    That John Whelan is a no mark senator who was grandstanding too much, today.

    John Whelan is a former editor of the Leinster Express and has over thirty years journalistic experience, that more than qualifies him to be there in my opinion.

    Could not win a seat for Labour in Laois-Offaly, even with their excellent performance. A no mark in political terms,at least.
    You don't think what you posted about him there means he could have his own agenda?

    Plus, the Kate FitzGerald comment wasn't needed.

    Personally, I feel his journalistic experience gives him a better understanding of the situation than some of the others on the committee.

    Rabbitte is taking less crap than usual tonight. He's in rare form indeed.

    I wouldn't like to accidently bump into him in the corridor after this.

    Does Rabbitte think he is the host, now?

    Babbling nonsense! There's some backtracking going on here.

    It's the first time I've watched VB in a while - I picked a good night!

    Rabbitte is very aggressive, I wonder has she hit a nerve.

    She works for an 'evil' private media organisation in Rabbitte's eyes. Of course she did.

    To be fair, Laois/Offaly is a strange and rather backward constituency. Despite everything, they returned two Fianna Fail TDs.

    I usually think of him as being pompous, but not particularly nasty. There seems to be a nasty mood off him tonight.

    Just a bit of VB randomness, and in a funny way it showed how out of touch these guys are. The bloody song must be one of the most played on TV/Radio in the last month.

    I didn't think it was cringeworthy at all! If Jedward won I'm sure as Minister for Communications Mr. Rabbitte would be one of the first clamouring to congratulate them. Says a lot that he couldn't even name the song.

    It wasn't as bad as the dopey Sindo journo. The exchange between her and Rabbitte was cringe-worthy, she allowed him to have the upper hand by making a stupid insinuation and by doing that she wasn't able to land a blow on him about no-one from the RTE authority resigning. He could just bluff his way out of it by getting into high dudgeon about her smartass remarks.

    Do you remember the night he attacked Pat "Skelator" Carey. He was spitting fire that night too.

    Only got around to watching last night's show now & that lady made a terrible fool of herself .... as VB pointed out she wanted to make an implication but hadn't the guts to back it up, very unprofessional & cowardly but hardly surprising from the Indo. IMO Pat Rabbitt won that round hands down

    The accusation was made in the senate, basically a FF senator claimed that RTE paid off the garda Rabbitte defamed, and hey presto Rabitte is happy with RTE.

    Called it a "whitewash" I'll see if I can find the text
