    That was 21 years ago!

    I actually think VB treats all parties and leaders fairly (mostly with disdain).

    I have not detected the bitterness in him. I think we would be lost without him. He calls it right almost every time. Smart guy.


    You must be joking.

    No wonder most politicians wont appear on his show.

    He just shouts at them when they try answer.

    Especially fg. Like a child. Oh yes he is still bitter 21 years later.

    Enda Kenny has presided over a government that has proved (if proof was needed) that governance in this country is and has been a relay. Enda took the baton that was handed on to him by Fine Gael's political teammate, Fianna Fail. And he ran the exact same type of race. The high moral ground nonsense that the country wouldn't have crashed under them is still being trotted out and 'the mess we were in' excuse is still being trotted out to cover their failures and the fact that we probably live in the most divided society ever since partition and the founding of the state.
    The great shame is that they will probably get another term before they implode.

    "In 1994, Vincent Browne sought a nomination for the Fine Gael party in that year's European elections or the possible general election of that year (it was thought a general election might follow the collapse of the Albert Reynolds' government). He was rebuffed by the leader of Fine Gael and future Taoiseach, John Bruton. He then became a vocal critic of the part"

    Vincent is still bitter after not getting the votes to run for fianna Gael.

    Bitter bitter man.

    He's going to be under big pressure with all the pro lifers in FG with a vote on the right amendment

    What RTE and a few in the print media are calling a political stroke of genius (just a tired old political kicking of a can in actuality) may come back to haunt him yet.

    Maybe you could provide a few links to that obvious proof because I don't see it.

    Mod note:

    You might find the Politics Cafe more suitable for organising Enda retirement themed street parties.
