Vincent Browne is asking all the right questions tonight, exposing the latest borrowing at 6% as a political ploy by Fine Gwael.

....and compare that to the forelock tugging support on Morning Ireland this am, even though someone watched VB last night and asked the same question about 6.3 v 3 % (once, slapped down one presumes...)

VB really did ask the right questions but he doesn't like being upstaged by lawyers better briefed than him, viz the young wan from DCU....

Browne's biggest weakness is his corny sense of humor (usually the only one laughing at his own jokes based on juvenile word play) and he is easily manipulated and put off track when flattered. His marked streak of vanity is violated by guests who know better than him.

It's important to remember that it's a comedy show with a bit of politics and not a politics show with a bit of comedy.

I greatly enjoyed Karen Devine's contribution - she can roll a sardonic eye even better than Vincent. She was also very well informed and brought a principled stance into the often very cynical discussions that Vincent encourages.

I hope he has the bottle to ask her back.

[Dr. FIVE]

She was very good on late debate earlier in the year too.

These head shrinkers are all on the make, never trust a panel that unanimously support the govt minister present.

Hard to blame Reilly for ignoring her.
