Sometime between the 6th and the 8th of October 2009 at McCormick & Schmick's restaurant in Washington DC, Alasdair Thompson made "lewd comments" about Helen Kelly's relationship with John Key presumably implying their relationship consisted of something more than just a working relationship.Apparently these comments were directed at Helen Kelly herself but overheard by Maryann Street and the person who told the Herald, I assume, an unnamed "influential business leader, who witnessed the confrontation at a high-powered dinner in Washington DC,"
and who
said last night that she would make a formal complaint to the board of the EMA."
Oh dear, you piss the sisterhood off at your peril.
