The Panel, with JIM MORA. Today's guest panellists: TONY DOE and JOSIE
McNAUGHT.
Many listeners to National Radio's The Panel (weekdays, 4 to 5pm) are
dismayed at the low calibre of discourse on the programme. While this
country has a number of intelligent and informed and wise thinkers,
it's disturbing and disappointing to see National Radio producers turn
repeatedly to commentators that are brazenly partisan (Stephen Franks,
David Farrar, Michele Boag, Nevil Gibson), smug and ill-informed
(Deborah Hill Cone, Irene Gardiner, Barry Corbett), or simply
bewildered (Gary McCormick, Peter Elliott, and that old fool that
calls himself "Grumpy Old Geezer").

Today's Panel discussions are largely unexceptional, with largely non-
controversial subjects, dominated by the power outage in Wellington.
controversial subjects, dominated by the power outage in Wellington.
But there is ONE topic of interest, at least for the team here at
Daisycutter Sports Inc.---today's announcement of a big loss ($15
million) for the year by the New Zealand Rugby Union. Jim Mora's
producers obviously have to get a rugby expert on to the show.
Unfortunately, however, any intelligent or astute rugby experts, like
Andy Haden or John Hart or Keith Quinn, are obviously too busy to
spare five minutes for The Panel. So National Radio listeners end up,
once again, with the worst person possible----the increasingly senile
and bizarre Sydney Morning Herald hack Spiro Zavos, who fits the third
category of substandard Panel contibutor: simply bewildered.

to consider seriously anything that Tony Doe, Jim mora, or

You may well be on the money when you describe Jim Mora as an "oily-
voiced overfed smug smarmy fuck", but personal style was not the issue
of my post. The issue was, and is, why the heck the producers insulted
the listeners by soliciting comment from someone as substandard as
Spiro Zavos. This wasn't the ABC, it was a New Zealand show. Which
makes the choice of that ignorant old fool even more mystifying.

Rick had no time for Zavos either. We all know that Rick was prone to
irrational outbursts and lapses of judgement (most notoriously, of
course, following the 1999 World Cup semi between the Tricolors and
All Blacks) but he did know his football, which is more than anyone
would say about that old fool.

Well, quite possibly. But that's a matter of opinion. Zavos'
incompetence is a matter of fact. And THAT is what should be troubling
you, as a football fan.

Do you have absolutely no life at all, Mowithey, you fat, sat, lonely
loser? It's bad enough that you are glued to the radio day and night,
desperately searching for something to be outraged about -- but why in
your most deluded imaginings do you think anyone else in the entire
universe would give a damp koala's fart about your fatuous, bilious opinion?

One need not "desperately search for something to be outraged about"
on the radio. Simply tuning in for a few minutes, as this writer
(i.e., moi) usually does, will confirm the vacuity and viciousness of
most of the stuff on the radio. Coming from the land of Alan Jones,
John Laws, Derren Hinch and Steve Price, you should be aware of that
fact.

Ooohhh, I think you know that people DO care about what I say. Check
back on some of my posts of the past, my friend. Of course, that
doesn't mean everybody will agree with EVERYTHING I say, and I
wouldn't expect them to.

Ignoring Zavos is what most people do. That's why he still has a job
on the SMH---nobody can be bothered responding to him. But, in fact,
if they're challenged, the likes of Zavos are immediately rattled, and
will respond just like he did on Thursday. While the likes of Two Dogs
