"McGuinness never had to come on Panorama and be interviewed by Paxman - like every other political leader"

Good cross-post WLD - great minds think alike (or fools never differ).

I think McGuinness was interviewed by Paxman once (but it might have been Jon Snow), and Paxman gave him a right drubbing. McGuinness was struggling to answer the usual accusations and came across as an inarticulate goon, but then I get the impression he never was the brains in the organisation.
