Enda Kenny - the Taoiseach that we need or spineless gimp?

Its probably both, but I just can't understand how this guy got elected to the Dail, not to mention to the top post in one of main political parties.
Although I think what Vincent Browne said about him was out of order, Kenny should have turned up for the debate, made a point of rebuking Browne for his remarks and gotten stuck into Martin and Gilmore.
But no. His party throw a blanket over his head and he runs for cover...again.
This, is whats going to represent us in the international arena over the next few years.
Heaven help us

Gimp, in answer to you.

Ali Babba · 07-02-2011 10:19AM

He should have gone when he got the chance, i'd probably vote FG if he wasn't leading the party.

arybvtcw0eolkf · 07-02-2011 10:25AM

Well I'll be the first to admit that politics mostly flies right over my head, so I avoid political discussion.

However my impressions of Kenny, and these are not just formed recently, is of a spineless gimp, devoid of any human emotion or charactor.

FG probably thought 'we have this in the bag, lets counter punch and don't do anything stupid & we're there' - but this whole VB thing has blown up in Enda's face and makes him look like a coward running from the big boys, and I think people are concerned now that he'll be eaten alive on both the national and international stage now.

He's coming across very weak.

Spineless Gimp.

Badgermonkey · 07-02-2011 10:29AM

I'm hoping 8-10 months after he takes office, his own party will oust him.

I think I can manage to put up with the dweeb for about that long.

Thanks Biko.

RichieC · 07-02-2011 11:40AM

He's fine gael, hope he doesn't get the votes

See this is the kind of stupid sh*t that gets threads locked, and I'm not back seat mod'ing either - it works across the board.

Enda Kenny is a freak i dont want him as Taoiseach so the wealthy blueshirt elite wont be getting my vote:mad:

black & white · 07-02-2011 11:48AM

I don't have any great time for Inda but it's a change to see a politician not allowing TV or papers to call the shots. The other meeja are all jumping up and down because if this catches on, some of them will not get the access they think they are entitled to. Just finished reading Peter Mandlesons autobiography and it's frightening to read the influence media (particularly Murdoch's crowd) had over the Blair and Brown governments.

Fine Gael leader Enda Kenny has confirmed that proposals will be included in the party's election manifesto to provide for the abolition of Irish as a compulsory subject in the Leaving Certificate examination.

Conservative shower of cnuts:mad:

Enda had his chance with the head to head with Bertie when he bottled it at the last election. If FG chose another leader I would give my votes to them but if they choose a leader like this what chance is there for the future of the country. I wrote a letter to Enda six weeks ago before the election was on the horizon regarding remembering the Irishmen who died in ww1 and the disinterest the last government and our own President have in it. He did not answer me, so I emailed him saying can I have an answer please, still not reply. If he or his party does not communicate before an election what chance is there that they will do so when they get elected?
Evil flourishes where good men do nothing. As Mary Black? sang 'Is no word from you at all the best that you can do?'.

Dunjohn · 07-02-2011 11:55AM

He's a diva. He knows he's probably going to be Taoiseach anyway so he doesn't seem to give a ****. I don't think he'll be a good Taoiseach - I hate to judge him before he even gets the job but all I have to go on is what he gives us and here we are.

It's not like anything will have changed in a monts time. We're just swapping Eurasia for Eastasia. Let's see how he handles himself when the full weight of the vitriol Cowen's been getting is turned on him. Hopefully he'll have manned up a bit.

Really? Gets my vote then.

Richard Bruton would be a far better Taoiseach.

There's an AH thread just started on it.

Enda's not only coming across as a spineless gimp, but now on his third excuse as to why he won't participate, he's coming across as a lying spineless gimp.

thomasm · 07-02-2011 12:06PM

Spineless gimp

I'm not in favour of abolishing it completely, but I'm in favour of restructuring it. Learning Irish poetry for the Leaving was ridiculous. Why should it affect my future the way it currently is? Same could be said about English.

He's not spineless.. it takes balls to make a ****** joke in public.. he's just a cnut

Wurly · 07-02-2011 12:49PM

Any smidgen of respect that I had for Enda Kenny has been eroded by him refusing to go on Vincent Browne. What a cowardly drip of a man. No thanks.

Our last Taoiseach was an arrogant arsehole. Is there no happy medium?

Personally, I really like Eamon Gilmore and would love to see him get the job!

Enda Kenny - the Taoiseach that we need or spineless gimp?
