Waitakere.  But I think his utterances in the past on various topics makes him too risky for National.
