The Prime Karaokeminister

Tags: Uncategorized — Author: Hank W.  @ 5:33 pm

Well, it seems that we’ll be expecting another jacket-potato revelation book in a few months. The Ilta-rags today posted first-hand accounts of one Mr.Matti Vanhanen, PM and one Ms Merikukka Forsius, MP had spent a.. hrm… “normal evening as two adult people” in a couple restaurants in Nummela according to what I read. Of course, the “sexiest man of Europe” has been plastered in the headlines and the young Green Party MP has also been in the headlines. Another blog kept by a National Coalition candidate mentioned the alleged liaison, to which both parties stated “weird election tactics”… oh well. I guess Mr. Vanhanen’s new lady friend knows how to keep her mouth shut, the ex-fling, or actually her publisher, is under investigation for libel (well, breach of privacy) regarding her book.

O tempora o mores - do I *really* want to know if the PM and the MP were singing karaoke. Geez, can’t you give them a break! Or atleast a tune!

  3. Nice name. Nice looking.

    She has been busy. Two failed marriages. Is politics to blame?

  4. Cool, looks like we’ll have the Greens in the next government coalition.

    Did we ever find out from Kuronen’s book if Vanhanen is “well equipped” or not? Isn’t that the reason why everyone bought it? My guess is that he’s huge. :-)

  5. Ewwww….this girl was with Harry Harkimo! That dude is creepy. There are rich AND good-looking guys out there, I don’t see his appeal.

  6. Somes girls just have the thing for older guys, Phil. And he is rich, too. Perhaps charming, too? ;)

    Matt is the man. If someone can show me that Kuronen mentions or implies f**tio on her book I’ll vote keskusta the next municipal elections :lol:

  7. #2 Ah, RTD, the baked potato was something that apparently is the PM’s favorite dish to which he likened his mistress. Atleast thats what the rags had when they were publishing some excerpts.

  8. #5 Mmmmm… I’ve met him once. He was giving a lecture of sorts and told about his solo yachting and stuff. Not that creepy if you meet him live.

  9. Right there with you, Phil. Merikukka Forsius’ taste in men has always been a big mystery to me. Rumor has it that she had to flee her and Hjallis’ apartment to a women’s shelter on a couple of occasions with their small child.

    I’ve never understood the sexual appeal of wealth and wealth alone. Money is a good thing to have, but an asshole with money is still an asshole.

    QFT

    Vanhanen was right on target dumping that last one he had. A real winner she’s turned out to be.
