In the last week things have been like totally going off in Wellington.
Musical Masters
Robert Mugabe was in Wellington last week to promote the New Zealand release of his debut album ZANU PF AINT NUTTIN’ TA FUK WIT. He was snapped with National Leader John Key on the red carpet outside the Loaded Hogg ball room where the event was held. After a few beers John and Rob and were seen in deep conversation about election techniques. Salient has a copy of the CD for review purposes, if you want a listen drop into the office.

Tea and Sisha
Osama Bin Laden was the lunch guest of Helen Clark this week at Premier House earlier this week. Osama was sporting a little red number with some sensible shoes for walking the Wellingtons hills. This went well with Helen’s signature red top and Karen Walker pant suit. The two reportedly talked about key issues such as women’s rights, healthy eating, and interior cave decorating.

Accountability and Certificates
This morning Winston Peters traded interview techniques with General Thein Sein of Myanmar. In an attempt to further the already strong Kiwi/Peacock relationship, Sein was invited to a conference in Rotarua this week, which culminated in a press conference with questions from the media. Choice quotes include: “Lets have some accountability here” and “Slothful, gutter journalism”. The press conference concluded with the two exchanging certificates of appreciation in each others dress sence.

Oily
Last week Greens co-leader Jeanette Fitzsimmons was seen courting Venezuelan President Hugo Chavez. Jeanette was sporting a lovely green open necked top and black blazer which offset Chavez’s eye hemorrhaging red shirt. The two were seen in the lobby of the Duxton hotel after the Ayn Rand Institutes mixer. The two looked fairly much enamoured with each other the entire night and Chavez was seen delivering a couple of barrels of oil to her Coromandal home the next day.

UPDATE:
Here is a scan of Rob’s CD cover.
