    I am fascinated by the Holier than thou air this man tries to project. One would be forgiven for thinking he was part of the solution, rather than a chief player in our financial collapse. This man sat at the table while two finance ministers and two Taoiseachs sold us to the developers and bankers. He was a party to every wrong decision made by Brian Lenihan and Brian Cowan and indeed by Bertie Aherne. How dare he ask Joe Public to vote for him. Throw him out, he has done enough damage to us.
