Wrong smiley icon : I meant or

Mind you, I would still have reckoned that the "@some.tv-station.com" makey-uppy address would have been a hint!

Sound. Thought it was a bit bizarre. :rolleyes:

I have the original email. Money first. Then you can print the story. Then you can investigate, if you have time.

Well I'm sure that did wonders for investor confidence in Ireland.

Not to worry, We're planning to send Mary Coughlan to repair our image in the U.S.. To quote John McEnroe " You cannot be serious". Can you imagine what the Presidents of Harvard, Stanford e.t.c. will think when that thing opens her mouth.

deanh

sorry but to correct my earlier post, Coughlan is not meeting university heads, rather some 'high school' guidance counsellors. No doubt that will really boost our economy. How much will this junket end up costing the taxpayer?

Conas

Ah sure it's only a bit of friendly banter on Leno. Fair play to Brain Cowen he should be drunk in office all the time. There is nothing wrong with being drunk anyway!!

AlekSmart

Oh come now Deanh,don`t be churlish Ms Coughlan is noted for her parsimoneous attitude...it`ll be 7-11`s and Mc Donalds all the way whilst there...and her Car and Driver are already on their way via the Southampton Steam Packet...;)

I'm no admirer of Brian Cowan or FF but Mr. Leno should look in the mirror and drop the drunk bit and then he'd have himself.

No doubt people will be saying how disrespectful it is of Leno for slagging the leader of our country, forgetting that almost all comedians and lots of commentators in this country have slagged their last leader George W Bush. If we give the slagging we have to take it.

Perhaps we should ban nob nation from our airwaves?

For Gods sake our leader goes on the piss till well after 3 in the morning on a tues night then does a half pissed interview before 9am and he shouldnt be slagged as the country goes down the toilet?

Like the bit on Jay Leno will have any impact on bond rates, wake up and smell the reality.

Exactly Wall you said it perfectly. People were slagging Cowen in this country after the incident, and now everyone thinks what Leno said is a disgrace. It's madness!!

sonofabeach

No problem with people slagging Brian Cowan( I do it myself), I just think Leno is an idiot

Leno is an icon in a America. I much prefer Letterman though.

Cowan for Pope, Coughlan for the Tonight show.....I see a transatlantic reshuffle of major proportions in the offing.

Not exactly a major jump, since Cowen seems to excuse, protect and reward those who screwed others.

And don't forget the good old 'mental reservation'

If they have him as an icon , i am worried about their mentality over there.Who makes a show host an icon.
I dont agree with his lame joke about Cowen,but he does it to everyone and who cares.

Wow! April 1st must be hell for you every year!!

I actually saw the skit a few days ago, I turned red with embarrassment for Ireland. Now, that's not easy since I imagine I've seen a thing or two over the years. Seems not. No offense to Brian Cowen, but he should know by now that it doesn't take much to make him look like a sketch.

Is it really any wonder that the bond markets have no confidence in us? A Jay Leno joke of a leadership who does interviews hungover, and a disastrous 'bank bailout' (a.k.a. no bondholder left inconvenienced) policy that has the potential to ruin the country.

I am of course conscious of the possibility that some FF hack will say it's all Simon Coveneys' fault and the markets are worried that the government will fall and be replaced by Fine Gael.

His show gets watched by millions of people he's being doing it for a long time. He is known around the world, of course he's an American Icon.

Let him make fun of Brain Cowen who only has himself to blame anyway. Laugh it all off, it's only a bit of friendly banter.

It's called 'democracy' (yes, I know he wasn't directly elected).

If we want to elect someone who is easily portrayed as a drunken-idiot internationally then that's our prerogative.

A nation always gets the government it deserves.

I think it just enforces the stereotype, that most Irish are drunks, quite honestly.
