Sycophant of the Month: October 2009

Total number of ProvGov press releases issued in October: 175 (+3 from September).

Total number with the phrase "Williams Government": 9 (+2 from September).

Sycophancy index: 5.1% (+1.0% from September).

Susan Sullivan opened the game on October 5th, and never really looked back.

Sure, Jerome! and Danny Williams-Government scored a couple of flukes later the same day, followed by Tom Hedderson the next morning. But the first two wouldn’t be heard from again all month.

Sullivan then knocked in a pair on the 16th, including a rare joint DWG. Hedderson was back on the board on the 28th, but Sullivan answered quite nicely with one on the 29th and – good heavens – another joint on the 30th.

And that was all she wrote. Jerome! and DWG, one each; Hedderson two; Sullivan five. Not even close.

Taking the reins from Trevor Taylor, the new monthly winner, for the first time, Susan Sullivan. Congratulations!
