    Biffo on Youtube

    The new Fianna Fail website has Clowen giving a couple of answers to peoples questions. I'm not going to link to it - just go to the FF website.

    However the most distracting thing about watching him, is the constant rubbing of hands and licking of lips. It is almost as if someone is standing behind the camera with a big bacon and cabbage dinner.

    That said, I think it is nicely integrated into the site and it quite a good medium for people to take the time to listen, even if it is a load of hot air...

    It is Cowen at his worst; management speak, generalities.
    He appears to be an institutionalised Finance spokesperson who has forgotton he has political powers and is allowed to have an orginal thought which can be expressed in plain language.

    yeah.

    one of the essentials in a "fireside chat" is a capacity to speak fecking english. stop using bloody spin words and expand a little. it might take longer but at least you know everyone'll follow what your saying.
