Paul Holmes Holmes will step aside for Mike Hosking on December 19, in a carefully planned move announced by ZB in March last year. It might have seemed like a good idea 22 months ago but Holmes is hitting his best ratings. It's going to take a long time before there is a more dominant broadcaster in New Zealand than Paul Holmes. And he goes out on top of his radio career after an equally dominant...

Following the link from the very first article at the top of the BT aggregator this morning, we read this : John McCain: A Class Act November 5th, 2008 by Paul Holmes This is John McCain’s concession speech.
