Brian Cowen: I'm sorry, I'm extremely sorry... Nobody is more sorry than me ....

Dionysus

Seán O'Rourke's interview with Brian Cowen on today's News at One on RTÉ Radio 1 was something else. He was giving out to Cowen for allegedly refusing to apologise: "There's no word of heartfelt apology from you". Cowen got down on the radio equivalent of his knees so much (for almost 3 minutes) that by the end of it O'Rourke had the nerve of saying "let's not waste time on apologies!" :rolleyes:

Go to 12.20 here for the start.


All these 'sorries' reminded me of this scene (3.23) from Stanley Kubrick's Dr Strangelove (1964).

President: I'm sorry too, Dimitri. I'm very sorry. Alright you're sorrier than I am but I'm very sorry as well....

Brian Cowen's interview on Newstalk this morning drew some very interesting comparisons to another Irish figure... see if you can guess who before revealing the spoiler;

- Unpopular person in charge of Ireland

- People who used to support him, no longer want him in the job

- He is convinced that he is still the right person for the job

- Ireland is suffering because of him

- He is unwilling to accept suggestions or criticisms

Can you tell who it is yet?

Steve "I am the gaffer" Staunton

If it actually bothered them they'd tell their bank buddies to go and fook themselves.

They haven't, they don't care.

Take a bow irish electorate.

This is the man YOU helped top the poll in the last election and helped his party to government for three consecutive terms.

This is the man YOU ELECTED and who has been a minister for over a decade and has achieved nothing of note in any ministry or his career in politics for that matter.

This is the man YOU ELECTED to turn up drunk for a radio interview while holding the nations most powerful political office during a time of unprecedented economic turmoil.

This is the man YOU ELECTED and put in a position to become the leader of the political party that has buttf*cked our nation so hard that we face at least a generation of oblivion in every aspect of our daily lives.

The irish electorate played their part in this mess by voting for these retards and are forcing everyone else to pay for YOUR and their stupidity.

I think the fact that it looks like he uses shoe polish in his hair contributes more to the paleness than chemo.

Don't you mean people of Offaly, I don't recall ever having the option to vote for Brian Cowen and I don't think 25 counties have either.

Oh this is only happening in Ireland is it?

You guys seriously can't be saying that Lennihan is playing the cancer card. That is just an absolutely horrible thing to say. Since then has his cancer ever been mentioned by him in relation to his job performance? If not, then he isn't.

He is a person stuck in an absolutely horrible position that has no choice but to do the job that is given to him who happens to have cancer.

Jesus. The mentality of people as of late has made me severely embarrassed to even consider myself Irish

Well maybe it's time you removed your head from your rectum.

Nobody should feel sorry for Brian Lennihan. At best, he is absolutely incompetant at his job. At worst, he's a pathalogical liar. Has everybody forgotten a few weeks ago when himself and that other dipshit liar Cowen came out and lied to the entire nation that they weren't in talks with the IMF? Right when they were in talks with the IMF. Jesus christ, if attitudes like upandcumming's are widespread, this country is absolutely fucked way more than we are right now.

Obviously not..HOWEVER when respected economists tell us that our situation was made much worse by having a truly woeful government calling the shots then i am inclined to agree...

I feel more sorry for someone (you) who couldn't be arsed to remember the name Pearse Doherty TD, who you accuse of "mouthing off" but you can remember a sh*tbags name & say he looked "sad"..

I'd rather see the fvckers looking sad hanging from a cherry picker tbh.

I hope SF put Pearse Doherty's speech up on youtube - I find the man inspiring.

People can take the piss out of any of FF's TDs at the moment.

But the suggestion that Lenihan is playing the cancer card to gain sympathy is just rubbish.

I don't believe Lenihan was next nor near the dail chambers when Pearse Doherty got up to speak, so I don't know what scarymoon1 was seeing.
