Brian Cowen – The Nakedness RTE were ashamed of

So a video of the news report on the naked paintings of Brian Cowen went missing off the RTE site. Damien helped preserve it in our national interest.

Update!

Is that PictureGate, we see? Suzy is watching the edits to the RTE.ie news article on the paintings. Interesting changes. Interesting bind the editors are in. Are the Fianna Fáil Powers That Be really that pissed about satirical paintings and their coverage? Surely, the smart thing would have been to ignore the whole thing. Nothing about the management of this is smart, though.
