Meet Brian Cowen!

Meet Brian Cowen. This dashing fellow is Ireland's new Prime Minister. The BBC has an excellent profile of the Taoiseach, who takes over for the scandal-ridden Bertie Ahern. Read about it here.

Update: For those interested in the scandal that forced Bertie Ahern to resign, you can read the details here courtesy of the Associated Press. At least its nice to know that corruption in government isn't a uniquely American phenomenon.
