    Chuckle, chuckle. Manhire is a breath of fresh air.

    Chuckle, chuckle again at Bea B’s response in the comment section.

    I thought Fletcher went through all the normal appointment procedures.

    I know truth doesn’t matter to you when it comes to John Key but Helen Clark openly admitted she shoulder-tapped people for top jobs eg in the police and Key did no more than suggest to Fletcher that he apply for the job – after which he had to go through the normal process. You do after all describe yourself as a journalist rather than a humorist and I am not sure which description is more accurate.

    Otherwise your usual level of hilarity – how on earth do you dream up such witticisms as the one on Gareth Morgan?

      I didnt read the comments but she conveniently/purposely colours over the FACt (as stated in the SS report that Key told Rennie that he, Key, would contact Fletcher himself). No matter how often “Bea Brown” is shown the facts “she” repeats the lies which points very squarely to a certain motivation.

        That certain motivation…….well of course to turn the untruth into truth, or some passable facsimile thereof, with passive-aggressive venturings/musings like “I thought…..” Very HollowWoman of her. All in worship of TheGodTheKeyAndTheHolyAlohaCoast. The secret hand of Cros-Bea-Text-Her.

      Bea got her beans from the commenters. She got a right bollocking. Wonder if she had a chuckle and a wine and went off to sort out the roses.

      Bea B seems to be on FJK’s staff, along with Fisiani. Given the ability to write such abject lies with a straight, hmmmm, typing finger, probably in a senior position.

      The only similarity with the appointment of a police commissioner is that a commissioner must come from inside the police, while a GCSB boss must come from within FJK’s personal friends.

    Dotcom is ruled out as the next person to head the GCSB because he is not partisan to Key and Dotcom just might overfill Key’s cell phone with text messages. (Dotcom just loves pushing anything with a key pad).

    Johnny English gets my vote.

    Not only is he fictional, he’s popular, British and NZ can pay his salary under license to the film industry.

    Key will look for someone from the “hollow men” stable that he can control like an android on his Planet Key.

    Maybe Don Brash?
    His name fits Keys ilk of arrogance?

      Maybe Wayne Mapp is angling for the job.
      Oh dear, that would mean a few of us are ‘gone for a sixer’.

        Give it to Wayne and PG on a joint basis. That’d stop them both posting here.

      disturbed-No! No!-Don Brash in charge of the GSSB?- You have ruined 2015 for me.
      Ehh Frankly you’ve probably disturbed the GCSB staff and will cause mass resignations.

    Colonel Klink & Sgt Shultz get my vote.

    Give the job to Whalespew. Get the riots started sooner by making things more obvious.
