Terrible news that 'The Standard' has terminal cancer. I don't read 'The Standard' much, so appreciate I am coming to this issue late, but it is terribly sad that they now have the tedious and dreadfully dull Imperator Fish as a regular columnist in their attempt at a broadening humor that will appeal beyond their fetish with Farrar and Slater (for the record Farrar and Slater are supposed to be mocked, not taken seriously).I don't make a habit of feuding with other bloggers, and Bomber is perfectly entitled to consider me "dreadfully dull" (and if you met me in real life you would probably concur).
Why The Standard thinks it needs more of a sanctimonious whiney tone by bringing on Imperator Fish is anyone's guess, next they'll be appointing Tim Watkins as Editor and anyone who wrote for The Listener post Findlay McDonald.
Eeeew.
The Standard will be sadly missed.
But I do wonder how someone as hectoring and opinionated as Bomber can describe The Standard as having a "sanctimonious whiney tone" without a hint of irony.
'Cause he's a twat? That's my working hypotehsis anyhow.
ReplyDeleteWhen Bomber pans a fellow envy ridden hate filled lefty blog you know they are in trouble. -)
ReplyDeleteWhen James pans an "envy ridden hate filled lefty blog" you know they are causing some angst to bigoted righties. Why else would the righties be employed to attempt to undermine issues which may point to NACT vulnerabilities?
ReplyDeleteI feel Bomber has an over-inflated sense of his own self-importance
ReplyDeleteI also thought Bomber saying The Standard has a fetish with me was equally ironic as he has whined for months about the fact I got asked to write some media columns.
ReplyDeletePoor Martyn Bradbury (I refuse to call him "Bomber"; he's more like a pale imitation of Wolfie Smith) seems to be having a bit of a mid-life crisis. I guess that's what the Mana Party does to you. Crikey; even Len Brown has turned on him!
ReplyDelete"Stentorian drone" surely?
ReplyDeleteI'd consider such criticism for him as a badge of honour.
ReplyDeleteYip. You've certainly hit the big time when Bomber takes his aim with the pistol of truth, Scott! You may be taking some spotlight (?) away from him thus the retaliation.
ReplyDeleteOr he's just jealous. Which would be funny. Very funny.
