FG Front Bench Stronger than Cabinet

[The Earl of Desmond]

When you grow up and learn English syntax and spelling you might have another think.

Why should I waste my time using snytax when discussing FFers - it's not like anyo f you will know what it means.

Quite correct, run along now won't you...
Oh, forget the syntax, learning how to spell might be more suited to your evidentially limited capabilities.

Oh go away your peasant. I note you failed to offer any FF names for consideration as intellectuals - Cullen - no? O'Dea - no? Martin - seriously no? Ahern the crook or Ahern the thug - no? Hanafin - purlease! Coughlan - as if? Dempsey - lol. Roche - are you kidding me? Cowen - where do you begin!

The FG version of a female intellectual colossus

Well she is a solicitor. Can't be a total idiot.

You'd think, until she opens her mouth.

In fairness to big Pete, he is in a league of his own. He could have been Taoiseach, President...anything...and Goldman Sachs and the Vatican are about as good as it gets.

I would have thought that being Chair of BP and (Executive ?) Chairman of Goldman Sachs as well as chairing the Uruguay round of Trade talks were slightly better than a gig as the Taoiseach or President of Ireland?

Cowen would be considered an intellectual. And Lenihan too. And maybe Mansergh but as Supermanpolitician says, that one is a little suspect. But sadly thats it... And they have twice as many parliamentarians as FG..

But as Earl of Desmond says, they are more reflective of the general public than FG or Labour.. which is why I mourn for this nation..

Still, more brain cells than any of the wimmin in the cabinet today.

The point is that the FF people are on the field of play and have been for some years while the FG people are on the bench, so who knows, but there’s generally a good reason why some play while others sit on the bench. The only thing we can say is that the easiest job in politics is to oppose and up to now FG haven’t exactly covered themselves in glory, it’s too early to say for the new lot, but as for the rest, they’ve had their shot and missed.

The question I’d like answered is do FF have any supporters like supermanpolitician or EOD, Jesus I sure hope not, as a FF supporter I find their attitude & backing of FG hugely comforting.

Well Im not sure what you mean by 'supporters like supermanpolitician or EOD' but you guys have Apparatchik and foxrockman, which are formidable posters when it comes to shi.te on this website.

Dr. James Reilly is the most formidable opponent the Government have on the opposition benches.

As I understand it both the posters you mention are FG supporters.

If you don’t understand what I mean about Superman & EOD, maybe I should add a third to the list.
