Cowen is well out of it.

I saw some of the television programme on the demise of the last Government,presided over by Brian Cowen.There is no doubt about it but the two Marys,the walking moustache and the former Minister for Report shelving ,have long lost any concept of the notion of loyalty and their rush to fillet their former leader is disgusting.Only Conor Lenihan's bizarre butchering of Cowan on a television programme prior to the last election compares for bitchiness.
These people were in a position to influence matters as senior members of the Government at the time,but did s.f.a and to now wring their hands at the events that unfolded is a bit rich.Nobody is fooled .
They are just as responsible as anyone else for selling the Country into financial servitude and should hang their heads in shame.
I would say that no Manager of even a Juvenile team would have them as selectors,as the Manager would know that if the team was beaten they would rubbish him to deflect blame.
Rodents and sinking ships come to mind.
I guess that Brian Cowen regularly thanks God that he has such friends.
