i think his intentions are good and he feels passionately about the topics...BUT he comes across as a blithering idiot because he loses his train of thought half way through a sentance..lol

I admire him - he was the only journalist who asked awkward questions of Bertie and Brian Cowen (that press conference is classic!). Enda is scared of him - remember the empty chair?

I think that the panels on his show are often, not always, way better than anything RTE offer.

As a bonus, Mario Rosenstocks's impersonations are hilarious.

Do I find his coughing, slightly distracted and overly outraged style a bit tired? Yes.

Is there a better alternative? Not in my opinion. RTE tried with a programme on rte2, can't remember the name it but it was the one where Dunphy (aka rent a mouthy knob) lost the head with a girl for being sexist, and it was pure sh*te,

And, for what it is worth I no longer watch the show. When you have genuine experts (e.g. Constantine Gordiyev sp? - to lazy to look it up but a TCD economics expert [again Mario Rosenstock captured him brilliantly!]) telling you night after night just how fu**ed we all are it gets a bit depressing.

But for insightful analysis of the economic mess we are in his show has been hugely important and tells a very different story to the 'official line' you hear on RTE.

If I see the likes of Maureen Gaffney, however, I soon change channel.
