Callow Key



cal·low

adj.

Lacking adult maturity or experience; immature: a callow young man.

Robert Winter, on his Idle Thoughts of an Idle Fellow blog, described John Key as 'callow', in response to Key's comments around the report on child poverty recently presented to Parliament and to the public this week, where he calls one of their major suggestions "dopey".


Robert also uses the term 'ineffable rudeness' in describing Key's behaviour. That's straight talking and a sad situation to find ourselves in when our Prime Minister behaves like this.


Very sad.

i notice , that the green perspective appears to one of criticism , finding fault , and personal attack,
surely such a movement with such high ideals would be better to demonstrate how they would do things better ,, more successfully,more viably, more equitably ,

" very sad " i agree

No, you're wrong, anonymouse. The Greens consistently demonstrate how they would do things better, more successfully, more viably, more equitably. It's just me who criticises, finds fault and attacks the person. No wonder the Greens haven't invited me to be their Southern spokesperson. You might note that I don't claim to be that, nor have I headed my blog with reference to the Greens. could it be that your belief that I'm speaking for the Greens is a figment of your imagination. Mine is not 'the green perspective', it's 'Robert Guyton's perspective.
Who'd have thought?

Oh yes, with a touch of conservatism and some blue, red, yellow and black in the mix.
