		<description>did you know, that this here page comes up as the No.1. result in Google for the phrase 

&lt;strong&gt;most pompus man in parliament&lt;/strong&gt;

that's Google.com mind you, not just "pages from New Zealand"
http://www.google.com/search?q=most+pompous+man+in+Parliament

another search engine optimisation score from the frogmaster!

meanwhile, does anyone have any links to copies of the UF ppt to share? Ideally it would be good to have copies of the page on their site that announced and promoted it too.

another thing about UFs ppt gaffe was when Larry Baldock said on saturday "I'd be very surprised. I don't know anything about that at all." as if it hadn't happened and was some media conspiracy.
http://www.nzherald.co.nz/index.cfm?ObjectID=10337488

I can't work out if was spectacularly dumb campaigning or whether it was an attempt at getting in the papers with some &lt;a href="/index.php/2005/03/25/dog-whistle-politics/" rel="nofollow"&gt;dog whistle politics&lt;/a&gt; to try and attract some "anti-PC" types.</description>

		<description>&lt;strong&gt;Oh dear&lt;/strong&gt;

Go to Frog Blog and read about the United Future powerpoint presentation.

I'm not sure if it is offensive, more so lame as to be painful.</description>

		<description>Wow. Not only is this offensive... "Does not have a wife who is from Singapore", but who would have, even in passing, though this was a good thing to post? Also, what a crappy PPT. Ugly template, tick boxes are not aligned, this looks like it was put together at morning tea.</description>

		<description>Go to the United front page: http://www.unitedfuture.org.nz

It's halfway down.

So, if it's a hoax, it's a hoax by someone who has access to the United Future site.</description>

		<description>Given the slagging of the Green Party we continually see from Dunne I doubt that he has a right to the claim of being able to work constructively with others.  Could he work constructively in a Greens in a Labour-Greens-UF government if one were to form?</description>
