    I think that program summed up the Pds very well. They all seemed far more interested in their vain little power trips then apologising for the incredible damage their economic policies did to Ireland.

    Among her long list of 'accomplishments,' we can thank Mary Harney for foisting Tom Parlon on us. Both Harney and McDowell seemed to suffer from an enormous sense of knowing what is good for the people whether they want it or not. McDowell at least, was straight about it, you knew what he stood for. Harney is a two faced underhanded spin merchant.

    Some people will blame Harney for anything! How about thanking the people from Laois for "foisting" Tom Parlon on you. They did elect him.

    Can you get this on RTE player? I just want to watch the bit when McDowell loses his seat, sweet schadenfreude.

    The most chilling and disturbing moment of this excellent two-parter was Michael "Herr Flick" Mcdowell's comment right at the end that one should NEVER rule out future public service.

    Given the ****e we are in at present the very last thing we need right now is his return to public life.......:eek:

    Whoever did the transition shots of Dublin 2 etc did a remarkable job. Made the city look fantastic. Just beautiful! Not the usual cr*p we've come to expect.

    Charlie Mc Creevy's comment about a shot of whiskey and a gun to the head was...em...weirdly funny.

    I liked McDowell. The man was totally misunderstood. Id rather a intellectual on our cabinet any day of the week as opposed to the fumbling idiots and family dynasties that we normally get.
