    Where have all the FF Senior Ministers Gone

    Have Fianna Fail gagged all its senior ministers? Watched Vincent Brown tear shreds off John Moloney (FF junior minister) last night. Monday night wee Willie O`Dea took the wrath of the audience on Q&A and was forced to apologise to the elderly for the sins of his government. Where is Mary "from the Glens" Coughlan, Dermot Ahern, John "tree hugging" Gormally, Mary "mammy" Hanafin. Are they gone to ground when a little bit of trouble comes upon them. They will probably look for political asylum in Iraq when the real recession starts to bite.

    I heard Hanafin on newstalk @ lunch yesterday, she reckoned everything is going to be ok and that the stock markets were starting to rebound. Yes, she said this....as for ahern + mickey martin? they are keeping well out of view because they are getting ready to plan their leadership coups.

    Isn't that what Paula Cole was singing about.

    Where is my Ray Burke
    Where is Scape Goat
    Where is my Medical Card
    Where have all the cowboys gone

    Why don't you stay the evening
    Kick back and watch the TV
    And I'll fix some books and cheat
    Oh I know your leg hurts from falling down the stairs
    How do you take your smithwicks my sweet
    I will look after the aunty if you avoid all the bills

    Chorus

    I am wearing my smoke and dagger
    But you don't care, you hang me out to dry
    Say our goodbyes
    Say our goodbyes
    Say our goodbyes

    We finally sold aer lingus
    Annd Lisbon 2 on the way
    And you gives jobs to the boys
    You made friends in Manchester
    And you joined them at the races
    Almost every single day of the week
    I will shoot of to the bank while you go have a beer

    Chorus

    Where is my Manchester man
    Where is his tax cert
    Where are you reciepts
    Where have all the cowboys gone
    Where have all the cowboys gone
    Where have all the cowboys gone

    Yippee aw, yippee yea (6 times)

    Of course their gone to ground!

    Send out the juniors with promises of being looked after if a leadership coup should so happen!

    Why would any minister pop their head above cover at the moment? Bad enough that the country is in crisis, but having caused the crisis it would be sheer madness for them to speak!

    I have little time for O'Dea, but at least he had the balls to face the music, while others hid under their beds.

    The thing that confuses me most is how did these people become ministers in the first place? When Ahern was there (I refuse to call him Bertie) he took up the media's entire attention while you didn't really notice the sacks of sh.ite he had assembled in cabinet backing him up. Look around that cabinent and you will not see one person who fills you with the slightest bit of confidence.

    He seems to have vanished for some reason, can't imagine why.............
    Senior ministers seem to be ducking for cover and praying this all goes away
