What Was I Thinking: A Memoir - By Paul Henry
Paul Henry has a new book out just to pee off all those who swept him under the carpet. It sound like a blast.
From the man whose outrageous comments on TV divided the country, and almost caused an international incident, comes this very funny memoir. Packed with stories from his eventful childhood and his long and adventurous career in journalism, this is a gripping, often hilarious and always entertaining read. It gives a fascinating insight into the complex character of Paul Henry. 'He's surprising - he doesn't subscribe to any expected set of beliefs, he's an individual with contradictory opinions.' 'He's bold - he set himself up as an international news correspondent working out of his Masterton lounge, watching CNN and jetting off to the latest hotspot. He's talked himself into getting interviews with people as diverse as Peter Ustinov and the Prime Minister of Malaysia; he was there for the funerals of Diana and Mother Theresa; he's been thrown into jail in Iraq.' 'He's versatile - starting with drama school, then broadcasting at the BBC, head of Radio NZ, standing for parliament against Georgina Beyer, international correspondent - as well as protesting at Mururoa and running an antique shop and his own radio station.' 'He's entertaining - a natural-born story teller who spins a great yarn, and who says, 'I'll apologise for hurting people's feelings but I'll never apologise for being outrageous.'

A great little Air New Zealand Made even better with the inclusion of Paul Henry. He is back baby and this is just the beginning. Richard Simmons is having a ball.
I wonder if Darren Hughes has been in touch?

VIDEO: TVNZ Breakfast Overwhelmed with support for Paul Henry
The Breakfast team read out support for Paul Henry after he quit the show yesterday.
Paul Henry @ Political Animal
Beginning of the end for TVNZ Breakfast Show
Pippa Wetzell is a nice person, so am I, but Pippa really doesn't have the personality to carry the TVNZ Breakfast show.
Paul Henry did.
Of course he quit yesterday after his TVNZ bosses failed to back their employee over a barrage of nonsense from the sniveling wet, left wing media who were after Henry's head on a plate, after harmless comments made by the media star on air last week. The Herald and others in the mainstream media also went after Paul's elderly mother.
He even gave a full apology to placate the snivelers.
Paul had no choice but quit. He would have been censored by TVNZ if he returned and clearly he did the principled thing by walking. This way his personality is left intact and he will be able to move onto something else in the media if he choses to and if anyone else is brave and bright enough to hire him.
Henry gave the Breakfast show viewers, Pippa Wetzell will not.
He had a strong personality and was loved by most, even managing to put the nail in the coffin of its TV3 competitor Sunrise because they couldn't compete with a similarly bland offering.
The TVNZ show is going to plummet in viewership and surely cant survive now without massive input from taxpayer dollars.
The Henry saga really is a sad state of our way of life today. It is wider than just some guy on the box. It shows that the vocal, rabid left minority can get a taxpayer funded broadcaster to censor that broadcaster so that the content becomes "acceptable" to those with hypersensitivities and by those easily offended.
But do we really want our media to say what is just acceptable to a mad minority of our population?
What gives you the right to tell others what I should say or watch, or hear someone else say or watch.
We have fought wars in the past to stop this kind of fascist bullshit.
Fuck off back to Stalinist Soviet Union or book burning in Germany if you want to stop others from expressing their opinions.
Of course we could easily get around this whole problem if TVNZ was sold off to private enterprise but that aint going to happen any time soon.
I want my entertainment the way I want it, in 2010 with personality, harmless fun (boy are we missing that a little bit each day thanks to things like this) and the ability to speak and think freely without the heavy yolk of socialism (for that is what this is) weighing us down.
With that in mind lets bow out with a classic clip from Paul:

Paul Henry Video Collection: Paul has Laughing Fit
In the light of the manufactured furore over what Paul Henry said earlier this week, I am going to post a series of Paul's "moments" from breakfast TV just to show you how idiotic he really can be.
Very funny

Is Joris De Bres' Racially Biased?
I am slightly amused by the big fuss made over wind up comments about Anand Satyanand made by TVNZ Breakfast host Paul Henry on his show yesterday. It really is a non story but it is being twisted by the sniveling left wing media because there is no alternative "news".
What really grabs me by the balls and gives them a big yank though is the response by the bloated Race Relations Commissioner Doris de Bres.
Henry apologised to the sensitive wee things that were offended but that wasn't good enough for Doris.
Doris said:
"...the apology was not good enough, and should be aimed at all New Zealanders.
"When you say, 'I'm sorry if I offended you', it makes it sound as though the person who was offended is at fault..."
When Hone Harawera called white folk "white motherfuckers" earlier this year Doris said this was part of his freedom of expression and was "....just Hone being Hone..." he sure is one cheeky little darkie ah bro!!
Hone apologised to any offense that might have been caused but also qualified that by saying the "sentiment" of his words he stood by.
I am not bothered by either Henry's comment or Haraweras, it is merely someones opinion and we can judge them based on that but get a grip on your taxpayer funded gravy train Doris!
If you are going to be given half a million a year to sit and pontificate, and get fat and lazy, at least look like you are being fair when you make your pathetic, racially biased decisions.

Hirsute Heffer Hogs the Headlines
There has been much fuss made over Stephanie Mills from Greenpeace and her rather masculine mustache which was made the centre of media attention by Paul Henry, host of the Breakfast show on TV1.
Lets face it it is hard to get a laugh these days without offending someone and if you are going to offend anybody to get a laugh who better than an officious little hippy commie, with hairy armpits, legs, bum, boobs, and face and a penchant for wrecking the planet.
Tom Selleck would be proud to call her his Moustache buddy.
Well done Henry.
