Is it over for Rann?

People in Glass houses???????????????

Bit rich coming from your neck of the woods

It would appear that the alleged sexual relationship took place with Rann and Chantelois, but you would have to question the integrity of Chantelois, why would you bare all like that and tell the world!
If money is the motive, she is crazy, let sleeping dogs lie! IMO What she was syaing makes not only Rann look bad but more so herself!

Money is a great motivator - large amounts more so.
And of course if you were working as a waitress and you no longer have your job or your marriage, even through your own silly choices, it gets even more powerful.

Money or guilt?
And TV ratings are extremely important................................especially for TV stations.
And now I realize why Graham Archer has always reminded me of a "sh^thouse rat"

Seems funny that the Libs are not all over this , calling for Ranns head. Must be more than a few skeletons in their closet that the Labor party know about. Or am I reading too much into the deafening silence ?

[Choccies]

Well, he does admire Bill Clinton but a cigar does show a bit more imagination than just bending her over the desk.

Mrs Jimmy - didn't think the little twerp had it in him

Kevin Rudd - Mike Rann sticks up for his state more than any other premier - gotta admit, he does go beyond the call for duty - appropriate coin of phrase there Kev

He didn't... he had it in Mrs Chantelois !!

I know who we need:

This has it's own momentum, they don't need to say anything. Sure there would be heaps of skeletons in the cupboard on both sides, there may be some sort of "gentleman's agreement" on these matters

Has denied it in press conference...
This is getting better by the minute....

[Gingernuts]

Yep, it looks like he's going to fight it. Will be very interesting to see how this one plays out. I don't think it's going to damage his standing very much to be honest. Watching her last night, it all seems a bit dodgy to me.

I would think he has denied to see how much "proof" the woman has. If she doesn't have any then he looks good for denying if she does well then he is up sh!t creek without a paddle.

[A Mum]

Didn't see the whole interview - but just watched part of it on the news website.

A little technicality that I find interesting is that she says "Mike Rann"
If you had an intimate relationship like she says with someone - wouldn't you refer to him as just "Mike"

[Jimmy_041]

Lot of SMS's for no result if he wasn't banging her

He cant deny his phone records (which we paid for)

[blueandwhite]

Now that he's denied it: if he is lying he has just committed political suicide.

[JK]

I say this chick is lying, surely she'd need a lot more $$ than she's getting to let Mike perform the old slippendictome, I mean c'mon have a look at the bloke!!

[lesthemechanic]

Nor really, unless she has some evidence , which is probably why he has been told to deny it. They probably waited to see how the public reacted to the woman, then once they found quite a bit of the public are not sympathising with her, deny, deny, deny!!! Smart really

[silicone skyline]

Rann's blaming Channel 7, not her for saying it. I find that interesting.

Would not think she or her advisors would have gone down this path without something pretty damn solid..
That coupled up with the way 7 are drip feeding the whole thing might just suggest the big bang (no pun intented) is yet to come ??

Who would you rather sue, who has the cash ??

It will get really interesting if that is the case......

Seven provided the medium, but if she's the one doing the lying, surely you'd be angry at her too??

You can't get angry at such a close personal friend...
