Hero Myers.....

Dick Keane (October 8th.) describes Kevin Myers as a "hero". I am afraid I do not share Dick Keane's hero-worship of the said Mr. Myers.

Recently, commenting on the Tara/M3 controversy, he advised the powers that be to "unleash the JCBs". The issues involved in both of these controversies are more fundamental and complex than is reflected in the boot-boy tactics advocated by Kevin Myers.

He seems to have no problem attacking the powerless while, at the same time, he continuously bootlicks those in power. I see the same Kevin Myers, whom Dick Keane sees as a hero, as being a hypocritical bombast.
