My name is Michael; my karma is bad!

Michael Laws, Mayor, Wanganui, Dancing with the Stars
Sunday night couch potatoes may have been laughing along with My Name is Earl while they bide their time waiting for Wanganui mayor Michael Laws to spin across the floor in an episode or two of Dancing with the Stars (or as some watchers have uncharitably christened it, Poncing with the Losers) before getting the shove by discerning judges and viewers.

Like the eponymous Earl Hickey, Wanganui’s hapless mayor has stumbled into late middle age leaving a trail of bad-karma-inducing acts behind him. In one last desperate grab to be taken seriously as a "celebrity" (now how hard can that be in the very small pond that passes for celebrity-dom in Godzone? – Ed) he put himself forward as the born-loser of the 2007 series of the tired, overwrought and passed its use-by date DWTS.

Just over ten years ago he and then dance partner Antoinette Beck slow-waltzed from the hallowed halls of Parliament into ignominy and disgrace; since his third-rate cha-cha into the Wanganui mayoralty partnered by the likes of Nicky Higgie and Sue Pepperell, he’s made more stumbles and falls than Tim Shadbolt and Rodney Hide put together on a bad day – especially when he’s in front of TV cameras.

But this afternoon, just 11 days from his debut with the latest TV One stable of fellow dog-tucker nags like Paul Holmes and Suzanne Paul, Michael Laws breathlessly tells us he danced into a whole new self-generated publicity frenzy by BREAKING … wait for it Watchers … HIS BIG TOE!!!

Here in the LawsWatch cave we’ve been getting a mixed response to this SHOCK!! HORROR!! PROBE!! D-I-S-A-S-T-E-R!!! Some Watchers say it serves the little crawler right … others say that in view of the fact he’d be gone by lunchtime if he’d fronted up to the start line of DWTS it’s more than a fortuitous accident. Remember, they say, his oh-so convenient scratching (due to oh-dear so unfortunate injuries) from the 2006 Mayoral Mile and the Twin Towers climb. Not to mention his failure to deliver on his threat to appear naked in the main street of Ohakune when the Overlander was saved.

Remember, say the Doubting Thomases (and Julians, Dicks, Annes, Georges and Timmys), his ignominious exit from Julie Christie’s Trashy Celebrity Treasure Island after a couple of episodes in which the contempt of his fellow wannabe-celebs was almost palpable?

Could it be, they insist, that Cunning Mickey did the numbers and figured he’d get more column centimetres (certainly from his old pal Mas at the Wanganui Chronic) and seconds air time by bumping his BIG TOE and scratching himself from the BIG EVENT, where he was sure to be an also-ran? Or does he figure (as one National Radio commenter posited) that if he does limp up to the birdcage he’ll get a “sympathy vote”. Certainly, his constant faked self-deprecation about flat-footedness would have worn thin by the second ad break and txters all round New Zealand, desperate to get him out of their lounges, would be boosting TV One and Telecom’s profits.

As an aside, LawsWatch – ever concerned about the health and wellbeing of Wanganui’s one and only mayor – admits to having been more concerned in recent days about the threat to Michael Laws’ typing digits, such has been the overactive commenting emerging from the Laws camp after kids' bedtime and during the 9-noon news and commercial breaks at Radio Live. As Watchers have pointed out, much of it, especially the evening frenzy, has been quite breathlessly obsessed with the bodily attributes of Mickey’s 20-something dance tutor.

Curiouser and curiouser … because as the 11am news hit the Radio Live frequencies this morning the dedicated commenter who some Watchers have christened anonymickey (because he’s got Mayor Mickey’s inimitable style down to a tee) made this prophetic contribution to this blog:

That dancer girl is beautiful. How come a prick like ML gets all the breaks. It is enough to make me lose my faith in karma.
Perhaps he too is an inveterate watcher of My Name is Earl and, as Mickey Hickey must have worked out by now:

When you do good things, good things will happen to you, do bad things and they'll come back and bite you in the ass.

Let’s hear what you think, Watchers? But with all due concern for our poor Mayor we would urge anonymickey to give it a rest and keep that BIG TOE of his RICED (Rested Iced Compressed and Elevated) and to save his typing digits for his next BIG PRESS RELEASE to Mas.

