Ah Thomas Byrne is presentable i suppose.
Certainly not a fine thing.
:pac::pac::pac:

Why oh why is Thomas Byrne wheeled out still, he has no mandate, no interesting ideas, and the less said about his credibility the better. When he is on Vincent Browne brandishing his insights on the economy its like Steve Staunton appearing on the premiership dishing out managerial advice:(

I don't see the point of him either, but his mandate comes from the voters of his constituency, I suppose. At least he's elected by the people, more than can be said for the senators or economists like Jim 'Soft Landing' Power

Apologies;; Thomas Byrne is a Senator, not a TD. Which means he was elected by only a handful of people, and so is probably not worth listening to

Harry Angstrom

Fair play to Colm Keaveney. He's the only one to follow his principles and act on them, unlike the rest of those fcukin cowards in the Labour parliamentary party.

Browne may be a good journalist, but he's an awful broadcaster

Good loser

Can't stand Keaveney. Unconvincing. Strikes me as seriously ambitous - playing a long game.

Hope he gets hefted out of the chairmanship as soon as possible.

It must be a very long game he's playing so, because it's unlikely Labour will have enough seats after the next general election to influence anything.

That jacket is awful

What does that odious clown O' Dea have to offer.

He's there for the comedy value.

As mentioned on P.ie, i wonder if this was simply a cynical engineered distraction from the flak labour have been taking of late.

He has to be.

Does he dip the bottom half of his moustache in grey paint (along with the rest of his head)? :mad:

Harry Angstrom

Vinnie loves playing this clip. I reckon Gilmore is fuming every time he sees it.

Our man in Havana

Which clip is that?

Good loser

V B seems incapable of understanding that a coalition is a compromise, so, regardless of what Labour promised, the promise did not survive the coalition deal.

Amazing that he didn't ask any of the panelists (or Keaveney), whether they would have chosen the 3% across the board cut in all benefits, which was the offer put to Labour in cabinet

Oddly enough, I always enjoy watching him. Doesn't take things too serious. Having said that, I have no time for any os those shysters in Govt., and FF were even worse.
Since vote for the Shinners is out of the questions, there aren't many options left for the next election.

To be honest i had a good time for him in opposition. i actually believed he would stand up for his beliefs when he became part of Government. But he has gone back on almost every promise he made pre-election. As a result any Blueshirt or Labour candidate will never get a vote from me or any of my family again. Last week was the final straw.
Just maybe, its time to give the Shinners a chance.!
After all, who exactly is telling us a vote for SF would be a disaster?
The likes of Leo Varadker is telling us.!! i rest my case.

Sending "ominous" texts in Latin was very childish... If he had something to say he should have just called a press conference ... or kept his fkn mouth shut...

Maybe if SF would get rid of Grizzly Adams and give us someone like Mary-Lou or Pearse Doherty, then I might reconsider.

If Susan O'Keefe is the best spokesperson Labour could send out to bat for them tonight it says one of two things.

1, They know they haven't got a leg to stand on

or

2, Nobody else had the guts to appear.


She is making a very poor attempt to articulate Labour's lies and u turns here.

take everything

Vinny's on fire tonight.
Taking no crap from either pro-choice or "pro-life" sides.

Who's the black haired cow in the middle of the herd eh?

I heard Caroline Simons on with Mary Wilson earlier today and I nearly took the radio out of the car and fkd it out the window... She's such a rude, childish, petty, sarcastic, smart-arse... She would certainly not win any followers with her lack of social skills..

The pro Life woman is well fit for any of them. She has her arguments well prepared.
I wouldn't like to go home to her and tell her I lost the wages on a horse though.

Caroline Simons, she is a legal consultant to the pro life campaign. She comes across as a right arrogant know it all, who gave her the right to say what's right and what's wrong, and what women should do.

Maybe, but she still looks like Mary Harney's lovechild....

That or she just goes to the same hairdresser as Harney

This one on the left seems shtuck with Vinny's logic.
