Aw boo hoo poor him.I think the pics painted him in a better light.But hey he got his apology.Now how about an apology to the people of Ireland u and the other criminals have ruined??
i love how people find it funny that brian cowen asked for an apology, i wonder how other people would react if rte displayed nude portraits of them on the news. also what the hell are people complaining about free speech for, brian cowen asked them to apologies and they did, if there was no free speech he could have taken rte news off the air and executed the producers like what would of happened during facist recimes. would everyone stop being so fucking stupid and wake up
dont get me wrong tho, brians sound, but when it comes to politics,es a fukn joke, ..FF is the most corrupt party to be seen in europe with the exeption of the german nation socialists (their fancy name for the nazi party).
as much as i HATE FF ,and all that they and cowen stand for, ..fukin with his personal life was too far. thats the kinda thing ud expect from his party.. cunts
Oh and as Cowen was Minister for Finance for Aherns tenure as Taoiseach, he is certainly deserving of a lot of the blame regarding the state that the country is in.
But of course this culture of over spending beyond our means developed within the country so why would the government not be that same...
The Majority of people voted for the present government.Following on from the second Lisbon referendum can we now have a second election so we can return the correct result next time.
If he actually knew anything about public relations he would have made a joke about it, that way people would have looked at him as being able to take a joke, which would probably have endeared him to people.
I bet if he made a joke about it, people would also be complaining. It would be all, "Oh Cowen shouldn't be messing about, he's the Taoiseach and he should be more serious about his job" You can't win with some people, stop blaming him for your problems, it's not his fault Bertie Ahern didn't stop the boom in the construction industry
Where in my post did I blame him for anyones problems.....
I just said he couldn't take a joke. Which he clearly can't. Ahern would have been able to take a joke, even if he was an utter gobsheen. He certainly wouldn't have made a big thing out of it.
The majority of them are fairless useless, Cowen included, but they are only human so it's not as if people expect miracles. They do expect competent people to be running the country though.
Cowan is a FAT RETARD that I didnt get to vote against- I didnt get a vote on him getting in there in the first place!
He should be KICKED OUT because he was NOT voted in there!
(PS) I have TOTAL respect for any persons out there that are mentally retarded in any way,shape or form as they are MORE intelligent than MrCowan who is a FAT RETARDED CUNT trying to SELL Ireland to his new EU buddies that dont even wanna talk with him- /watch?v=e3vEOSkk5AM
Shut the f**k up, I'd like to see how you'd manage if you were the Taoiseach. Bertie Ahern was the real culprit with the recession, and he gt out just in time and now Brian Cowen is trying to pick up the pieces.
I nor anybody in this country had anything to do with the choice of Brian Cowen as head of government, so undemocratic a bit of hetlerism, Greens are just hanger ons , since they agreed to up the diesel after asking all to drive diesel, this can be fixed in june
I've always been one to take the piss out of the lefties, but I have to admit, the RTE apology and gardai investigation.... this smacks of potato facism. Cowen and his bunch are not only financially (and dare I asy socially) inept but actually dangerous to democracy.
So I see young eamonreilly now thinks it's acceptable to send messages to people telling them to keep their mouths shout because they have different views to him.
Fuck that and fuck him.
Anyway, I have a idea. Why don't you tell eamonreilly what you think of him?
Unfortunately, he doesn't allow comments on his profile.
The idea that everything exists to be laughed at is now almost unchallengeable.
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.
Its laughable how you feel you commend a level of superiority over other Youtube users who have chosen to comment on this page. Your childish mindset has clearly fed your own ego. Eamon Reily may I suggest you sit back down in your wheelchair and calm down. You pathetic virgin.
Hes a fat cunt BIFO thats for sure the whole world is laughung at us......OOf this was France or England ect, The ppl would string up this shower of cunts! Last Paddy's day there Jet bill was €17,000 and they tell us to tighting up and shop local FUCK OFF 21.5 VAT!! Were like sheep fuck the lot of them!!! Cant wat till they start knocking on door's.....FUCKERS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!1
god help us all!!! between the muck-savages "running" the country, and the greedy cunts milkking it you'd think we'd enough to be getting on with without the like of dickheads like eamonoreilly to be contending with. it;s the likes of self-important fuckers like this that have kept this country a fianna fail fiefdom for the last 20 years!
Cowens a rabbit caught in the headlights when faced with our fiscal problems.All hes worried about is two paintings.The government has lost touch with the people.
Your whole outlook is very very far fetched... This video is simply what one would refer to as humour which you clearly lack in abundance.... I personally dont care about this "issue" but at the same time there's no harm in having a laugh... so get a sense of humour eamon

Maybe Brian Cowen should do likewise and go on tv to apologise to the old age pensioners who's medical cards he took away and to the teenage girls who had their cervical cancer jabs taken away.What an absolutely idiotic move which will turn people even more against him and his government.
I think he will be ok cause he will prob give himself another pay increase while this country continues to stuggle with the economic downturn,
We should have the respect for our taoiseach and not to make a mockery out of him but he clearly deos not have the leadership qualities to lead this country, I never have and I will never be voting for fianna fail again
I'm guessing the artist was finding it hard to sell his paintings, so he took advantage of public opinion. And now his paintings will sell for more money, everyone has fallen into his plan. He'll be getting rich in a reccession after this. Anyone who buys his work is a fool!
(Im a student artist, you shouldn't trick people into buying your work, if the work is good, it should be able to sell itself, don't sell your work at the expence of someone's dignity!)
Right on, Stelloe. Stand up to the internet bullies and take the uncool, unpopular opinion against the flock of brainless sheep that live here. I'm an artist too and would NEVER stoop so LOW.
What kind of a headcase would actually bother to paint them, get on a bus with them, put glue all over the national museum wall, drive a nail and hang them up! And a teacher??? Cowen has nothing to do with it really, its disrespectful to the office of Taoiseach. Try it in America and the FBI would kick your ass!!! and rightly so.
Rubbish, How many times has x P Bush been riddiculed in public . Its called freedom of expression here in Ireland. Have you lost that right in the States.
maybe if the govenment focused on doing something for the country instead of just lining their own pockets and continuing to drain its resources both them and its citizens would be in a better place. The country is fucked and Biffo is worried about some parodies of his likeness. The Bankers and Government officials that oversaw the economic collapse of Ireland need to be taken to task. Meanwhile the Quislings in charge tell us we must vote again for Lisbon. The Government is in treason.
apparently the gardí are trying to charge him under the incitement to hatred act, indecency and criminal damage (for driving a nail into the wall of the art gallery). surley the Gardí have something better to do.
Clearly freedom of expression and freedom of speech are no longer on offer as a basic right in this country...although im sure if you feel like robbing from the poor to give to the rich we'll then thats just peachy...clearly this government has graduated from the Robert Mugabe school of good governance!
I actually think the paintings were very good. ..and funny. Mr Cowen needs to put his priorities in order. and come on...if anything that portrait actually shed a couple of pounds off his real chin.
In the same week that Gardaí seek to arrest this prankster, shots (live rounds) are fired in a Limerick as a drugdealing gangster's funeral cortege passes through his estate. No follow up on that one though.
thanks , i do do hope this artist get off with less that a € 5 fine!!! as and artist myself i think he made a very valid point about the state of our government. i mean, look at mary harney too!!!! im just waiting for the next masterpiece to be done by this anonymous guy, believe me, he will be worth a forture in years to come and best of luck to him ...... : D
forced to apologise!!!!!! (i had said that before i even read above!!!!) if Brian C is so worried about his manboobs he should do something about it rather than waste his time trying to fix our recession!!!!!!
