TARANAKI DAILY NEWS & NZPA: Election-year silly season is under way - as one party leader sparred with a "moron" radio listener, another's online presence was labelled "sad" by a teenager.
NZ First leader Winston Peters, standing in for broadcaster Leighton Smith, told NewstalkZB listeners yesterday that he did not want morons voting for his party.
After a listener sent him an e-mail saying he was a lost cause and would soon be out of politics, Mr Peters said there were a lot of morons in New Zealand and they could vote for any party they liked, but he did not want them to vote for NZ First.
National Party leader John Key was at Waitara High School, where he pushed his party's plan to spend $1 billion on "super fast broadband".
This would allow pupils to access his Bebo and Facebook pages at a fraction of the speed, and download movies in seven seconds, he said.
But pupil Jeremy Donoghue, 17, said: "Anyone over 40 that has a Bebo page is a sad, sad man."
When asked if he was friends with Helen Clark, Mr Key said he was not her boyfriend, as a seven-year-old in Auckland had inquired, but they did have a "cordial relationship".
"I kind of see her about."
