    What's sensational about McDowell spinning? He does it ALL THE TIME.

    I heard RTE news straight after Enda Kenny's interview today and they were reporting it this way as well.

    It's strange because I don't think he ever said that. He said that McDowell had put information from the Tribunal into the public domain (which he did). And he said McDowell had form in leaking.

    He has to keep this up. All day today and all day tomorrow.

    It doesn't matter where the leaks came from. What matters now is where the electorate thinks they came from.

    Sweet jesus!

    The man has form, but it's bit of a stretch to suggest he'd spoonfeed Connolly...

    Anyway isn't the official rumour that the leaks are coming from rival Soldiers Of Destiny?

    Bertie is being used as bait to protect the electoral interests of FF. The leaks are coming from inside FF to curry public sympathy for Bertie so that the electorate will vote against the Media.

    Its a win:win for FF. If FF don't get back into Government, Bertie was always going to be replaced, so they can risk his political credibility in this high stakes poker game with no real downside.

    Kenny gave his word that the leaks did not come from FG. How can he know this unless he knows for a fact the real source of the leaks. That makes his accusation a very serious one and one that may end up in court.
