DAVID LANGE
Unfortunately, David Lange, great wit and 
storyteller will not be on stage for this Couch Stories show. But eleven other politicians will be!
"The only member of Parliament named after a concrete block" 
David Lange on Winston Peters
"I wouldn't call the Prime Minister gutless. That's all that's left of him"
David Lange on Robert Muldoon
 "A man who could eat a banana sideways"
David Lange on Michael Bassett
"He's not really in caucus lately." 
David Lange's reply to the question "Does God help you?"
"If the American global strategy is dependent on the ability of nuclear ships to come to New Zealand, then God defend the world."
David Lange on NZ's nuclear-free policy
