hung over Brian Cowen on rte morning Ireland, how many pints do you think he had??

FF handlers really let their boss down in allowing him on Morning Ireland. If listeners to both Pat Kenny and Ray D'Arcy are getting their knickers in a twist over this, then Cowen's in serious trouble. I know his political style is to just brazen things out, but this has to seriously detract from his reputation. It'll be something to be dragged up again and again and again.
Plus, by appearing pisht on Morning Ireland, he's given all the newspapers and evening TV news shows an entire working day to get together the most damning commentary pieces. If this had happened on Vincent Browne, it would be 2 days before they could pounce.
Very poor judgment, Brian... or FF handlers, or whoever thought he was in a fit state to go on nation's most listened to radio show...

The interviewer didnt sound the best either..
Maybe it was just the sound?

Or he joined them on their drink in last night, but left before the sing a long?

Anyone got any links handy for any of the interviews..too lazy to go lookin

Just Listened to it..

I think it might be one of his better interviews, He didn't use the usual political Bull****€, He was clearly a man hungover with the attitude of, Ask Me The Question Straight out,And I'll tell you the answer!!

There was a few moments in the interview, I though he was gonna ate the head of yer man doing the interview, when he asked him about the Bi-elections..

So What if he is hungover, We all know about his drinking, and to my knowledge this is the first time he has been interviewed in this state..

Give the guy some credit! There was a report out yesterday saying that sales in pubs were down. Clearly Biffo is taking a hands on approach to solving this impending crisis!

Was thinking that myself when I heard of poor Biffo's situation LOL
He's getting to grips with the problem! :pac:

He's a visionary and leading by example

Even the fact he is denying it is annoying me. He is in a hotel in Galway. Of course he is going to have a few pints. It looks like he overdone it. I'd love if some of the bar staff came forward to tell us how many he had.

Having said all that... Brian, instead of saying the accusations are uncalled for. Just say, "I had a few pints last night with colleagues, but I certainly wasn't drunk this morning".

Stop talking down to us like bloody kids!

Maybe he moved on from pints and started in on some Jagerbombs and/or tequila!

people don't not like cowen cos of his drinking (i typed 'maybe even not his policies' but deleted it cos i dont like being banned and thats the road we'd be heading down and i dont have the energy for an argument )

people dont like cowen cos he's a big ugly ineloquent savage from the bog. admit it people, the majority of you are predjudiced!? nobody likes the cut of him or the sound of him and thats 50% of the battle for popularity lost!

I heard Cowen nailed Mary Harney on the pool table with willie O'dea rolling a camcorder.

Can someone ban this guy?!
