Key crumbles

Winston Peters has begun to tighten the screws and John Key looks grey around the gills as a result. The tea-pot tapes have handed Peters the perfect club with which he can casually bludgeon Key from now to electoral extinction and the strong possibility that Key talked disparagingly about the elderly during his unsavoury 'Epsom tea-party' is a huge weapon for Peters and anyone else so inclined, to use to knock Key out. No wonder he wants to keep the tapes under wraps!
Fancy Winston returning from oblivion to wreak havoc on National's election prospects. It all seemed so certain just a week ago....

John Key to reporters:

"What happens if a couple of high-profile New Zealanders that are married have a conversation about their son or their daugther being suicidal, a Sunday paper reports that, and that child takes their own life."

What an offensive and less than tenuous link. It's as awful as his equating this with the NOTW scandal and then having the lawyer for the child involved in that terrible Rupert Murdoch flavoured act denounce John Keys interpretation and call for the publishing of the Tea Tapes.

Go Winston. Don't hold back.

This is so funny.

The more John fights this, and the longer that this goes on - the more people get paranoid that he was talking about them!

First it was Winnie, then it was Brash...now it is the elderly.

I think he was talking about me. : /

Key and Banks are married, Anonymous???

The elderly, Jacqueline, are not to be trifled with and Winnie will not just fan the flames from Key's tea-party chat, he'll give them full-bellows! It'll be a roasting! Sizzle sizzle!

I know Robert! The news was interesting for the first time in ages last night!

I am no fan of Winston Peters but this could get good!

I see Winston, standing at the head of an army of grey-beards, a gleam in his eye and in his hand the Sword of Vengence, glinting in the morning sun. In the distance, the hunched figure of key, scuttling for cover in the Dark Wood of Deception.
I hear the thunder of a thousand Zimmer frames....

Haha!

Jeez - now Key's done a Cartman and stormed out of a media conference.

Talk about losing it.

Key crumbles? Is that a dessert eaten with a cup of tea? Perhaps a heady mix of Key Lime Pie and Gooseberry crumble?

Flat white, on its own, please.

Shane - it's a dish best served cold, according to Winston.

Was it a 'you will respect my orthoritar!' moment?
