McDowell gone quite all of a sudden.

Michael McDowell
The silence is deafening.
After many months of listening to the almost daily attacks by McDowell on Sinn Fein the last few weeks has seen this almost stop. Granted the decision of the court in Columbia to dismiss the substantive charge against the Three Irish nationals have not helped the cause of the Shinner bashers. Still it has become eerily quite. Don’t get me wrong, I am not knocking it, I am just intrigued about what could have brought about the silence. Two weeks ago we where being compared to Geobals and the like, now its oh so quite. Could it be that the lads from down the country in the FF Cummains have relayed back to Mount Street their disquiet. Maybe they are afraid that they could loose the bit green at the edge’s vote, those who like a few oul’ bars of Sean South after a few pints. Whatever has happened the bold Mick would appear to have had the muzzle put on, however, it may be that he was up to eyes preparing for the thousands upon thousands of crusties set to come of the ferries from Fishgaurd on Saturday morning in order to destabilize the nation. Not that mayday has passed he will go back to his Shinner bashing at the expense of the GFA?
