I didn't get why Goff's office would have been so keen for him to do Close Up (I think they may even have called to say he was available), but the fact of his previous heads-up to Key explains that.
In truth, I think his understandable refusal to appear alongside Slater may have done him a favour.

Yet here comes Scott Roeder and his actions reflect on me because we held the same belief - George Tiller killed vulnerable human beings for a living.
I guess I just want to distance the actions of those who would do violence.
Fair enough, Tess. I disagree with you strongly on some issues, but I appreciate the way you express your feelings and ideas.

The man who murdered Tiller wasn't acting as part of a group as far as we know.
Neither were Timothy McVeigh or Eric Rudolph, but they all had associations with similar groups (Rudolph both before and after he bombed a clinic). It seems to be a "lone wolf" style. But that doesn't make it not terrorism.
Compare it with actual agreed terrorist organisations, say the IRA. In the "Troubles" hundreds died, in the worst year, 1972, 476 people were killed and this in a country tiny by comparison to America.
Or you could bundle up all the people killed in attacks by people from the Freemen/militia/extreme-pro-life world. There are many hundreds there.
If this is a concerted terrorist effort, frankly, it sucks.
Well, clearly, it works pretty well if there are only two doctors in America prepared to carry out a legal procedure.

I just don't see what Rob's point was with that 'it should be acknowledged' comment.
You get used to it. Anyway, must go make a television programme. I presume one of our guests will have interesting gossip.

Frankly, I am not the typical phenotype for models from this publication. I'd be a bit more suited to appearing in publications with titles like "Big and Beardie" or "Long-Haired Hippy Layabouts".
Ah. You're a bear.
My friend Dave in London used to look with great lust at pictures of the Grateful Dead. No, really.

Oh. Totally not.

I'm thinking Jack must be quite hot too.

On Newstalk ZB:
Key had investigated Worth before
03/06/2009 15:03:40
The Prime Minister has dropped another bombshell on his way into the debating chamber, revealing it is not the first time he has investigated Richard Worth for allegedly harassing women.
Whoops. I wonder if he thought that was off the record ...

That's not meant as an insult or to be critical ..
No, it never is, Rob. Really, I'm tired of this.
I'm thinking the whole issue of blogs take over for newspapers
Go and argue the point with someone who actually said that, please.
