Micheál Martin has ruled himself out of the race to become the next leader of Fianna Fáil.

He declared his support for Brian Cowen to replace Bertie Ahern as leader of the Fianna Fáil party while praising his former boss on RTE’s ‘Morning Ireland’.

Sorry Micheál ….. Bertie ruled you out of the position years ago when he moved you into the Health portfolio.

You were getting too popular as Minister for Education …. Education was on a high …. Bertie got worried ….. moved you to Health …. you made a mess of that portfolio. You’ve been on the periphery of power since.

There was a time when you’d have made a credible Taoiseach …. but thanks to Bertie’s games you’ve lost more than your hair as a result!

Lap up to Cowen ….. you’ll be alright then!
