Good grief ...
Initially Mr Key was left hanging as he emerged from his offices for a pre-arranged handshake for media with Mr Hide only to be told he had not arrived yet.
Mr Hide then made Mr Key wait inside the glass doors of the National offices for about two minutes while he spoke to media.

Looks like they're playing Snakes and Snakes.

Rollin' Rollin' Rollin'
Keep movin', movin', movin',
Though they're disapprovin',
Keep them doggies movin' Rawhide!
Don't try to understand 'em,
Just rope and throw and grab 'em,
Soon we'll be living high and wide.
Boy my heart's calculatin'
My true love will be waitin', be waiting at the end of my ride.Move 'em on, head 'em up,
Head 'em up, move 'em out,
Move 'em on, head 'em out Rawhide! -
But but but - it was so drinkable Russell! And I havent seen a 5 ounce glass in decades! Annd and - o whoa - who *did* that pony actually come from?
-
Call me a pessimist but the only pony we're likely to get from the new government is would also come with its own trap...
-
Someone trotted out an old nag called Roger that we thought had been put out to pasture, but then they promised they were getting it knackered.

From the Herald's blogger reaction roundup:
Whale Oil writes that ACT will be looking for the three strikes and you're out law and order policy, cutting government spending and dumping the emissions trading scheme.
"Brilliant and exactly why we needed a stronger ACT in government with National. Rodney should also make sure that Nick Smith is nowhere near anything to do with the environment."
Whale Oil finishes by adding to ACT's list that Roger Douglas be the head of the "Razor gang", establishing an independent anti-corruption commission and a "Commissioner of Unions to ensure open, transparent, accountable trade unions operate in the best interests of their members."
He is actually insane, isn't he?

Mr Key and his ponies is another meme that's off at a trot.
I just hope we don't get to see him having a pony*...
*in the Cockney rhyming slang sense.

Who/ Whale Oil? Nick Smith? Roger Douglas? 3 strikes and yr mad.

Oh, this is cool. Check out the picture on the front page of the Labour 08 campaign website.
The Herald is speculating it might be hackers, but I'm sure it's just a little black humour.

Dude, have you any idea of the stable fees?
Woke up this morning,
got myself a gun....
Sopranos will fix it!Call me a pessimist
pessimist.
Good grief ...
TV3 did a fine job of showing him doing all that. It was like a switch hunt for Key now Helens gone.

Thats what I was thinking about when I mentioned the trap.

Caught that Labour08 frontpage this afternoon - I wonder if they checked it with Saatchi and Toyota first. ;)
Wasn't sure how long it'd be up - so took a quick screen grab. If it does turn out to be just some black humor - I'm impressed.
Have been pondering this Oscar Wilde quote today.
"Always forgive your enemies, nothing annoys them so much."

Well, we know what 'merchant banker' is rhyming slang for as well. (Hey, I'm trying to be optimistic, but that doesn't mean that I have to like him).

John Key = Richard the Third.

That was Brash.

That was Brash.
Didn't mean to be ;)

in a mental happy place where you can almost sense your longed-for pony, some element of reality intervenes, and the result is several dozen boxes of Pedigree dogroll...
so my pony turned out to be a spotted nag, with Rodney up front and Tugger Douglas the horse's arse?

Mr Finlayson and Ms Kaye will be appearing together here

...and placing my pessimist hat on, I expect Wishart and Whaleoil to move through these progressively unpleasant phases:
1. Piling expectations on Key and Nat/ACT (done already).
2. Disappointment and at first blaming 'subversives'.
3. Noting that, following the precedent of the rabid right in the US claiming that Colin Powell is not a 'real' Republican when he endorsed Obama, Key might not be a real Nat.
4. Especially on the Wishart end (Whaleoil will go off about his sexuality or the irrefutable fact that he's a Freemason, Bilderberger, Trilateralist, Grey with a rubber mask or suchlike), noting the importance of a deep cultural commitment to Christianity in the practice of government.
5. Noting that Key is not a Christian...
I won't go further - I expect the certifiable Mr W to do that.
There, is that suitably depressing?

Canker?
Clue: starts with George Junior's middle initial.

OK ....f'kin loon.... Flanker?

The election is over, the sun came up ...
On a completely different topic, I booked a ticket for Leonard Cohen this morning, thinking he might be cheaper than BDO. There are two ticket options: $142 or $172 (both + $5 fee). Maybe I have been out of the loop for live concerts, but ain't that rather a lot??
Cheap at twice that price if this is anything to go by.
Wellington has sold out

Flanker
That's the NATO codename for the Sukhoi Su-27 family of fighters, in case you're interested.
