    Where is the anger and venom coming from?

    Why does he suddenly become principled when he sat there comfortably watching Cowen leading and making mistakes for the last few years?

    He was very silent up until now.

    Exactly. He's off on the campaign trail already. He's just quicker off the mark than some.

    After that outburst and the others earlier Cowen will have to fire him in the morning. One more down. I have a feeling this Government will not last the 50 days.

    He is one of my local TD's (for the moment ;) )

    Not in Dublin South West anyway...he'll need to learn how to sprint considering the opinions some of his constituents have about him!

    His brother got the Dad's name and whatever familial intelligence was going?

    Got it in one. Just when I thought it simply couldn't get any worse we have this debacle. I just want them out, and I'm not even fussy how this is achieved, any longer. They are making a mockery of Ireland on the world stage.

    Well neither of the brothers are talking to Cowen now. I figure Brian Lenihan had to back Cowen just to side step Micheal Martin to leave leadership position for himself. With Martin tucked away for the time being, Both brother will hit Cowen now and take him down.

    Even though it was pure electioneering Conor Lenihan sounds like he was speaking the truth for once. He has basically taken the greens side of the argument against his own parties leadership. I don't think he would be doing that if he didn't believe it to be true. Why would someone so blatantly attack their own if there wasn't some truth behind it. Cowen will have to sack him.

    Angry or not, he seems to be loving it to be honest.

    If he is telling truth now, he has ignored it the last 2 years

    Well the games up now, he's got nothing left to gain by staying quiet and everything to loose by gallantly going down with the ship.

    ignoring is right, i still think he believes what hes saying,i.e. hes fairly clear in his point, he agrees with their policies regarding bank guarantee etc, he had nothing but praise for Cowen in that aspect, but just the last few days have been a disaster.

    He actually scared me tonight - came across as a psycho

    From livid to laughing in 60 secs - is that the capability of normal people??? This is a serious question if anyone can answer
