Cowen's idea of economic leadership: create a new quango

[White Horse]

The Taoiseach has appointed a taskforce to support the development of the so-called Smart Economy - the Government's economic renewal plan that was launched last December.
Brian Cowen said the panel would advise the Government on how best to present Ireland as an international innovation hub.
He also said it was important to restructure Ireland's economy to take advantage of the global upturn when it comes.

Chaired by Dermot McCarthy at the Department of the Taoiseach, the panel's other members include senior academics and bosses at the likes of Intel, HP, Cisco, KPMG and Johnson & Johnson.
RTÉ News: Cowen appoints economy taskforce

While the government closes the Dail for several months, they have appointed a new quango (at what cost I wonder) to do it's job for them.

Does Cowen even understand leadership or is this a recognition that he isn't up to the job?

He is like the Noble Duke of York

Verse 1:
Oh, the noble Duke of York
He had ten thousand men
He marched them up to the top of the hill and
Marched them down again

Verse 2:
And when you're up, you're up
And when you're down, you're down
And when you're only half way up
You're neither up nor down

Verse 3:
Oh, a-hunting we will go
A-hunting we will go
We'll catch a little fox
And put him in a box
And then we'll let him go

Some grand little games he could play while he is at it.

No seriously - we need a real leader and Cowen is not that person. He's does it his way...
