Pat Rabbitte, rottweiler of the Labour politburo, seems to have a habit of coming a cropper in hotel bars and public houses. What will the Dear Leader think about all this then? Expect some serious Garda overtime for the next week or two. It’s an ill wind that blows nobody any good.
The first video below seems to be from some rather odd libertarian-type (Slán Abhaile Eachtrann? Seriously?) so apologies but worth a watch.
Update 24/07/2013: Video removed and now hosted on the YouTube channel of Dublin Says No.

These people have no comment because they have no answers. The younger and junior politicians in both Government parties are looking at their options and formulating strategies to survive the next election. They are in serious trouble and the likes of Mr Rabbitte know it. It will not surprise me that many of his ilk will retire and not even contest the next election.

As yes, the rumour mill is fairly churning with news that several Labour TDs are ready to “spend more time with their family” rather than face electoral humiliation. Of course they will hold out as long as possible before announcing it, in some cases deliberately so in order to give Gilmore and co. the one finger by making candidate selection as awkward as possible.
