Did you see Phil Goff front up on Close-Up tonight to debate the Richard Worth resignation with Cam Slater, better known to the blogosphere as WhaleOil?
You didn't? No, neither did we! And Mark Sainsbury seemed to be quite delighted when he told his audience that Phil Goff had refused to go on the show with WhaleOil, because the Whale had said nasty things about Labour.
Poor Phil. He should realise that WhaleOil says nasty things about everyone - even John Key and the National Party. Phil doesn't seem to understand that the Right can handle critcism from within - unlike Helengrad, where toeing the party line was mandatory, and failure to do so was punishable by a tongue-lashing from Heather Simpson.
Anyway, the upshot is that WhaleOil will have another scalp to go on his trophy wall, and Fearless Phil looks anything but! And here, as a public service, is the video of the Whale's visit to TVNZ...

How ever partisan one might be it is obvious that Slater is a particularly nasty piece of work.
Goff told key about the first allegation a month ago
if it had been around the other way it would have been leaked to slater who would have spun his vileness around the issue
TVNZ must have lost the plot
`Phil In' Goff is a career politician and should have been able to deal with WhaleOil Anon.
INV2 I agree Sainsbury seemed to enjoy the no show - I always had him down as being left leaning but perhaps he goes with the flow and favours those in power.
Did anyone hear Mike Hosking this morning? If Graham Henry is looking for a `left winger' he might be an option. He was almost rabid in supporting Goff and highly critical of John Key - there was no balance.
