The bluffing game is up for stonewall Cowen and see-saw Lenihan

SO the Greeks are bearing gifts to our shores. Well, obviously not the Greeks but everyone else in Europe is to give us the digout we don’t really need or want.

Again, the Government has behaved disgracefully by keeping people in the dark and forcing them to depend on foreign briefings by EU personnel to hear the truth.

That Brian Cowen should defend his position on the basis of wanting to keep his cards close in the interests of the country is just a measure of how gullible this Government considers the electorate. The gentlemen in suits are not in town to play poker with Cowen, but if they were to pass the time with a hand of cards, Beggar My Neighbour might be a more apt choice.
