Stupid quote of the week

The Herald reports:

Mr Little said it would also be inappropriate to hold a signing ceremony for the deal two days before New Zealand’s Waitangi Day.

“Our national day is a day that we celebrate our national identity and national sovereignty, and this is an agreement that potentially compromises our sovereignty.”

That’s pretty pathetic, and just desperate.

So how many days before Waitangi Day is okay? 2.5? 3? 3.5?
