Wonder if they can employ someone who can lie as easily as Mac though.

 

[Crowley]

Such a pity. I was waiting for somebody to invent a way to use all the hot air that came out of his pie hole to generate some electricity. Seems it's another power source lost to South Africa.

NOW - who is going to talk garbage in his place? Is there someone clever enough to spin the amount of drivel he did? Maybe Vusi Mona from SANRAL?

Noooo... where will our daily spin and side of lies come from?

He was so bad at his job. Comical Ali did a better job than Mac.

No need for a follow-up 'cos nobody cares about scum.

 

[Fulcrum29]

When is Mac going to spin this announcement?

 

[zippy]

You are going to miss him. Watching someone talk such utter crap with such a serious expression was something to behold. Maybe he will move on to present a late night show in the US.

 

[USZA]

Was going to say that this is a bit late for April Fools.

Well, its April and he is a fool...

 

[Greylor]

Mac isn't retiring.

You are just misinterpreting the statement.

Racists.
