    You missed this bit of sour crap from the EPMU and Labour party funded Standard DPF.

    As most will know I am not a huge fan of John Key but in many ways he is a hard guy to dislike given his down to earth nature.

    The EMPU and Labour party funded Standard seem to think that the media’s job should be to attack Key every time they interview them, this is hilarious given the way the media gave Klark a free ride for nine years.

    Personally I have had a rough couple of days, seeing this post as the Standard had helped put a smile back on my face.

    Six Revisions has the 15 biggest Internet scandals of the last decade.

    And the very first one listed is Climategate. Bizarrely, he directs readers to Wikipedia’s article on this scandal for further information — clearly not knowing that the same Team whose emails were leaked control that Wikipedia article and block anyone adding inconvenient facts to it:
