    I'm surprised the Brians are taking questions, actually.

    You are the type of what the age is searching for, and what it is afraid it has found. I am so glad that you have never done anything, never carved a statue, or painted a picture, or produced anything outside of yourself! Life has been your art. You have set yourself to music. Your days are your sonnets.

    Cowen needs to resign and that's as clear as day after this. Disgraceful lying scum who propped up their buddies in the banks.

    Cowen just read out a prepared statement. I know that these are usually pre-written but with Cowen it was just so obvious. Anyone could have done it and many people could have done it a lot better than him as he spoke way too fast. I was finding it too fast..i can just imagine that our European brothers and sisters found it hard to keep up with him.
