What we need are ideas, action, pride and something to believe in

All politicians are losers. Who, other than a born loser, would go into a business where everybody insults you, every journalist tells you what to do, (based on no personal experience whatever) and gloats when you fail to do it, make a mistake, get fat or are clocked speeding?

THEY may be bouncing along on the Sunday Business Post opinion poll results, but I’m still not speaking to Fine Gael, because they didn’t invite me to their think-in.

Not that any political party ever has. I’ve trained people from every party in Dáil Éireann, mopped their tears, celebrated their successes, but invite me to one of their gatherings, they never have. I don’t know why. I could tell them they’re losers, like George Hook did, although not from so great a height or with such enthusiasm.
