When John Key is on TV I just cringe.

It was worse when he was asked about his daughter Stephie but he pronounces it Stiffy and it sounded like he was talking about having an erection.

Key sounds like he's just come out of a coma and also is just really bored with everything. When I think of him all I can think about is the colour grey.
