    Did anyone else notice how confused Dave Letterman was??...he kept shuffling his cue cards, looked like he didn't know what was going on...

    You can smell the Cinnabon's in the airport when you get off the plane in the States... they love their cinnamon for some strange reason...

    Well to me Letterman has always been a twit and what where the PR boys thinking off letting Key on there. Its was bad Karma all round I reckon! He made Key and NZ look like dorks.

    Without at least an interview, the whole thing came off as a bit demeaning IMHO.

    May be OK for the "Minister of Tourism" but surely the Office of Prime Minister of our country ought to hold a little more dignity than that!




    ...bet Obama was really impressed.

    Hopefully JK stays away from standup comedy routines..., but he did appear as a genuine bloke from a small country, on a big U.S. TV show.

    Any exposure like this, is good for our country.

    Genius.
    Honestly, he should pick up a couple of American tourists from the airport and take them to their hotel. The tourism marketing machine would love that exposure on U.S. TV!

    You know, I recon he did a good job, it's not like he wouldn'tve agreed to do that skit. He's not a dumb arse by any stretch.

    He personified what kiwis are all about.

    The thing is, I believe he probably would pick them up at the airport, if he says he would.

    John has personally reached out to a friend in crisis, when asked for help. And personally got the job done to eleviate the crisis.

    I like the bloke, he has time for people.

    I like that he can laugh at himself. He is real!

    What planet are you people on?

    He's 50 million dollars worth of banker with a cardboard personality, a forked tongue and about as much integrity as a used car salesman

    Lol at "you people" (who is you people?)

    That was my point that he's not a dumbarse.

    Mate I was a labour voter for years, due to personal experience - they have lost my vote for ever!

    I would suggest he has more personality than our last pm, and the opposition leader.

    How do you think Helen Clark would've dealt with Letterman, did she ever go on Letterman?
    Obviously not worth her time.

    Can you imagine it?

    She lost touch with her people a long time ago.

    Too much thinking! Too many Kiwis have forgotten how to enjoy the moment. David Lange's Oxford debate was genius. Sympathetic audience, sympathetic opposing team, great sound bites, long standing gain in reputation at no cost to NZ (The US can't defend you from Nuclear weapons, mmmkay?).

    John Key isn't intellectually oriented like Lawyer Lange was and wouldn't deal with a debate as well.

    Sound bites promoting NZ on a Globally distributed talkshow, while in New York teasing Helen Clark with Vogel's? Priceless.

    The number one on the top 10 list will be making NZ tourism dollars, right.....about.....now.

    Thank goodness he was honest (NZ is full of Dorks innit?) and didn't peddle this 100% pure bullshit!

    100% pure - yeah right - muscle cars, turbo this, turbo that, wood burners, cheap fuel - all this adds up to a country that prolly produces more CO2 per capita than China FFS!
    In space, no one can smell your fart.

    It doesn't actually because we don't burn anything like the volume of coal per head of population to generate electricity. I don't think people realise just how carbon-not-neutral China is. Oh yeah. They don't care either.
