Hard News: Tired and emotional, for reals, in reply to Craig Ranapia,
You're far too modest to say so, Russell, but for an evil bitching blogger you did a pretty good job of promptly retracting and correcting a post that, in part, was highly critical of MSM non-coverage of the PM's brain-fart that wasn't at the Pacific Islands Forum stand up with Hillary Clinton.
For me, the most interesting things were (a) that I and others were prepared to believe that the transcript was accurate and the comment had been missed by reporters, and (b) that no one else seems to read official transcripts.

Sorry for riding a hobby horse again, but before we Middle Earthicans get too smug it might be worth asking how many of us would go stand in line after work on a Tuesday in winter to vote.

It occured to me that he isn’t a young – or even reasonably fit middle aged – man anymore. Maybe it is as simple as he just can’t hack the pace on these big overseas assignments anymore.
I was thinking about that. I'd struggle with that itinerary, and I do consider myself reasonably fit.

And just as I hit “publish” here, Gordon Campbell has published a long and thorough response to Armstrong’s complaints.
And now Edwards himself has responded, with remarkable grace.
