14 July 2013
What an interesting metamorphosis John Key has gone through. At the start, he took pains to be Mr Nice Guy, which worked like a charm, embracing the electorate. He started to change by the start of his second term, building and tweaking his team to leave him time for his photo-opportunities.
Now, we roll forward to July 2013, and we see another side of Key - the smarmy, smart-arse tosser side. Trying to take the piss out of Kim Dotcom by calling him a conspiracist is one thing, but threatening to remove funding from a legislated agency because he doesn't like what they've said?
I've said that Key was the worst PM we've had since Muldoon, but I might have re-think that and say he's the worst ever. He has Muldoon's arrogance, but in Key's case, it isn't tempered by an evil laugh.
I doubt Muldoon even at his Stalinist best wouldn't have dismissed a report in the manner Key did.
When will the great unwashed electorate wake up to the fact that our Prime Minister is a conniving, lying, arrogant sack of shit?
