It’s time for Cowen’s swansong

BRIAN Cowen is the bad gift that keeps on giving. He is also living proof, if it were needed, that it is indeed the case that those whom the gods would destroy, first they make mad.

Mr Cowen has been flailing about in a state of virtual shock ever since the fateful night he acted to cover the losses of Anglo Irish Bank, coincidentally covering his failure to regulate that bank in the process.
