I don’t need an excuse to tell the truth about Comrade The Messiah.
“he isn’t the crass idiot our yoke is.”
Time will tell. You’ll see. I can all but guarantee you that if Cowengate happened here he would have jack-booted thugs fanning out throughout the country and no news organization would need to apologize because none of them would have reported ANYTHING about it. It would only be the evil internet journalists, whose sites would suddenly be shut down. Just as you said, All hail our glorious leader. We appear to be in a similar boat.

Bernard – The perfect term! Unfortunately the Bloggy world has chosen ‘picturegate’ for some strange reason.

Surely this is the perfect time to make use of the phrase “Cowengate”

Just to answer my own question, I saw this load of shite on the RTE news site:

“It is understood the man may be prosecuted for alleged criminal damage after he was captured by CCTV putting glue on to the gallery walls before hanging the pictures.”

FFS!

I was just reading that the Gardai have interviewed the artist and are preparing a file to send to the DPP.

WTF?

What are the charges I wonder?

Brianf – One of these days I’ll manage to write something where you won’t have an excuse to attack BO? Whatever you think about him, he isn’t the crass idiot our yoke is.

Kae – Surely you are used to that by now?

TheChrisD – Do you want my contact on eBay??

It’s a bit of a worry. If they can supress something as frivolous as Cowan in the jacks just think the lengths they would go to keep the state of the economy secret….
