    Anglo's €300m. Does Cowen know?

    Who are the Ten Commanders of the Anglo share swindle? We own the bank but our leader doesn't know and doesn't seem bothered to ask.

    In the past we knew when a FF Taoiseach was telling porkies because his lips moved?
    Are there any tell-tale signs with Biffo?

    Well, the regulator got legal advise before allowing this to happen, so, I'd be shocked of he did not know.

    He told the Dáil today it wasn't 'his function' to know.

    He pledges our money to pay these guys bad calls and says that to our faces.

    I was told about this story months ago, and it goes a lot deeper.

    I think he found Berties book of semantics
    Or the book of smoke and daggers.
    He knows.
    But you have to ask the right way otherwise he'll roar on about not being asked.
    More pointed and lethal potentially was the question asked by Enda.
    Were any members of the goverment involved?
    What is that about?
    Its only a chat, we ain't the world council.
    In 2000 the Women's Institute in Britain gave Tony Blair the slow hand clap to demonstrate their contempt.
    [COLOR="Red"]It was dignified, restrained and effective.[/COLOR]Doesn't Bertie deserve the same scorn. No shouting, no abuse, no agression just a relentless slow clap whenever he speaks in public would be enough to end that man's presidential fantasy.
