“Many of Obama’s detractors have always thought that Obama’s talk of civility and commonality was a form of—take your pick—misty-eyed idealism, cynical performance art, or above-the-fray haughtiness. I could not disagree more. Everything I learned while writing a biography of Obama tells me that his belief in civility, his capacity for hearing out the opposition, his belief in the necessity of compromise, is genuine and deeply ingrained in him.”
David Remnick, New Yorker

Yesterday.Poor bastard.
According to Brian Cowen it wasn’t just Sean Fitzpatrick and Fintan Drury at Druid’s Glen that day in July 2008 when no one spoke about Anglo. The group also included:
Alan Gray, director of the Central Bank and partner at Indecon International Consultants
Gary McGann, CEO Smurfit Kappa and former Anglo director.
Stands to reason. Why would these guys talk about the imminent collapse of a major Irish bank? That’s not what golf is for. And that’s not how they roll.

How did Penguin keep The Fitzpatrick Tapes secret in a city like Dublin?
Irish Publishing News reveals the book was “not listed in Penguin’s internal systems, on Amazon or the Book Depository in advance of publication as would be normal.”
The only sign of a forthcoming book was this page on Penguin Canada:
The book was listed as Lions And Tigers, a fake author name, James Barrington, but the correct ISBN, 9781844882601.
Irish Publishing News adds: “Penguin Ireland MD, Michael McLoughlin said High Street retailers were only informed of the forthcoming title on Friday, and even then, they were not told the title or the subject. Several agreed nonetheless to take copies into stores on Sunday morning [to coincide with The Sunday Times scoop]. Getting copies to bookstores on a Sunday morning required the staff at the publisher to deliver copies directly from their Stephen’s Green office rather than via a distribution company.”
