Whale Oil applies for a job

Clearly smarting from his separation from Cactus Kate, Whale Oil responds to Garth George’s latest dribblings in the Herald:

I wonder sometimes about the standard of the commentariat that inhabit the local news media. Time and again their short-comings are shown up. Surely it is time for a new breed of commentator to come to the fore instead of the blatherings of senile old folk.

And which fine upstanding example of the new breed of commentator would Whale Oil suggest? He is far too modest to propose himself, but I think we can take a hint.
