Anoraks no more

The Gillette best dressed male politician award will soon be upon us. Previous winners, selected by the female members of the Oireachtas under the chairmanship of Minister Mary O'Rourke, include Senator John Dardis last year, Minister James McDaid and Deputies Dick Spring, Martin Cullen and Michael Creed. Reports have it that this year's winner is none other than the Taoiseach, Bertie Ahern. He's come a long way.