As someone who is associated with Wanganui ballroom dancing circles let me say that Michael Laws is anathema to the way we would like to be portrayed on the wider stage, and the reasons for John Maslin’s subservience to him is a mystery to genuine supporters of the dance movement. There will be widespread relief here that he is no longer able to bring dancing and Wanganui into further disrepute.

Forget Sunday nights, it looks like TVNZ has realised Mickey and his fellow losers won’t even keep the Presbyterian Ladies Sewing Circle away from Hymns on the Sabbath so they’ve bunted DTWS out to Tuesdays. How appropriate, it’ll be Mickey vs that other uber wanker Danny Crane.

As the Listener says:

“If you think that Paul Holmes is annoying, remember Michael Laws is worse … take two drinks if Michael Laws mentions his bowels.”

No wonder Mickey is getting out before the backlash translates into a deafening silencing in the judging/voting.

hey losers - the mayor has done more than the solo wanker with the eleven false blog entries to make Wanganui happen. He will dance and he will win and what will you pathetic nobodies do then?

Now do i get accused of being ML too??

Are you suggesting Mickey has hobbled himself, in the best tradition of those crooked Oker racing types? From the Horse Dictionary:

Hobbles - Describes the walking gait of a horse owner after his/her foot has been stepped on by his/her horse.

Well it looks like lying Mickey is staging the whole thing for the headlines and the sympathy vote:

What he tells Mary Bryan: It is a significant dilemma and I will make a decision on Monday.


And what he tells the DWTS publicist: Mr Cooper said he had spoken to Mr Laws, who was determined to soldier on and make his dancing debut on the show in 10 days.

Doesn’t this all sound familiar? ie

1.“I won’t be standing for the mayoralty because my dear family needs me”.

2. Cue a heap of cheap publicity esp in the trashy women’s mags.

3. Then: “I have decided Wanganui needs me after all, even more than my dear family so I’ve changed my mind.

4. Cue a heap of cheap publicity esp in the trashy women’s mags.

No babe, I'm definitely not a man. And I'm definitely not ML. If there were pictures beside each of these blog comments ML would leave each of you losers for dead each time. Especially in that black outfit. Not an ounce of fat flab to be seen and what a bod. Pity about the foot. If I really were a Gypsy I would concoct something interesting to cure him, including long dark me and a long dark night. Good vibes coming your way, ML, put your foot up and think positively because NZ's women deserve to see more of you. Good luck.

Credit where credits due, ML has put some long hours and commitment into this dancing. What a pity if he is pipped at the post. And all that exposure for Wangas down the gurgler. You thick loser morons in here cannot see what a positive thing this is and what a shame if ML doesn't make it to the start. I hope the producers of the show sort something out so that he can still go on. Take it easy ML - and thanks for your efforts. Most of us Wanganui-ites appreciate them.

Michael Laws gets a little footloose and breaks a toe

5:00AM Saturday March 31, 2007
By Joanna Hunkin

Wanganui Mayor and Dancing With the Stars contestant Michael Laws is in agony after breaking his toe during rehearsals for the television show.

But Mr Laws has vowed to continue to take part in the dance competition despite being warned by doctors to rest.

The RadioLive talkback host was rehearsing at a Wanganui dance studio with his partner Lauren de Boeck when the accident happened, confirmed publicist Corey Cooper.

"They have a wooden marker to stop them from crossing a certain line and Michael and Lauren kept bashing their toes on it."

It seems a particularly rigorous rehearsal got the better of Mr Laws, who was rushed to Wanganui Hospital accident and emergency just after 2pm.

A doctor confirmed his right big toe was fractured in two places and advised the mayor to refrain from dancing or athletic activities for the next three to four weeks.

However, Mr Cooper said he had spoken to Mr Laws, who was determined to soldier on and make his dancing debut on the show in 10 days

Get a grip. Everyone knows the celebs learn to dance for DWTS and aren't expected to be dance experts. Thats half the interest of the programme. They all do well and ML would do as well as anyone. That he is willing to do it and worked so hard is in his favour and the publicity for Wanganui is all good. Besides, he's a handsome critter, isn't he.

