The fact that Our Glorious Leader cannot take a joke is now firmly fixed in the nations psyche: making RTE apologise for their light-hearted (OK, they were all pissing themselves) coverage of the mysterious case of the magically appearing nudey pictures was a really, really bad PR move.
Brian, you should have taken this like a man, laughed it off and then gone home and cried into your teddy bear in private, if you’d felt that awful about it all. Now, added to the fact we think you’re a bully and a blusterer, it seems you can’t take a slagging either.
And I presume Herr Cowen didn’t pose for his portraits – oh delicious art-related irony, an oil painting of NO OIL PAINTING – meaning we’ve no real idea if he a) actually wears blue and white y-fronts and b) if he really has those man-boobs. But if he does, then he could do with a bit of help in that department. And who better to provide it than Ireland’s Top Beauty Blog, eh?
So what should Brian do about his decolletage? Sadly, Pout’s acclaimed Bustier is no more, but he could try another firming cream, like Decleor’s Perfect Sculpt Bust Beautifying Toning Gel or Clarins’ Bust Beauty Lotion. On the cheaper side of things, No 7 and Avon both do reasonably priced firming products.
Of course, Cowen shouldn’t be seen to be flagrantly spending money on his fine good looks in these recessionary times, so we’d also suggest that he try a splash of an astringent toner – or even cold water – after his morning wallow to help tighten and tone skin.

as far as i know it was a ‘and finally piece….’ but i mean if all we want to hear is bad news and look at dower faces then by all means complain that rte news are being far to happy! i need a drink
Hermione – hear! hear! And some of use didn’t even elect them in the first place
And does anyone remember the caricatures of Maggie Thatcher etc? They were brutal but that’s politics for you!
Hannah – No, we did not! Even those who did, didn’t elect them on a platform of cutting services and taxing everything in sight!
I love, love, love the Spitting Image sketch of Maggie and the vegetables
Hermione – heehee. And Maggie was portrayed as a cross dresser who used urinals and took advice from Adolf Hitler who didn’t die and was posing as her gardener ‘Herr Jeremy’.
Its actually embarassing for us as a nation that RTE apologised. its like a regression towards a facist state, with all communication censored.
sigh…
wonderful pair…of pics, it has to be said..
make that a sad old pair…

No oil painting – well said mrs.
The internet has reduced public debate to the level of a drunken argument, in which no holds are barred, in which deeply unpleasant people get to voice their ignorant opinions in the ugliest terms, in the name of “free speech”. The idea that we all need “a laugh” has allowed the “joke” to become elevated beyond everything. Nobody may object if others have declared something “funny”.
