Slicker than a BP oil spill and just as disaster prone

IVOR CALLELY is slicker than a BP oil spill in the Gulf of Mexico – and just as prone to PR disasters.

He walked into the Seanad like he was walking on to a yacht, but any hopes of an explanation as to why the North Dublin senator claimed €81,015 in travel expenses centred on his residence in west Cork, were soon tossed over board. Instead of listening to Ivor Reason, we had a lecture from Ivor Cross To Bear, as Mr Callely laid all the blame for this “distraction” at the feet of the damned media.

Sure, hadn’t he highlighted the “anomalies” in the system, didn’t people understand how “complex” it all was?
