And so ends a great day’s trading under the erstwhile eye of Mr Key. Looks like they won’t be inviting John back to give the opening bell at the NYSE.

LOL that would be the Sadim Touch 🙂
Sprout You come on here an make a another negative post on our hero/God JK
Why don”t you say anything positive about him?. ,, You should post on leftwing blog if you feel like that
…oh
Actually he has never been invited to open Wall St – that was him ringing the closing bell. One does have to ask the question though: would you have given him praise and said “He has the Midas Touch” if it had been a massive rally? Or would you have made a post about how this rally is simply the dead rubber bounce in a depression economy and why hasn’t he given NZ a stimulus package?
It is this kind of “Tails I win, heads you lose” political commentary that drags down our entire national discourse.
umm let me think… yep I’d go with “dead rubber bounce”. maybe you should write for us STC?
but then again had there been a great rally, the NYSE would have had someone they respected ringing the closing bell instead of ringing-in a sap who’d do anything to get on TV no matter how inauspicious the association.
Sprout??
whatever happened to the bean?
I miss her/him
indeed. now there’s a real talent. the bean is well but busy germinating at present. i’ll pass on your comment in the hope it will encourage a re-emergence.
It being spring an all
quite 😉
Judging by most reports, I would say he wouldn’t be invited back.
The internet sure exposes us to a huge range of instant important events. This one reminds me of those clips of house demolitions. You know. 3,2,1 Zap. Down falls the dollar!
and the outpouring of bitterness towards JK’s new found popularity continues..
How can one outpour bitterness at a soundclip? I loved Max Headroom, lamented his departure and now….he is back in his new persona.
Opps, I meant to say,
Judging by most reports, I would say he WOULD be invited back.
Reminds me of one of the better quotes around: “He showed a frustration and impatience towards National still displayed by some of the shriller Labour-aligned blogs, which find fault with anything and everything the Key Government does while expecting their breathless critiques to somehow bring forward its demise.”
