    Gilmore calls Cowen a "Monkey" and Kenny blames FF "success"

    Well to be precise Eamonn Gilmore said “If the banks weren’t telling you what was really going on in the banks at the time you were coming in here, they were making a monkey out of you,

    &

    Enda Kenny also told the Dáil: “We’re in this mess, not because Fianna Fáil policies have failed, but because they have succeeded.”

    Time for the elusive Michael Martin to take the reins?

    Gilmore to Cowen: The banks have made a monkey out of you!

    Cowen's response: looks like a disgruntled monkey.

    yea, so politicos might like it, but Gilmore's comments were picked up by the mainstream media yesterday and played over and over, unlike Kenny's

    the word monkey might really stick
