Gerry Brownlee is doing all these interviews where he is saying that "politics" are dirty now; while he was a total dick acting as Speaker. I don't watch Parliamentary TV that often but every time I saw him he was needlessly vindictive and objectively an asshole.

Seeing him in his "soft side" as his exit legacy is a bit disgusting. You can't spend years being an asshole and then afterwards expect people to remember you as a reasonable person based on a few interviews.
