    Did he seriously believe he could replace Richard Bruton after just 9 months

    George on RTE now sounding very bitter and disappointed.

    (He's also sounding a little messianic.)

    Bruton has an MPhil from Oxford, not a PhD.
    Unenthusiastic about any of the buggers.

    He thought his fame entitled him to walk in and get a top job. Bruton has been around for years and earned his stripes. Bruton is probably the finest TD in the dail. Commenting on news doesn't mean you have the abilities to fix things. Maybe he did, none of us know what he said behind closed doors.

    Could George be persuaded to stay if Bruton took on the leadership and he was offered the Finance portfolio?

    He keeps saying 'he can't see his mind being changed', which means there is the chance that it might be...

    Utter rubbish.

    The media do not choose the FG party leader. If you want to have any input, grow a pair and join the party.
