TONIGHT With Vincent Browne

JonathanAnon

Clare Daly seems to have abandoned her customary "dragged through the hedge backwards" look for the show tonight.. What would ye think.. Was she advised by her political advisors to get in a stylist, or is she just hitting Copper's after the show?

Vincent brought this up before with Ivana Batchik but with so many people out of work why should Seanad members who are already receiving state/simi state salaries get paid another wage nominated by the Taoiseach an extra €60,000 on top of €100,000 plus.
Martin McAleese has refused to take his Money until Mary finishes as President, good man, what about the others?

Tony Foley of DCU is on my list now. He lectured me in college.

The FF guy is right , 16 billion of our GNP is debt fuelled activity.

I've noticed that lately. She looks a little bit more attractive since she became a TD. Must be all those expenses they can claim.

She used to beleive shampoo was a capitalist invention but has softened her stance since joining the ranks of the Dail . Some hardliners in her party think she is going soft and joining the bourgeoisie.

Lucinda looks weird , keeps pulling faces like a kid. As usual yer SF man is running the show.

Bacik represents everything that is wrong with the Senate. She's been a failed Dail candidate for the past couple of General Elections yet she gets a seat in the Seanad through an elitist avenue. She couldn't even get a Dail seat off the coat-tails of Eamon Gilmore yet she still has influence in the legislative process. :rolleyes:

Pity his policies would make things even worse.

Brilliant on the water charge.

fianna fail and fine gael alliance continues, why not just amalgamate the parties and call them fine mess or something?

InReality

If SF ever get into govt I doubt their policies will be anything like what they are saying now.

Harry Angstrom

Lucinda is talking through her hole.

take everything

LOL at the two lines through Jim Power.

Jaysis lucinda is brutal at economics. Why isnt bruton or gurdiev on. VB cant be trusted to play devils advocate with socialists on panel and he sneekily uses stats to suit his own agenda.

Lucinda is behaving very arrogantly....oh yeah, Fine Gael.:rolleyes:

Yeah. Different cheeks of the same arse.

I'm sick of the sneering against Doherty. He's a good politician who makes sense when he speaks and never bungles his points.

Jim Power, the "Friends First" man who refused to admit that the property market would collapse...... I wonder why :rolleyes:

I'm surprised he's still being invited on as a panellist on current affairs programmes.

direct quote from lucinda :
"um yeah"

I think he's a good speaker, but their policies are populist and he has a habit common among shinners in that he sometimes avoids direct questions..

But she is not the only one. The director of "We the citizens" who gets funding fron an Irish/American philanthropist, and also has a director position in Irish Theatre, and has a seat in the Seanad, what else? talk about multi tasking.

The Shinners know they'll never be in power but he's wiping the floor with Lucinda because she only ever concentrates on the comfortable middle class perspective.

Nah in fairness her make over started in 2007 election, you can still google some really scary anti water charges images of her online from the 1990s. She still needs a voice coach do.

Heres Vincent's token working class hero.

That blonde chick is pretty poor on tv.

No disagreement here.

Who is this? Is this mario? Is this a sketch. Surely this is some kind of caricature?

Please. say I'm right. Please.

Dont get me started on that lad.. Broadcasting companies should be held legally responsible for "experts" they have on their shows... He was in with Dunphy the week bin ladan was killed and when asked what he thought of the killing he said "well this is a battle between the west and Islam and I'd rather be on the side of America", to which Mary Fitzpatrick immediately jumped in and called his statement "dangerous".... The man is a dope, no all issues..
