badass Ian Wishart and the vestal virgin


Helen Clark has called Investigate Magazine editor Ian Wishart a creep. In 2002 she called John Campbell a "little creep"

This means:
1. Ian Wishart is bigger than John Campbell, or
2. Ian Wishart is more of a creep, and
3. Any journalist who pisses off Her Majesty is going to be labelled a creep.

Clark says "If you want to meet the Wishart test of public life, you'd better be one of the Vestal Virgins." A vestal virgin is "a virgin consecrated to the Roman goddess Vesta and vowed to chastity, who maintained the sacred fire burning on Vesta's altar".

Will Helen Clark's head be on the cover of next month's Investigate Magazine with Madonnas torso and the heading "like a vestal virgin"?

Now, there's something for the folks at Generation XY to photoshop.
