Scandal – their mothers were friends

Wow, are things getting silly.

Andrea Vance at Stuff reports:

Prime Minister John Key has outlined the nature of his friendship with chief foreign spy Ian Fletcher under questioning about the illegal surveillance on Kim Dotcom.

Their acquaintance dates back to their childhood, when their mothers were “best friends”, Key said. He also went to school with Fletcher’s brother.

Their mothers were friends. Shock horror.

I hope no one is suggesting that Ian Fletcher should not have got his job, because his mum was friends with the PM’s mum before she died.

Oh wait, they are.