Hands up all those Wanganui women (and non-Wanganui women) who were looking forward to watching ML dance on tv. Good or bad we were looking forward to watching him shake that booty. There is a sad lack of goodlooking sexy men in Wanganui. Not to mention clean and well groomed and we're sure Leonie doesn't mind us having a good old fashioned perv from a distance. Go Michael - get back on your feet, man. We're looking forward to DWTS with you on the floor. An excellent Mayor and goodlooking as well - we have it all in Wangas and NZ will appreciate that from the first DWTS show.

Reading between the lines ... reading the ACTUAL lines in fact, it's obvious from his little tanty in the Chron today that the great romance between Mickey is over!

But who would have expected the combined talents of two repeat failures to produce anything but another failure. Nice the way Ron points the finger though:

"Naturally, Messrs Laws and Wills, as directors, share in the collective responsibility for all board decisions."

Why, Mickey has a face only a mother could love.

And, I've seen better faces on iodine bottles.

You must be somewhere in your 70's blind in one eye, and can't see out the other...Or, you must be gay male.

I suggest you look at some pictures of Geroge Clooney for awhile. Then, have another look at Mickey.

And if you're elevating Mickey being more goodlooking than the rest of the men in Wanganui, I wonder what the women look like..it takes to to tango in the sack...if you know what I mean to produce an offspring.

If the mayor does dance, he will be in considerable pain. Two broken bones in a big toe is not going to be very comfortable at all. I would not blame him if he pulled out but I would love to see Wanganui get some great TV exposure.

On the "is Michael Laws sexy?" argument, I have this to contribute from a women's perspective.

He is clean, tidy, intelligent, works hard and is obviously well off. He isn't fat and he is fit. He has nice teeth and a nice smile.

That would be enough for me and my friends and place him on a different scale to most males in Wanganui.

He is also a celebrity, which would be a negative from a dating side of things because there would be too much competition.

Dear Lord!!

What is going on??? I just drove past Porritt St and there’s hundreds … no thousands of women screaming and waving placards saying things like “I love ML”, “ML is a sexy beast” “My name is Edith/Gypsy/Ngaire”. They were screaming “Come to us, ML”, “Show us your booty, ML”, “ML is slim, handsome and sexy!” “My name is Edith/Gypsy/Ngaire”.

Then I drove down Guyton St and the same thing was going on. Thousands of women screaming and waving placards saying things like “I love ML”, “ML is a sexy beast” “My name is Edith/Gypsy/Ngaire”. They were screaming “Come to us, ML”, “Show us your booty, ML”, “ML is slim, handsome and sexy!”

This is incredible, I thought, so I drove past the dance place. And there they were, thousands of them. Haus fraus from Wanganui East and Aramoho. Their placards said, “Let us pay for soft water for all Wanganui, ML”, “We love ML because he’s such a soft water kind of guy!!”, “Show us your six-pack, ML!” “My name is Edith/Gypsy/Ngaire”.

Scary stuff!! What has this guy got that turns them on so?? Why have years gone by without so much as a mass-demo or love-in for ML? What has he put in the water? What’s happening to Wangas? Why don’t their men give them a good slap around and drag them home? Why doesn’t he just pull his head in and save Lawswatch all this bullshit?

Hey Mickey and loser Laws supporters, see if your pea brains can comprehend this fact.


“The big toe joint is a major stabilizer of the foot during the walking cycle,” he explains. “The big toe joint is absolutely essential for balance.”

Quoted by, Andrew Pankratz, D.P.M., Podiatric Foot and Ankle Surgeon, Marshfield Clinic Eau Claire Center

Also, when you limp, your gait is not properly aligned and it throws your back out too when you walk.

Furthermore, the pain will increase and your concentration will be non-existant for dancing.

Plus, you'll have to dance better than the other contestants.

We'll look forward on you Mickey taking a tumble on DWTS when the pressure of the competition builds up on you and your dancing partner.

They'll be no more "let's do that over again" when you're on the DWTS show, it'll be for real.

And just because you're Michael Laws, won't mean a thing on DWTS, you're just another contestant..No one special...In which you're no one special, anyways.

We're having a bet that Mickey & Lauren will wipe out on the first episode.

We'll look forward to hearing the lame excuse you'll have when your eliminated off DWTS. And, once again embarassing Wanganui, which you do so well.

