Seriously, where has Bertie been all day?Pat Rabbitte has been on RTÉ the whole time, Enda’s popped up to celebrate every couple of hours, McDowell was very quiet but well, that was for a good reason, and since he got elected Sargent has been on all the time too.
What’s the story?
Edit by Cian: Presidential entry to round of applause (!) on RTE at 23:20

What happens in Dublin doesn’t stay in Dublin. For example, the weakness in IFSC-based Depfa bank affects a bridge in Vancouver.
Dominique Moisi in the FT: The gold medal for selfishness may once more be given to the Irish, who have followed the ingratitude of their No vote on the Lisbon treaty with absolute contempt towards the search for a collective solution to the financial crisis. The European spirit is low and a “European political will” is lacking.
Cathal Coleman out at my alma mater emailed the details of his adult education course on Democracy this morning. The course is called The Worst Form of Government: Democracy from Plato to Marx and full details are in the pdf.

Keith has a great post tying together the threads of Bertie's evidence at the Mahon Tribunal
Obama takes the gloves off and the US Election gets dirtier. Take a gander at his new ad attacking McCain's dirty campaign.
Taking it quietly and savouring it I Reckon
Just arrived in Montrose.
Maybe he was on the phone to Pat or Trevor!
Just been on TV, looking like the cat that got the cream, and who can blame him.
Bertie looked a bit pissed off on RTE when he was asked about his “issues”.. Bloody right you should be worried Bertie .. maybe until the next saga!
Don’t agreed with Declan, thought he was still worried about who to coalesce with as the PDs are gone. He vaguely tried to seduce with Labour ["look into my eyes, look into my eyes"] and sought to blame the media (who all are wedded to big salaries and expense accounts apparently!) for all the tough questions. Yep was really pissed by personal finance questions and he didn’t convince saying there were no other gremlins on that score.
And, about nothing at all, I see Mark Little has gone prematurely chestnut…
Worried? Not at all. You heard him, he’s “a tough man, a fit man” but the poor man’s been working on 4 hours sleep for the past few days. He has no worries about who to form government with because he has plenty of options and can play Labour and the Tree-Huggers off each other with the carrot of being in government. Personally I hope he entices Jackie Healy-Rae in too if only for entertainment value.
