Yes, he's been an imbecile, but this is the work of more than just this one.

It's tricky sometimes, when an idea or concept or metaphor becomes so much part of your belief system - e.g. the Stephen Covey "watering the bamboo" metaphor from 7 habits.
We call it feeding our son Joseph. He was a real shortie until his fourth year, when suddenly he grew 20 metres!
But seriously, we need to talk. I want to write a book about the history of the metaphors in motivational books, I find them endlessly fascinating. (I found Maltz's Psycho-Cybernetics in a bookfair this year and my life hasn't been the same since.)

I've often said that Roger Federer is easily the best tennis player since that one time my grandmother picked up a racket.

Garrett wasn't even on the ACT list back in July, but it suddenly seemed to become terribly newsworthy when he became an MP.
Er, come again? Of course it is more newsworthy now that the guy is a member of parliament. What an extraordinary thing to say.
You might also want to consider that the crew and production staff might have had better things to do with their severely limited time and money, than have shooting come to a halt because the talent is fuck-faced.
They could have made the call to not let him appear on the show, I suppose, although I imagine it's not something that they can do very lightly, but to claim that they had a responsability to do so seems extreme. Since when are journalists the handlers of spokespersons, or entrusted with guarding the public from protecting the public from the outbursts of idiots?

Adding to Russell's sporting congratulations, our man Lyndon has just come up with one of his best posts yet (and that's no peanuts).
