I was slightly stunned to read Winston Peters accusing Jim Peron's bookshop, Aristotle's, of being a porn shop. Having been to quite a few porn shops in my time (as well as strip clubs, massage parlours, gambling venues, houses of ill repute and Parliament), I have some knowledge of what they look like.
Aristotle's features a range of political books, with a certain specialty for Ayn Rand (Ayn Rand is one of the most popular bad writers outside Mills & Boon, but she certainly doesn't write smut). Under parliamentary privelege, Winston Peters described Jim Peron's business as "extreme political propaganda." Methinks Winston is transferring his own attributes on to others.
Rodney Hide looked so angry on Close Up, it looked like he was about to throw Peters a left hook. The election campaign just got dirtier.
