So Charlie Bird went to Washington and didn’t like the sensation of being a small fish in a big pond. And George Lee went to the Dail and didn’t like the sensation of being a small fish in a puddle. So it appears they are both now attempting to swim their way back to RTE – where they can return to being two tadpoles in a petri dish.
Poor old George Lee couldn’t make up his mind which taxpayer’s tit he wanted to suck on (if you’ll excuse the shift in metaphor). Would he opt for the cosy gentlemen’s club of Dail Eireann, with its backslapping bonhomie and life of comfortable obscurity? Or would he opt for Montrose, where his sense of self-importance would be sustained by a compulsory yearly payment of 160 euro from every household in the country?
Who knows what will happen next? We’re all on the edge of our seats, waiting to see the next episode of this squalid national non-drama.
A tadpole is actually an ampbhibian. It's not a fish.
ReplyDeleteGeorge Lee was correct about the most important thing: the property boom. He was warning anyone who would listen about that for years. Give him credit for that.
