This should really be a head to head, Browne v Hook. The other panellists are not needed.

+1000

He's got Hook on, to defend Enda and FG... since enda wont come on himself.. would be great TV if it was a head to head..

O'Hanlon is a former Minister of Health. There's some controversy involving his time in health, that I forget.

"With Enda, you get the impression that someone has written all his words for him"

That's because someone has.:rolleyes:

Most likely the prune.

telekon · 18-02-2011 11:34PM

As usual, I'm about 20 mins behind the rest of ye, but it has to be said this is great stuff...loving the relaxed attitude. Very entertaining stuff.

The show was getting a bit stuffy the last couple of nights but thats probably just politics overload on my behalf...

I wish some journalists did an FOI to see how much has been spent on Enda's spin doctors and PR people.

Spot on Hookie! (re the low tax policy)

Yeah but Sardy, I always argued that there is a set bunch of questions that you know will be put to any politician.. and he should be GRILLED on it every day by an advisor, so that he has the answers to a tee.. Sinn Fein made an art form of it ..... If you see the movie W, about Bush, Karl Rove used to drill him on all issues every day so that he had his answers down...

Enda dropped the ball with the "would you go in to government with sinn fein" question the last time he was on the LLS.. by being ambiguous.. He SHOULD have had the answer learned off, but didnt and he lost votes because of it...

It's not the prepared nature of the answers that troubles me. It is the fact that they are not his own answers and are only soundbites dreamt up by a pr guru based.

We deserve better than this guff.

And I know it is not confined to Inda, BTW.

Is it tax payers money?

If not, why should we care how FG spend their money?

Because it is a sign of things to come

George Hook's autobiography is a great read, he's brutally honest about his own faults and life experiences in it.

Well worth a read, he's not my favourite radio presenter but he is very candid about lucky he is to be on the air.

Lady Chatterton · 18-02-2011 11:45PM

Che Guevara's grandmother was from West Clare.

ArtSmart · 18-02-2011 11:45PM

She was Mrs Lynch.

Sardonicat · 18-02-2011 11:46PM

thought it was his grandfather? or perhaps it was his grandmother, on his father's side.

Tubridy would have a field day!

He came to Ireland in 1966 on a 3 day visit. Bit of a culture shock from fighting in the South American tropics i'd say...
