It's worse with Cowan (4.00 / 4)
He simply inherited the family business...a common enough feature of Irish politics

Brian Cowen - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Cowen was elected to Dáil Éireann in the Laois-Offaly by-election of 1984, caused by the death of his father.[21] At the time Cowen, at the age of 24, became the youngest member of the 24th Dáil. He was also elected to Offaly County Council in the same year, taking over the seat vacated by his late father

Re: It's worse with Cowan (4.00 / 3)
Saw one report late last night that his popularity rating is now lower than the interest rate that Ireland has signed up to.

Any idiot can face a crisis - it's day to day living that wears you out.
