Passing the Buck

This just keeps getting better. Now we have Barry Maister (Secretary General of the New Zealand Olympic Committee) saying in the NZ Herald that they didn't set the medal targets for the Commonwealth Games either.

Sigh. I've quoted this before: "The figure was calculated by Sparc's high performance chief Marty Toomey, in consultation with Dave Currie, chef de mission of the New Zealand Commonwealth and Olympic games teams". (Herald on Sunday 11 Dec 2005)

Now doesn't the chef de mission come from NZOC? Talk about passing the parcel in an Irish pub.
