Sinn Fein's 'big guns'?

Pearse Doherty's 'pop's, Pat, Gerry Adams
with Mary Lou McDonald

SINN Fein's 'big guns' have yet to wade into the debate about the south's unravelling economy.

Pearse 'poster boy' Doherty is as slick as hair oil 'waxing' on about finance but the party's minders have yet to unleash heavy assests from their republican arsenal.

When will 'el presidente' Gerry Adams and his red rouged sidekick, Mary 'who?' McDonald yap on about the state of the 'nation'.

Caoimhín O'Caoláin has rightly milked 'Cowan-gate' this past fortnight, notably, some 30 months after his 'I spy' trip to Druid's Glen, summer 2008.

Then, he had 'bumped' into Brian Cowan playing a four ball with Anglo Irish Bank's disgraced head honcho, Sean Fitzpatrick, five months prior to that bank's implosion and whose debts are now unconditionally guaranteed by Ireland's compliant taxpayers.

I hope Sinn Fein's financial planning includes something more concrete than a bunker beneath a barn or a balaclava raid on Donegal Square.
