Hard News: The next four years, in reply to Ian Dalziel,
Hah!
I completely failed to notice that Winston wasn't among the 'Ps' either...
<doh!>I still think Scott's dig at the queen should be held to account - or is this just the start of National's messing with the process - silly bluster followed by filibuster.

Clovis, we now know, was the Trump campaign official who oversaw George Papadopoulos and encouraged his efforts to meet with Russian officials. But what’s more interesting than what Clovis is is what Clovis isn’t.
For those who had not heard of Clovis before (which is pretty much everybody), he has been nominated to be the chief scientist at the Agriculture Department, a position that by law must go to “distinguished scientists,” even though he is, well, not a scientist. He is a talk-radio host, economics professor (though not actually an economist, either) and, most importantly, a Trump campaign adviser.and several others with dubious and unique skill sets...

“…an older male journalist who simply needs to, kind of, update or move on…”
There is no shortage of these it seems - Martin <cough> van Beynen.
