Prime Minister John Key pulled waitress' ponytail http://t.co/R5CrrZNZPZ just based on hairsay? Or is there a strand of truth to it?

People need to realise that John Key was pulling that ponytail as John Key 'lovable scamp' NOT as a Prime Minister who should know better.

John Key should stick to pulling his own pony-tail.
