A tough critique. I was surprised that he would consider throwing his hat into the ring. I guess the Shinners shafted him in favour of Michael D.

Perhaps the language of the Brian Mor work is a bit harsh but it is a fairly accurate description of "his lordship'. I would have added Irish Government sychophant, as his whole media business is totally dependent on direct and indirect largesse from Dublin. Take that away and there is nothing there. Of course, such largesse demands a quid pro quo He is a carefully cultivated illusion. Dublin's "Irish American" cultivated for domestic consumption. In the end, O'Dowd is just a self delusional paper tiger, "a legend in his own lunchtime".

Patrick H.

Interesting take. He never stood a chance of making it here.
