    Anyone who was watching the press conference with Cowen, in which he said he was staying on, would have seen that he'll be doing a vote of confidence soon. So I thought I would do a boards.ie vote of confidence so. Do you have confidence in Brian Cowen?

    He's living in his own little bubble. He's a complete tyrant.

    He has got the kind of brass neck that would make Robert Mugabe jealous.

    I'm confident he'll go down as the worst Taoiseach in the history of the state if that's what you mean.

    Confident that he can lead FF - Yes
    Confident that he can lead the country - No
    Confident that FF can lead the country - gtfo

    tbh, him stepping down now would serve no purpose. If he was going to then he should have done a long time ago, and his colleagues should have stood up against him before now. They're all as bad as each other

    I have confidence in his ability to down 30 happy meals in 30 seconds. I don't have confidence in his ability to get a haircut, or a suit that fits him. With all his time in charge, you'd think he'd at least try to look like the leader of the country and scrub up properly, not like someone off a Bord na Mona bog cutting crew.

    BTW, Kudos to whoever writes his speeches ... add some extra vowels please. Listening to him try to say 'apart' and hearing 'apeeeeeeeeeeeert' in a gruff slurry word voice is hilarious. More of the same!

    I'm a straight man but jaysus yeah....when he rumbles on in that nasal whine I can feel a stirring in my loins

    That manly way he unbuttons and buttons his jacket before smoothing it off and telling the opposition to f#ck right off, sure what ideas do they have anyway and they would have done worse if they got the chance

    I thought Steve Staunton was great as an irish manager too...I'm da gaaafer!

    oooh, say it again steve yeah!

    If/when Cowen goes, who will take his place?

    Because he didn't make people take out full morgages on houses they realistically could not afford.
    Because he didn't make us live beyond our means.

    Oh everybody loved FF when they were raising the social welfare, when they weren't rising the price of a pint, when they were handing out medical cards to everybody in sundry.

    Do you remember though, the outrage from FG? They claimed the social welfare wasn't raised enough. There wasn't enough given to XYZ.
    They didn't say "Hold on now, we really should be tightening our belts".

    Its easy to point the finger after the crap has hit the fan, isn't it?

    And I personally have no faith in opposition whose sole mission is to shout down and ridicule the leader of the country.

    You know what -- I can't wait til FG or Labour get into government. Just to watch them **** up, and fail. Because this is global. There ain't a thing they will be realistically able to do better.
