"but it's pretty easy just to call someone "a dork" and sit smugly back in your office chair..."

A very succint description of blogland. We reserve the right to sit in our office chairs and call anyone a dork.

Seriously though....perhaps if our MSM representatives, especially the Television lot, were more interested in the news than in how they themselves come across on TV, we may be a little kinder on them.

JC entering the scrum with a subtle duck and dodge routine was one of TV's finest moments.

Free Me - Uriah Heep
I wanna Know what Love is - Foreigner
Bliss - Dudes
Loyal - Dave Dobbyn
I would do anything for love, but I won't do that! - Meatloaf & H.Broad (2007 re-mix)
Jailhouse Rock - Elvis

ok, you're right it is too easy...

Have to say I was totally impressed with Mr Bain from what I saw on the news last night. He faced that media scrum like a pro. No sign of bitterness or hatred, no ranting....he has a new career opportunity as a media trainer for NZ politicians.
