    This should really be a head to head, Browne v Hook. The other panellists are not needed.

    +1000

    He's got Hook on, to defend Enda and FG... since enda wont come on himself.. would be great TV if it was a head to head..

    O'Hanlon is a former Minister of Health. There's some controversy involving his time in health, that I forget.

    "With Enda, you get the impression that someone has written all his words for him"

    That's because someone has.:rolleyes:

    As usual, I'm about 20 mins behind the rest of ye, but it has to be said this is great stuff...loving the relaxed attitude. Very entertaining stuff.

    The show was getting a bit stuffy the last couple of nights but thats probably just politics overload on my behalf...

    I wish some journalists did an FOI to see how much has been spent on Enda's spin doctors and PR people.

    Yeah but Sardy, I always argued that there is a set bunch of questions that you know will be put to any politician.. and he should be GRILLED on it every day by an advisor, so that he has the answers to a tee.. Sinn Fein made an art form of it ..... If you see the movie W, about Bush, Karl Rove used to drill him on all issues every day so that he had his answers down...

    Enda dropped the ball with the "would you go in to government with sinn fein" question the last time he was on the LLS.. by being ambiguous.. He SHOULD have had the answer learned off, but didnt and he lost votes because of it...

    It's not the prepared nature of the answers that troubles me. It is the fact that they are not his own answers and are only soundbites dreamt up by a pr guru based.

    We deserve better than this guff.

    And I know it is not confined to Inda, BTW.

    George Hook's autobiography is a great read, he's brutally honest about his own faults and life experiences in it.

    Well worth a read, he's not my favourite radio presenter but he is very candid about lucky he is to be on the air.

    thought it was his grandfather? or perhaps it was his grandmother, on his father's side.

    Tubridy would have a field day! :)

    He came to Ireland in 1966 on a 3 day visit. Bit of a culture shock from fighting in the South American tropics i'd say...
