And so it happens

Ireland will apply for a bail out. In an RTE interview Irish finance minister Lenihan has bowed to the inevitable and has recommended that Ireland apply for the IMF/EU bailout.

Some of his comments have driven the Irish twittersphere wild though,

@obrienbarry I usually wouldn't resort to ad-hominem attacks but in this case the only word that comes to find for Lenihan is CUNT
@conoro I wonder what it's like to know that there isn't a single person on the planet who believes a single solitary word you say. #cowen #lenihan
@socialistHR €100,000,000,000 is now a "three figure sum" #bailout #lenihan #imf

Who is next?
