DPF has now knocked out two editorial roundups without mentioning the Super City City editorials, and seems to be actively allergic to to the topic
To be fair, that could be more to do with where he lives than anything else.

Worse than a "straw man", it's a smiling ass ass in.
this could sort itself out nicely -
don't asses eat straw?
oh hang on...
I'll bale then... -
Damn, that second eagle has turned out to be a Slater special.
-
Look! An eagle!
We really should get warning signs ;)

Rising Damp...

In a leaking apartment in Thorndon according to him on The Panel on RNZ yesterday...

A former associate of Rankin at the old East Coast Bays City Council, Graham Parfitt, said he showed "total disdain for the democratic process" back then and this had characterised his term as chief executive at Auckland City.
That makes him pretty much the top contender, I'd have thought. At least it'll be the first Mayor of Megatropolis who makes the appointment, not the ATA, or he'd definitely be a shoo-in as opposed to just probably being one. Certainly if Rodney was doing the appointing it would be a one-horse race and Rankin would be the horse.

Did I hear Rodney Hide on Morning Report say that Aucklanders are "sick of local government?" I think I did, and I felt a chill, and I thought of Brownshirts, so he must have said it.

Sadly, no

Ah, the sweet sweet allure of the Freikorps.
-
The lobbyists got a mention, didn't they?
Roads, mmmmore roads -
Question Time if anyone is interested...
Oh c'mon ,it can be funny. :) -

Cool it, chaps. Does ACT have an armed paramilitary force breaking heads in the streets of Auckland?
Hide isn't Hitler. He's Quimby.

Hmmm... more like Pinochet-ism minus the shooting.

# Russell Brown (226) Says:
March 16th, 2010 at 12:29 pmDavid, never, ever complain about the trivialisation of political news coverage again, huh?
[DPF: And have you seen the blog post by Grant Robertson of all people dedicated to the fact Steven Joyce text messaged etc during a road opening??]
slightly off topic but wow, thats what counts for a retort these days? a big shout of 'he does it to!'
how does that pass for a defence??

Well, twentysomething male brokers tend to be the most pugnacious group of individuals you will ever meet in Parenell and the Viadict, they're sort of a paramilitary.

At least Phil Twyford is reading Hard News Today. RB just got a mention in The House!
-
3410,
Yo, Sofie. Organised the M7 tickets?
-
So Mr Hide has "never agreed with any view that Russell Brown has."
-

If his Imperial Majesty of Kaipara Sir Allan Gibb's thought he needed one...
-
So Mr Hide has "never agreed with any view that Russell Brown has."
Can we list the others things we now know Rodney disagrees with?
-
What exactly was the quote from me that Twyford put to Hide in the House?
-

Well, clearly that's not true either.
-

He challenges the "Hide is outright lying as Russell Brown said this morning on Public Address" asking him to come clean to the public. In Question Time.

Wow. I don't pull my punches, do I? Just as well I'm on firm ground with that one.
Quite clever by Twyford -- he gets to basically call Hide a liar without breaching House rules.
