Goff on 7 Days

Phil Goff was very relaxed and funny on 7 Days – he should do more stuff like that.

7 Days is a great programme – love watching it every week.

Agree. He surprised by having his wits about him. Must have been the hair dye. Makes you wonder whether his other gaffes are orchestrated sabotage by his confidants.

Hard to belive it was Phil. He was very engaging.

I still won’t vote for him or Labour but the left is not his target to get votes from.

Thanks for the heads up. I had overlooked that it was back on.
The website says that last night’s episode should be available from midday today.

Phil is just like that when you meet him outside of politics. Pleasant, engaging, sharp mind and long memory for people. Would make a great Ambassador. Invite him to my house any day. Plenty of pollies I wouldn’t.

i liked it when he was asked why he ‘wasn’t as good as this in his other media appearances’…

he has also been more relaxed/on-to-it on his breakfast appearances..

..some yogic-breathing wouldn’t hurt him..in fact..some yoga wouldn’t hurt him…

..he is on top of the knowledge needed to do the job…

..and when relaxed he demonstrates that mastery clearer …

and yes star-bored..he most definitely can smell victory…

..and you..if you have any brain/perception at all..should have the stench of defeat filling your nostrils..

…act is toast…there is no way the maori party membership will let them go with national again..

..(all they have to tell them is that they will roll them…and install hone in their place…)

and english wants to lose this election…to regain the leadership mantle..

…i think the key-tide has already turned..eh..?

..and it will only become worse for us – and so for you – between now and november…

and heaven forbid they fumble the cup…eh..?

that could bring on a landslide/rout…

Well Phil Goff is far closer to Act than you bother to think about. Its his queer and nutty fellow traveler’s in the Labour Cacaus that’s the problem. Still many of them will be gone soon.

and you are right about key, for once. Honeymoon is going to hard grind. At last.

Goff the next PM? Perish the thought.

New Zealand jumped from the pan (Labour) to the fire (Labour-lite), so a return to the despised socialists would be extremely disappointing and a strong reason to seek voluntary exile in Australia.

The timid National Party supporters of spineless John Key and incompetent Bill English will take a big hit, if that happens.

i agree goff has been on the right of labour..

but i thinks he senses the changing-times/imperatives…

..and the long-marginalsed left/green factions in labour..

..are in the ascendant…

lab/grn/maori party +? (if needed..)..it will be…

and one-term-john it is…

philu said “lab/grn/maori party +?”

“?” is the most polite way that someone could refer to Winston

I guess it’s telling when the only place that Phil Goff, political veteran that he is can get any traction is on a comedy show

Basically he sat there and was insulted for being bland, ineffective and uninspiring for two minutes. Not sure that will win many votes, but was pretty funny.

Paul Ego’s question of Mr Goff was hilarious, but completely hit the mark.

“Mr Goff, why aren’t you always this good on Television?”

Seven Days….
Seven Days of what?
Who / how many watch ?

I dont / wont. Like most folk, I have something better to do.

As for the Great Unwashed that are likely to be swayed by that sort of BS…. not one, in seven days, seven weeks, seven months or seven years.

So DPF….. What makes it great? Please come back to earth.
