It's not easy being the Irish PM with no sense of humor

Hi Guys,
There has been a bit of a hullabaloo here in Ireland over the past few days about a couple of painting of our Taoiseach (Prime Minister), Brian Cowan. Here are the links,

It now appears that Brian or "the powers that be" via the Police Force are hunting down the unknown, well unsigned mostly, Artist.
I don't know what they intend to do with the guy after they 'interview' him. Maybe they will confiscate his brushes
If Brian Cowan had any sense he would look up the RTE's (National Broadcasting Authority) Archives and check out 'Hall's Pictorial Weekly" http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hall's_Pictorial_Weekly. This was a very popular TV skit on politicians in more repressive economic times, than we face now, through the 70s and into the early 80s. I think it actually assisted the Government of the times as it helped us to laugh at them rather than try to lynch them.
