    Hello. Is that you Stamper?

  • Alfie,

    I just listened to Guyen Espinar interviewing the PM on the ponytail affair -- talk about dancing on the head of a pin.

    Key said that he had taken legal advice on McCready's Male assaults Female case, but "wasn't 100% sure" whether that was in a private or official capacity. There's that damn hat thing again. Maybe he should just come clean and admit he wears his jester's hat.

    When asked if he's embarrassed New Zealand given the derogatory headlines he'd achieved around the world, Key said, and I kid you not...

    "We live in a global world..."

    Well, doh!

    Espiner dug further. "Do you do this to other women?"
    PM: "I don't think so."
    GE: "You don't think so?"

    Espiner asked if the ponytail pulling was sexist. Key said "No."
    GE: "Would you have done it to a man as well?"
    PM: "Yeah, I could have."

    Wow! Send your photographs of our PM pulling waiters' hair to...

    Why do regular contributors to this site resort to vile ad hominem stuff like comparing Bob Jones to a turd ?

    But those cute brown shar pei puppies in the Roly bum fodder ads were chosen because of the breed’s subliminal resemblance to healthy human excrement, and kiwis took them to their hearts.

  • fredster jones,

    key a victim of his success eh alfie? How pitiful is it that his longstanding detractors like you can only highlight a hair-pulling episode as supposedly stark evidence as to his unsuitability to run the country? Very pitiful.

  • Rosemary McDonald,

    Back to the show....

    I think Ali Mau speaks for many at around about 13.00 mins in this....

  • fredster jones,

    Watched that show Rosemary. Again a reminder of when pinkos feel the need to abuse somebody, they wear that smug disposition of naturally having the truth on their side.
    Like the show ended with "well, you could keep Hosking in Auckland." Chortle, chortle, chortle. "Ah, but you presume we would want him." Chortle, chortle, chortle.

    And what's Hosking's crime? 1. Very successful with huge listenership and viewing stats. 2. He has a different point of view.

    Similar to the vitriol on this site of comparing Bob Jones to a turd.
    And what's his crime? 1. He has a big readership. 2. He has a different point of view.

    And what about that bullshit nonsense about Christchurch not having a television forum to discuss their earthquake-related problems.

    Every time that falsity is put forward, the motioner conveniently makes no mention whatsoever of the local channel, CTV and the many earthquake-issue series that have appeared and continue to appear on that channel.

    Oh no, referring to that reality would obviously undermine this bogus claim that Cantabrians are being starved of the opportunity to discuss various issues on their terms.

    you can only highlight a hair-pulling episode as supposedly stark evidence as to his unsuitability to run the country?

    No ,wrong ,we here analyse and comment on many of the lies and theft and social inequity that Key and his cronies manage along with Keys immature ,inappropriate all confirming dubious behaviour that shows in his childish bully way. Your sycophantic defense of such idiots like Key, Bob Jones, showing the same idiotic behaviour, tells me much about you. Pure ignorance is bliss innit?
    Anyhow enough time spent on you methinks.

  • fredster jones,

    Touched upon the truth didn't I Sofie? Hence your abusive, patronising bile.

    You can sure give it out Sofie but can you take a bit of your abuse back?

    I doubt it.

    Watched that show Rosemary.

    Maybe....but did you actually listen to what the people said?

    I doubt it.

    Because you still don't get it.

    The only narrative is not yours.

    As yet, and I'm sorry (not really) if it disappoints, but the rest of us are allowed opinions too.

    But why is ad hominem abuse invariably attached to the opinions Rosemary?

    Barely and as even the biggest lies depend on an element of truth then I have to agree.
    I am left wondering, however, why you even bothered to write anything on this forum, considering you have little or no respect for the opinions of anyone here, could it be you are Bob the Building Speculator himself or just someone who aspires to being just like him. Either way I feel a little sorry for you. It must be a sad life to spend your time looking up to those that have squeezed as much as they can out of as many as they can for as long as they can and regard them as successful, you must feel so inferior.
    Personally I have no time for the greedy, they are their own enemy and those that worship them are their cannon fodder and slaves.
    If you were, for one moment, to remove your head from the lap of one of your idols, you may see that Gods and Daemons wander this Earth with impunity, they are the people that get noticed.
    The thing is, Mr. Jones, is that the Daemons think they are the Gods and do their best to destroy all that is good.

    Funny how it's ad hominem to call Jones a turd, but it's not ad hominem to call other people "pinkos"...

  • fredster jones,

    not bad efforts rob, linger and alfie. Lacking my core honesty and sharp wit... but what else should I expect from some fairly bitter lefties staring down the barrel of a four-term key government.
