the leader of the national party even hiding from granny herald live chat

Posted by Trevor Mallard on October 31st, 2011

Key & English have declined an offer of a live chat with Herald readers.

Capture

Missed this to get it out in time for David’s chat. But thought the pattern of the skipper skipping possible hard questions is instructive.

    The leaders of the national party cannot be caught out lyeing too many times before the election as they will run out of B.S. credits. This is a big problem because lyeing is so habitual for them and they are afraid they could let on slip at any time.

    Key only wants to front up when the questions are “pre scripted” .
    Remember once before on the radio when his staff were caught out ’screening’ calls.

    Monkey is so smooth with his politics, but so desprate to get that handshake.

    Monkey said his only mistake was that “I did a bad job of spinning the BMW’s to the public”! Appart from that he truely believes he’s perfect.

    Phil Goff is the peoples man, not some slick wanker like monkey, but a straight up good guy.

    English and Key are like the All Blacks in the last 3 minutes. Desperately sitting on the ball and not making any real plays just in case they screw it all up. They’re just waiting for the clock to run down.

    Aw, Viper :-( , don’t insult the All Blacks! :-( :-( :-( !

    Oh Spud, ponder this, Graham Henry and Ritchie McCaw will be made knights. Which recent world championship netballer was made a Dame for winning the Netball? Are our most deserving of our highest acolades really sports people??? Russell Coutts award was a joke. I LOVE sport, but I keep it in perspective.

    We have our awards upside down. People ought to attend an awards ceremony and hear the amazing things done by those who don’t get knighted or dammed. The world is upside down my friend.

    @ Viper,,I agree with much of what you say, but those last 5 minutes of the world cup final were an example of true leadership.

    The allblacks under McCaw took the ball in and held it in teh forwards, with no lapse of concetration from anyone, no mistake, a set goal, the team was held togehter by shear force of will and they achieved there goal. They took the hard road, and sucked up the pressure, did not bend or flinch, did not drop the ball and put there bodies on the line, on the back of strong leadership.
    The took the hardest choice to make, in deciding to hold it in with that much time to go.

    Thats how i see phil goff, hes not flashy, he does not come across well, but how on earth has he managed to hold his team together in face of horrible polls, how on earth has he managed to hold the team together and have no obvious descent from teh team over policys like CGT and raising super ann?
    By all rights Labour should be in tatters with other mps bagging phil with polls like they have, but all we see is a united front.

    Message to Phil and teh team, dont go after Key, everyone likes him, looks how villified Quade cooper has become after him going after mccaw.

    Go after the team, No one likes english,Brownlee and his high vis vest, the balled guy who talks down to everyone (joyce i think), the scary female MP who is in charge of corrections, Team for Team labour is way better, Man for Man you cant beat Key, he appears to nice.

    @ Tracy
    Knights should be names on the overall work they do for NZ, id imagine Ritchie would be embarrassed to be names a knight for winning a world cup. After all the Kiwis are world champs, the netballers were world champs,
