5pm, Still in The Office

I’ve just heard The Taoiseach’s “apology”. It was a non-apology apology, to paraphrase Ben Bradlee.

He’ll get through this, but what struck me about it was not so much the speech and the apologies, but rather the texts and comments that came in to The Last Word on Today FM. Either he did brilliantly or he sucked. And the same went for Enda Kenny and Pat Rabbitte.

He’s either a crook or a legend.
