Sadly, there is no opposition in this country other than enda "no policies" kenny

Of course, Kenny could never come close to Cowen's economic prowess - master of his brief and financial genius.

Again more of the same one liners, no substance.. other than "look at this mess" arguement.

How are we supposed to know who to vote for if we dont know the reasons behind it.. And bankers buddies builders nonsence is not the cause, and an idle vote in the dark for someone else isnt either.

I will vote for the party in the next general election that gives me the best solutions to the current situation.. None of the solutions i hear from any party including the government are very comforting, but i believe the reason nobody has definate answers is that nobody knows fully

Please refrain from lecturing me on lack of substance when you are writing tripe like that.

Back to serious stuff - Cowen should be re-elected, he's a true IRISHMAN who could drink any of the opposition under the table any day !

Not Russians or Poles.

Trust me on that one.

He usually sounds like this most times. Give him some credit - the man can drink pint with the best of them!

It wouldn't have happened in P J Mara's day!!!!

Ok, again,show me how the banks could have got into such a mess if the regulator was properly controlling lending habits in this country..

After listening to the Six One News, Cowan wasn't drunk at all. It was Simon Coveney, Simon Coveney, Simon Coveney, and Simon Coveney. It's all his fault O.K. end of story, now on with the programme for government o'h and Simon Coveney............................................................

Irish people get drunk/hungover but we STILL get up and function and do a good hard day's work.

Yeah, but in fairness, we're not waking up the next morning and getting behind the wheel of a feckin' COUNTRY!

Fair point donkey!

for years the Russians (not so sure about the polaks?) have had leaders who loved a drink, and it didn't do them any harm! Churchill loved his brandy. JFK his whiskey, and Stalin his vodka!

fair play to Cowan if he likes a few pints. there's nothing wrong with that imo, or maybe the PC crowd would prefer someone like George Bush or Maggie in charge?

losthorizon · 14-09-2010 07:43PM

Hes always been a bit gullible in fairness

Just listened to the interview, he's a little groggy. End of story.:rolleyes:

Can't believe the moaning & whinging this has triggered. I was expecting him to sound completely wasted.

What a load of bollox.

PCros · 14-09-2010 07:47PM

What aload of crap, just heard the interview there and he sounds exactly the same.

Some people are idiots.

I think the Simon Coveney chap has too much time on his hands....

You mean a country with no Democracy, with no Press Freedom, where over 50% of the men die from alcohol poisoning instead of the norm of around 4%.

A Historty of Forced Labour, Prison Camps, KGB, Man Made famine etc etc

-Corkie- · 14-09-2010 07:59PM

Yeah so what!!.. If I was in Galway I would go on the pisx as well... The country is fcuked anyway. I dont think 10 pints of Guinness is going to make or break us...:rolleyes:

AskMyChocolate · 14-09-2010 08:00PM

You can lead a hoarse to water but you can't stop him drinking.

Dear Brian Cowen,

Thank you for giving Nob Nation at least six months worth of material to work with.

I have never called in sick cos of hangover.

However in my almost 7 years in my current job I truely have lost count of the number of times I have went in drunk from the night before!

LarrytheLantern · 14-09-2010 08:15PM

this whole thing is probably part of the PC conspiracy to have alcohol banned completely.

time people in this country got real, and started to focus on the real issues facing us.

I concur. The number of ducks in St. Stephens Green is diminishing rapidly... fecking pigeons taking over everything! This needs to be sorted soon!

I think this is totally flawed reasoning. The man is supposed to be a statesman, not some average joe who works in a shop. I guarantee you'll never see anyone from any other country that maintains and demands some sort of respect from their leaders doing an interview in any sort of similar state. It simply wouldn't be put up with.

A few pints, a bit hungover so what? Its not like he has the power to nuke the planet or anything or is going to be making any earth shattering decisions right at this moment. He is entitled to blow off a little steam and get plastered if he wants to.

And can I point out I detest the sight of him, Bertie and all FF'ers.

If Barrack Obama or any other Prime Minister went on air in that condition, there would be uproar over it too, so dont assume this is something to be tolerated. Its just this kind of tolerance and double standards on the matter that is the cause of Ireland's excessive alcohol problem and when a prime minister of a country, big or small, gets pissed, has 4 hours sleep and then goes on his mantra to the nation is an absolute disgrace and embarrassment for the country.

I give you one of the apparently most respected premiers in the world:

Add to that Berlusconi and numerous Eastern European premiers. I agree he's not some average joe but the publicity does not fit the "crime".

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