‘Charlatan’ jibe is like the kettle calling the pot black

I am sure that I am not the only reader who is still chuckling at last week’s page three headline that Noonan has refused to go on ‘charlatan’ Browne’s programme (Irish Examiner, 26 December).

For any finance minister to accuse Vincent Browne of being a charlatan is like an informant accusing Julian Assange or Edward Snowden of being a blabbermouth.
