Because, you know, we’re not highly paid. And we’re not feeling enormously positive. And it’s actually a little more complex than you make out.

Just saying stuff like ‘Yes, We Can’ and asking: “Why is there so much anger out there?” and “let’s have some good news’ makes us want to smash our radios into our own faces

The problem is you are not even remotely angry.

Also, the people you meet around Ireland are friendly and welcoming to you because you are on the telly. It’s like the Queen. She thinks the world smells of fresh paint.

We have no idea. If anyone has any suggestions…

Having invited Brian Cowen onto his show for the umpteenth time in three years, and had the invitation turned down yet again, Vincent Browne turned up at the press conference in Government Buildings last night and comprehensively pwned the taoiseach.

The highlights:

VB: You don’t think that you’ve contributed to the screwing up of this country?

BC: I don’t accept your contention – the premise of your question – that I am the bogey-man you’re looking for, no.

VB: Who else in public office bears anything like the responsibility for the devestation caused to this country than you?

BC: I don’t accept that…etc.

VB: The reality is – and everybody but you seems to know this – you’re a liability, not just to your party, not just to your government, but to the country, because nobody believes you…people know you’re the guy most responsible for the chaos that’s been caused. Don’t you owe it as an act of patriotism to the Irish people to get out now?

BC: Sorry Vincent I don’t accept the premise of what you’re saying…

You will recall Vincent handed Bertie Ahern his own ass in 2007:
