There was a buzz around work just before Bertie resigned. A bit of slagging over the fact that people who should have known didn't seem to have a clue and a lot of comment about timing.
I think his timing was absolutely perfect. There was a little frisson of guilt and regret in the air. Did the media and lawyers at the Mahon Tribunal hound out our best leader ever? Was Bertie a "flawed good guy?" Are all politicians flawed good guys? Would a Perfect Peter be able to bring peace to the North?
My nine year old wanted to know what BIFFO stood for. Thank God he thought it was rude and mean. He now wants to know does anyone call Brian Cowen BIFFO to his face. I hope not. If it becomes Brian's nickname how are we going to explain the term to our international friends???
