Brian Cowen: I'm sorry, I'm extremely sorry... Nobody is more sorry than me ....

    Seán O'Rourke's interview with Brian Cowen on today's News at One on RTÉ Radio 1 was something else. He was giving out to Cowen for allegedly refusing to apologise: "There's no word of heartfelt apology from you". Cowen got down on the radio equivalent of his knees so much (for almost 3 minutes) that by the end of it O'Rourke had the nerve of saying "let's not waste time on apologies!" :rolleyes:

    Go to 12.20 here for the start.


    All these 'sorries' reminded me of this scene (3.23) from Stanley Kubrick's Dr Strangelove (1964).

    President: I'm sorry too, Dimitri. I'm very sorry. Alright you're sorrier than I am but I'm very sorry as well....

    Yes..you do have to imagine what would it be like if all that hate was directed at "you"....!! Imagine it for a second....it must be almost suicide inducing...from opening the papers in the morning to going out in public...must be hell! I know one has to take the rough with the smooth, but no person would be able to handle that ****...

    Brian Cowen's interview on Newstalk this morning drew some very interesting comparisons to another Irish figure... see if you can guess who before revealing the spoiler;

    - Unpopular person in charge of Ireland

    - People who used to support him, no longer want him in the job

    - He is convinced that he is still the right person for the job

    - Ireland is suffering because of him

    - He is unwilling to accept suggestions or criticisms

    Can you tell who it is yet?

    Answer ;
    Steve "I am the gaffer" Staunton :D

    If it actually bothered them they'd tell their bank buddies to go and fook themselves.

    They haven't, they don't care.

    Because he's playing the cancer card?

  • Closed Accounts Posts: 732 ✭✭✭scarymoon1

  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,601 ✭✭✭DetectivFoxtrot

    I don't think he's doing that at all. Yes he's pale and tired looking but chemo will do that to anyone

    Take a bow irish electorate.

    This is the man YOU helped top the poll in the last election and helped his party to government for three consecutive terms.

    This is the man YOU ELECTED and who has been a minister for over a decade and has achieved nothing of note in any ministry or his career in politics for that matter.

    This is the man YOU ELECTED to turn up drunk for a radio interview while holding the nations most powerful political office during a time of unprecedented economic turmoil.

    This is the man YOU ELECTED and put in a position to become the leader of the political party that has buttf*cked our nation so hard that we face at least a generation of oblivion in every aspect of our daily lives.

    The irish electorate played their part in this mess by voting for these retards and are forcing everyone else to pay for YOUR and their stupidity.

    This problem has been brewing for years, why don't you educate yourself on the issues.

    I think the fact that it looks like he uses shoe polish in his hair contributes more to the paleness than chemo.
