Gilmore hams it up

Labour leader Eamon Gilmore’s laborious party address was embarrassing.

Being a politician requires the neck of a giraffe, and Mr Gilmore extended his, with meaningless drivel.

Gilmore, and most of his trusted lieutenants, will be rewarded come the next election for afflicting us with cartoon politics. They will be able to enjoy the fruits of massive pensions, and find cozy jobs in quangos here, or in Brussels.