Isn’t it obvious where Mickey got the “broken toe idea” … look at all the media attention that mad headline grabber Heather Mills McCartney is getting from going on DTWS with a WOODEN LEG!
Heather Mills: Unlikely My Leg Will Fly Off on Dancing


Heather Mills has gone out on a limb in talking about her upcoming stint on Dancing With the Stars. Discussing whether her prosthetic leg might come off while she's competing, Mills tells TV's Extra, "I'm quite happy to be thrown around, and hopefully my leg will stay on."

But don't worry, she says: "It's very unlikely my leg is going to fly off, although it would be quite funny.” With a laugh, she also says of dance partner Jonathan Roberts, "I don't want to let Jonathan down or give anyone in the audience a heart attack."

But at least mad Mills has the good sense to stay away from the kind of outfit chosen by mad Mickey … “Modesty, if not age, may keep her from donning those revealing DWTS outfits: "Now I'm hitting 40, I think I'll keep my tummy covered.

Various sad and desperate goons have been telling us that "Michael Laws is good-looking."

Whatever their motives, it surely points to a gulf, a yawning chasm in information available to Wanganui voters.

Oh, don't be stupid. We can still slam loser Laws as being a big mouth talkback host. Maybe he'll screw up one day and get his "hands slapped" by the BSA.

His next talkback episode will be to badmouth his successor on RadioLive.

And, to dodge accusations of money laundrying from Wanagnui's coffers.

Why I'd gather a group of individuals and find a good Queen's Counsel to take that loser to court after Oct. 9th.

See, there's plenty of things to do to Mickey with "Wanganui after Mickey".

Yeah Mickey, That big toe is really going to hurt when it has to bear load on it.

And since the bone will not be completely healed (remember....the older we get, the longer our bodies take to heal), I'd wager you'll re-break that fracture.

I'd like to see you do a "Rodney Hide" on DWTS. Maybe if you fall just right, you might even get Lauren to break something.

That would be interesting to see you both eliminated hobble off back to Wanganui with your "tail between your legs".

The bad part would be, that Lauren de Boeck won't be able to file charges against your silly ass. I'd like to see you try to win the legal battle against ACC of you having to pay for your own medical expensives. Especially when you were advised by doctors not to bear load on that broken toe.

An excerpt from the Wanganui Chronicle:


"It takes a good toe to tango

31.03.2007
By MARY BRYAN Mary.bryan@wanganuichronicle.co.nz
YESTERDAY’s hot weather caused more than perspiration for Dancing with the Stars hopeful Wanganui Mayor Michael Laws.

Last night he was at home on a sofa having broken his right big toe in two places after opening a door to get some air into the Wanganui Dance Club studio in the Darts League Hall, Heads Rd.

The injury has put a large question mark over his participation in TVNZ’s hit series Dancing with the Stars, due to go to air in 10 days time.

“ The doctors have told me I shouldn’t attempt any activity on my right foot for three to four weeks.""

And, you are quoted to have full knowledge of the doctor's orders.

I've printed a copy of that article and I'm willing to submit it as evidence against you, boy.

It's obvious that you'll attempt dancing on DWTS for your own motives, rather than withdrawing for the safety of your dancing partner.

I hope TVNZ gets sued for allowing to compete when it is common knowledge that the doctors and you being aware that you shouldn't.

But, if Lauren consents to dancing with your crippled ass, and she takes a tumble and gets hurt. I have no sympathy for her either.

But, then again, I wouldn't expect anything less from an egocentric maniac such as yourself, Mickey.

Break a leg, Mickey.

Wow! Who's seen the Ron Janes column in the Chron. It's hot stuff and you can bet the editor is in big trouble with the mayor for running it so prominently (she even stuck his referendumb promo down the bottom of the page).

It was always going to be a mean and nasty business when Janes and Laws fell out, but who would have expected Janes to spill the beans quite so publicly.

He sheets the Winc disaster home where it belongs, with Mickey and his lapdog Rangi Wills. But also remember that the rest of the lackeys in and outside the diVision tent have gone along with this amazing waste of ratepayers money on Michael Laws Inc.

