Jump To Comment: 1 2 3 4 5... you've got the provenience of Smyth, by the goolies alright - another squeeze of the Burdizzo on his cojones, si'l vous plait, the whore deserves it.
"Smyth became part of a coterie of politicians, lawyers and hacks – PJ Mara, Adrian Hardiman, Gerry Danaher, McDowell, Eamon Dunphy and others – who frequented the Unicorn, Nesbitts and the Shelbourne in the ’90s and whose proximity to power and information was Sam Smyth manna to a journalist."
And the forementioned Gerry Danaher was the editor of which esteemed publication?
Good post. The man is an obnoxious slimeball. Don't agree with the Boswell comparison, however. Boswell could write. More like Roy Cohen to McDowell's Joe McCarthy.
Thought it might be worthwhile to tune into J.Miller's Radio Show today and lo and behold McDowell was on it!
Well tbh, the brother, or as Smyth pronounced a number of times "the distinguished academic" Moore McDowell was...
Mary O'Rourke and some leftish solicitor (whose name I missed) were on hand to flesh out the panel. None of this is unusal as prior to recent events, the show seemed to either have one of the two McDowells or failing that weighted with one or two that forcibly shared Smyth's neoliberal economic outlook (privatisation, service charges, flat tax, etc...).
Also, according to Moore, Noam Chomsky is an "America hater" and a well known "left winger" since he was 14! The latter point was repeated a number of times! Until the above normally supine solicitor pointed out the lack of prominence of Chomksy in the mainstream media in the US (for instance the moritorium in the NYT) and the preponderance of right wingers on such corporate media.
Also of note, McDowell is a director of the Open Republic Institute ORI http://www.openrepublic.org/about_us_gpt.htm
which engages in public policy analysis. You know the type of thing the CPI was doing prior to erm recent events....
There was an amusing letter in the self-same Pheonix Jan13-Jan26.....

YES, MINISTER
Dear Editor,
Your attacks on what you describe as ‘Michael
McDowell’s Dirty Tricks’ in the last edition of
The Phoenix (16/12/2005) are a challenge to the
authority of the state and the right of ministers to
defend same.
The minister never attacks subversives and
republicans unless he knows what he is talking
about. Given the South American dimension to
this debate, it is worth reminding people that
Chile’s General Pinochet was attacked for
standing up to so-called journalists and other
radicals. Thanks to the general, Chile was saved
from such people and McDowell will also save
Ireland from its enemies within.
Yours sincerely
Ignatius Xavier Marmian,
Leeson Street, Dublin 2
