Worth-less John Key

National’s handling of this Richard Worth affair has been bad, both ethically and politically. Even worse for them, Labour leader Phil Goff has come out of it smelling like roses, ratcheting his profile up a few notches.
I assume Crosby/Textor are on holiday (celebrating a 2-point clarification from Nicky Hagar, perhaps?) because even John Key himself, who’s spin is usually water tight, is beginning to fall over.
For instance, this interview on RNZ Checkpoint last night is an absolute stunner. Key refuses to answer questions, attacks Goff, attacks the victim, defends Worth and gets caught out lying.
Also, on Breakfast, Paul Henry shakes off his bias and gives a Key hard hitting interview instead of a handjob. He’s been previously guilty of dishing up patsie but he can seemingly smell blood and really tears shreds off him.
Hmmm, as much as Paul Henry gets my goat, the reality is that he grills John Key better than anyone else currently in the media, it’s always as if as a former National Party candidate that Paul has been personally offended by the Prime Minister’s lack of a red neck. –Bomber Bradbury
Also… Textses? Piggy in the Middle? Was also funny to hear him saying “I don’t sack ministers on unproved allegations”, when that was what he was calling Clark to do to Winston last year. What happened to 1-strike you’re out?
Meanwhile, Kiwiblogh desperately tries to spin the issue off National and onto Goff – no surprises there.
