So the delusion begins...

According to that great political expert, Eoghan Harris, this is a good result for his beloved FF according to himself anyhow. He didn't dwell on his old pal Bertie's brother drubbing in Bertie's heartland. Highlight of the election for me

The man is deluded. Given that this, given that that, given that the other. This clown is supposed to be a journalist. In older days of real journalists and a decent press, the proof readers would have shovelled that article back in his face and the editor would surely have prepared his P.45.

Still, it sells paper for the Sindo and that's what counts these days. How anyone buys that rag astounds me. I even have eye strain reading the headlines online.

That's not Eoghan Harris, it's Eoghan Corry and much as I enjoy a good Sindo bashing he makes some valid points and offers a not unreasonable analysis of where they are and why they are there. In the next local elections they can probably go no lower and may even win some seats. If we have had a couple of years of Labour/FG pain they could do better than that. That doesn't mean they are going to be back in government any time soon. Unless FG/Labour make a dog's dinner of it they could be out in the cold for two Dails.

Thats both unfair and harsh.








He's paying off his Seanad seat.

I know that Eoghan Harris has a great propensity to interpret the world in strange ways, where the only recurrent idea is that "Harris is right".

But the byline on this piece is Eoghan Corry.

[I see that is_that_so got in with the correction before I did. That's because I went off to have another look at the piece before posting, and decided that it is not worth discussing any of Corry's nonsense.]

Dear me I misread. However this guy's ramblings are so close to our "esteemed" senator that one might seek indulgence for this error.

I do not agree with his points, he sounds like the last buzz of that infamous dying wasp...

The country is going to hell in a FF motorised handcart, has been doing so for quite some time now and we are down to analysing what went wrong and who can we blame. Even today we cannot attribute this to bad FG leadership.

Is there a link to the Eoghan Harris article?

The one in post 1 is written by somebody else

Or maybe I'm missing something obvious

Yes, and I edited my post to show this before you quoted me.

Ah well, at least the Sindo isn't trying to blame the Provo's and Sinn Fein for everything anymore from global warming to the unhealthy tendencies of Afghanistan to supply the world with opium.

LOL I wonder was he wearing a cheerleaders outfit when he wrote that.

Bertie Ahern, the one's the Taoiseach chooses.....

he does not want an election cause then he may not be a senator any more.... 'cui bono' or who benefits as they ask at the Courts

I read somewhere that Brian Lenihan is blaming the FF candidate selection process for the slight glitch over the last couple of days. I like a dry sense of humour.

Once Fine Gael get in he,ll become their lickarse apologist.The mans had more political positions than I,ve had hot dinners.He was John Brutons adviser at one point so i,ve no doubt he,ll try to worm back into their good graces.

Before that he,ll find something to pontificately praise about FGs new economic/northern policies.He,ll announce that that policy changes everything and has convinced him to support the new power.The old Marxist Sticky Blueshirt Unionist Generalissimo of Destiny truly is shameless.

We've been subjected to a lot of delusion over the past 5 years if not longer.:rolleyes:
