KEY TAKES ONE FOR THE TEAM

Well we had our doubts. John Key's US visit looked a little light on the promotion and heavy on the diplomacy "we want world peace" stuff.

So he fronts David Letterman - it was cringe making in the extreme. But intensely watchable for its cringeworthiness.

And it was probably worth millions in free advert time.

Key took one for the team. shit it musta hurt, and NZ was the winner on the day.

That's our man.
