The Dither Twins keep dithering as the circus rolls on
Brian Cowen spent the past four days working out whether he was still Taoiseach, or not, while would-be successor Micheál Martin used the time to decide whether to finally make a decision or not (after deciding against deciding, he decided that looked indecisive so launched a sort-of challenge but decided to stay in the cabinet serving the leader he’d decided was decidedly inadequate. There’s decisive decision-making for you!).
Who’s been running the country since last Thursday? Don’t ask the Taoiseach, he’s been too busy having an “excellent dialogue” with those in his own party who want to topple him from office, like his “excellent friend”, the foreign minister.
