    McDowell should apply to join FF,after all he propped them, up even under Bertie, and swallowed his nags winnings, biscuit box banking and false memories. Along with flawed economics that brought this country to its knees.
    You'd think Kenny committed Treason and brought in IMF. Cowen had all in stitches in Galway at 3.30a.m.but he was "not impaired" -DD Power. FF=Publican páirtí an IMF.

    A problem that FG is not without recent experience of.

    It was PD policy on the economy that buggered up the country. Their mad idea that we didn't need to pay income tax meant we needed to keep the bubble going to live off the transaction taxes.

    The PDs were a cancer on the body politic and it's our tragedy that we took so long to excise them.

    I wasted three years of my life with a history degree, got it 2:1, which was okay. He was one of my lecturers. It's amusing that a fairly bookish man with an English accent ghostwrote Mr BA's fictional biography, and was involved in this McDowell business.

    Sorry I got mixed up.

    It was Richard Waghorn not Aldous who was doing the donkey work for McDowell.

    Leave the so and so where he is, in the Law Library, or why does he not go to his spiritual home FF, whom he backed for years to the detriment of this great little country

    IMO very unlikely that he will join any party/ found a new one. I think he's content to make his millions at the bar and occasionally surface to make statements like this.
