Heeeere’s Eoinny…
This image appeared on the front page of the Irish Times website yesterday.
Is there anything Fianna Fáil TDs and MEPs won’t do for a bit of publicity? No is clearly the answer.
Do they ever stop for just a moment and think… “maybe, just maybe this photo opportunity will leave me looking like a twat”? They really don’t seem to.
You’d think they’d be briefed on things like this by their press officer after this…
Good man yourself Willie.
And yet we keep voting them in.
With thanks to the fine Cedar Revolution.
Would the real Mary Coughlan please stand up?
It’s just occurred to me that our Tánaiste is one Mary Coughlan. I saw her just now on the one o’clock news standing to address an empty Dáil chamber.
Where has she been since Biffo took the reins and she got that gig? What has she said or done since this recession lark reared its ugly bastard head? She’s been fairly fucking anonymous, to me at least.
And the worst thing is this… she is also our Minister for Enterprise, which should be a very important gig in itself. Surely in testing times such as these we should be hearing more from someone with that post of responsibility?
Maybe Biffo’s massive head and massiver ego doesn’t allow the limelight to spill in her direction? He is doing it his way after all. Whether that’s the right way or not remains to be seen.
Maybe he doesn’t have faith in her but then why put her in such important positions if she’s going to be so mute and ineffective?
Would the real Mary Coughlan please stand up?
“Ever heard of a country called Italy?”
Interesting piece / discussion over at OutsideIn on the nature of Irish politics. Have your say.