Mickey must have been spewing ... bet he can't help himself writing a letter to the ed and putting his foot in it even further. It's good that this has come out at the time of the latest referendumb because people are asking why they weren't consulted about the whole Winc thing but they are treated like idiots and expected to vote on nonsense like the gang bylaw, soft water etc etc.

There's no such thing as coincidence. So the scientists tell us, at any rate. Breaking your toe is a convenient way of not being shown up by the other dancers. Lauren de Boek hints at Mickey's endemic negativity in the Chron interview.

Whew, I almosted missed this loser Laws supporter's comment. Thank goodness I noticed it before the post was closed to further comments.

Well, let's see. I can't recall Mickey calling out any anti-Laws supporter to confront him.

So based on that fact, we're all on a "level playing field".

And since you've displayed the classic loser Laws supporter that alleges that us anti-Laws folks, as stating: "they spout defamatory allegations without any proof."

How about entertaining me and come up with some significant examples?

You're another loser Laws species that can't seem to come up with any supporting statements to your idle claims.

Let's continue on. Oh yeah..."Most of the people who are in this blog are mentally ill or socially deficient."

That's a laugh...Are you medically qualified to make such a determination?

Most likely than not, the answer obviously is **NO**

Continuing on, "They hate Michael Laws because he is a tall poppy and they are motivated by their own inadequacies."

I'll agree, loser Laws can be associated as a "tall poppy" in that he's always appears to be on a "high", as displayed by his questionable practices.

"Motivated by their own adequacies."

Mickey attempting to dance on DWTS and risking the safety of his dancing partner is proof enough of an individual being motivated by his own inadequacies. However, I like to call Mickey as being desperate.

Yep Mickey, keep moving that fractured toe around. Hopefully the bone splinters are slicing up some sinew.

Yep, and I'll treat your kind like going to the circus to watch the Freak Show.

This an aside but I take issue with any supposed fans of ML postings on LW -all one of you. I actually run a business in Wanganui and have for many years- two of my family were ardent ML supporters -not any more . Ran a survey on my clients and interestingly enough the answers tallied with exactly what was posted on this blog. People that voted for ML last election and freely admitted they did to a last ditch man aren't voting for him this time - why - because of his vitriolic carry on - because of his well recognised running with the hares and hunting with the hounds and whats more most said as Vision came in as a party it has to go out as a party. Approximately 5% were still enamoured with the lower rates but most people seemed to realise that the lower rates had come at a cost which we will see after the next election.

Hey Mickey, Get your head out your arse. Banning gang colours is not going to stop the escalating crime in Wanganui.

As displayed in today's Chronic,


"He (Michael Laws) said the proposed anti-gang regalia local law, supported by the Wanganui District Council and local MP Chester Borrows, “will at least prevent gang intimidation in the CBD and public places”."

Now that made about as much sense as a box of rocks.

I have to ask you a question to your comment made in the Chronic.

Do you act like you're stupid, or, are you really that stupid?

Gang violence won't be reduced, but we won't feel intimidated when we get robbed by a gang member.

How about this for a better "At least"?

At least, if the perpetrator is wearing his/her gang colours, the victim can**at least**let the constable know what gang committed the crime.

Mickey, I suggest you get drug screened, immediately.

Since when did a picture embroidered on a piece of fabric intimidate anyone..except for senior citizens?

It's the individuals that make the trouble that need to be banned--not--a patch, and fat chance on that happening.

When I'm walking around the CBD and see a gang member, they don't bother me.

Alot of gang members don't like to stared at.

All Mickey is doing is "demonizing" gangs and not reaching out and talking to the gang leaders.

Banning their gang colours will only make things worse, I shit you not.

A diplomatic approach would be the best choice. And, if all else fails, consider banning the gang colours.

Finally, if Wanganui plans on wanting to be a "big" city, it's only natural that Wanganui will have "big city" problems.

Plus, according to Stats NZ...Wanganui is going to have to get that population to a minimum of 50,000 even to be declared a "City". So, you'll 8000+ more people there.

This fool Mickey, can't even handle 42,000 people.

Having a hot head mayor like Mickey, only makes things worse...Throw that bum out..There should have been a "No Confidence" hearing against that idiot a long time ago.

All Mickey is "trying" to do is make the Wanganui crime rate soar.

Now, have a think on that for awhile.
