“Don’t You Know Who I Am?” No. 1: JAMIE McKAY (May 19, 2013)

“Don’t You Know Who I Am?”
No. 1: JAMIE McKAY
Short item on today’s Mediawatch programme on the hypocrisy of Radio Live’s bumptious farming show goon Jamie McKay. This low and insalubrious excrescence from Gore actually had the nerve to pass judgment on ex-National MP Aaron Gilmore for his drunken shenanigans in Hamner Springs; it now transpires that McKay himself has been censured for the same behaviour: threatening bar staff who failed to appreciate his genius and significance.
In the 1990s, McKay used to write a pisspoor sports column in the Southland Times. He was preoccupied with Jonah Lomu, who he pilloried week after week as unintelligent. McKay mocked Lomu’s way of talking, his lack of education (according to McKay) and his “laziness”. In other words, McKay had not watched Lomu play very much, but he had listened to, and absorbed every word spoken by, the motherlode of sporting opinion, Murray Deaker.
Radio Live has a horrifyingly bad line-up of substandard talent, but McKay is arguably the most obnoxious of all of them.

    The entire radio rant landscape is awash with folk whose best attribute is their arrogance and bias, leighton, Larry, mike, Danny , Kerry at ZB, basher Veitch and Deeks at Talk Sport then more of the same at key and Joyce’s own radio live soapbox where they specialise in former pollies or wannabe pollies like WJ/JT, laws (don’t worry he will be back) watch out for others like Henry/Hide etc
    • ghostrider8888.1.1
      that is interesting; Laws had been pleasant to listen to in his absence.

      Kerre Woodham is repellent. Just by chance, in the same Mediawatch programme, Colin Peacock recounted an incident from some years ago, when an intoxicated Woodham was in the limousine of former Deputy P.M. Don McKinnon, proceeding along a street in Wellington. She wound the window down, stuck her head out the window and bawled at a young man: “SHOW US YOUR WHIZZER!”

        Yes, well she’s been off the sauce for quite some time now, and while it’s probably not in the nature of a poisonous fungus like you to have empathy, I think it’s pretty poor form to keep throwing someone’s past mistakes in their face when they have overcome them.
        • Morrissey8.1.2.1.1
          Good to see our gallant friend Populuxe1 deciding to gallantly take a little time off from reiterating the lies of the United States and U.K. governments’ spin doctors and gallantly spring to the defence of la hellish dame sans merci….
          Yes, well she’s been off the sauce for quite some time now, and while it’s probably not in the nature of a poisonous fungus like you to have empathy, I think it’s pretty poor form to keep throwing someone’s past mistakes in their face when they have overcome them.
          If you’re looking for a poisonous fungus, you can’t go past Kerre Woodham; over the years on her godawful radio show, she has….
          1.) run a malignant campaign against Chinese dissidents that could have been scripted by the Chinese government;
          2.) run an even more malignant campaign against Kirsten Dunne Powell, the woman who was paralyzed after a frenzied kicking by Woodham’s friend and colleague Tony Veitch;
          3.) spoken out firmly against the people of Gaza for getting themselves and their homes, hospitals, schools and water mains blasted apart by Israeli air raids and their children roasted alive by Israeli White Phosphorus bombs in early 2009;
          4.) delivered a prim lecture via her horrendous Herald on Sunday column to the mother of a boy who had been stabbed to death on a Manurewa street; Kerre Woodham was affronted—not by the murder, but by the mother’s unseemly grieving;
          5.) continued to stupefy and depress those unfortunate enough to stray onto NewstalkZB whenever she is snarling forth her sulphurous rancour.
          All of this behaviour was, of course, after she came “off the sauce”.
          If you like—in fact, even if you don’t like—I’ll post links to all of the above, but for now I’ll let you fulminate a little more and see if you can come up with something a bit more effective than fungally-themed abuse.

            Reading this, ah, discussion, makes me think of Keats, and sympathise with his character in “La Belle Dame sans Merci”.
            “And this is why I sojourn here, 45
            Alone and palely loitering,
            Though the sedge is wither’d from the lake,
            And no birds sing.”
            Except I’d use a question mark.
            • ghostrider888
              “Stand ye calm and resolute
              Like a forest close and mute
              With folded arms and looks which are
              Weapons of unvanquished war.
              What is Freedom? Ye can tell
              That which slavery is too well
              For it’s very nature has grown
              To an echo of your own.”
              -P.B.S

              “And this is why I sojourn here, 45
              Alone and palely loitering,
              Though the sedge is wither’d from the lake,
              And no birds sing.”
              Well, if the belle dame is 45, still alone and still palely loitering, she needs to get on with it. No wonder she’s accosting wandering knights.
              • mac1
                That was line 45, Morrissey.
                But yours was a good line, too- though I was not happy with the earlier discussion.
                Merci.
                • Morrissey
                  That was line 45, Morrissey.
                  Yeah, I knew that; I was just joshing you. I used to be able to recite that poem off by heart once, along with a whole lot of other Keats poems; it was the main part of my schtick back then.
                  But yours was a good line, too- though I was not happy with the earlier discussion.
                  I’m sorry to hear that, mac. Do you think I could have handled the poor fellow more civilly?
                  Merci.
                  Pas du tout, mon ami.

            That’s a pwned if ever I saw one 😆

              Hope you enjoyed the public execution, my friend. Although I must say, it gave me no pleasure at all. Putting down poor old Populuxe1 was a task I did not enjoy, but neither was it one I was prepared to shirk.
              It was the internet equivalent of shooting a rabid dog: it had to be done, but it’s not an occasion for pleasure.
          • Populuxe18.1.2.1.1.3
            Go on, tell me she’s a Mossad agent as well. No doubt she bleeds Christian babies to make motza balls as well, you horrid little puffball of spite.

              Nope, you’re still not hitting the spot, buddy. That’s desperate. You’ve got nothing left in your quiver of tiny arrows.
            • Professor Longhair
              This “Populuxe1” specimen had several hours to formulate a response to Morrissey, and all he has come up with is that lame and cranky nonsense. It is funny, really, but not for Populuxe1 and those who care for him.
              For them, these must be desperate times.
