Eilis O’Hanlon asks “Have we all gone utterly insane?”
This self-indulgent fiddling as Rome burns continued unabated all week, as the media first became consumed with a cascade of nonsense about whether Green Party TD Paul Gogarty should have brought his daughter into a press conference, and then manufactured a row over whether the Taoiseach had been sexist for asking the Labour leader to make his finance spokeswoman, Joan Burton, shut up.
Fine Gael’s website, at the same time, was castigating the Government for not spending more on sport, because clearly that was the pressing issue of the moment, while the National Women’s Council was demanding shrilly that parties “commit themselves to women’s equality… in advance of a general election”, as well as advertising for “an experienced and highly skilled researcher” to oversee the production of a Gender Mainstreaming Strategy for the Health Service Executive.
That is so Irish specifically and EU-bot generally.
This is the template the Democrats/LIBRANOs revere and seek to adopt…….
I can’t see how any of this is relevant with the big wedding on the horizon.
“This is our tragedy. In extraordinary times, we have been saddled with the most ordinary of leaders. As the historic task facing us got as enormous as it could possibly get, the men and woman tasked with surmounting it showed themselves up to be little people with little minds and little horizons.”
Not just in Ireland,sir, the whole world suffers from this affliction.
Good one,Indiana Homez!
Let’s have a sing-song …
“When Irish debts are climbin’
sure it’s like the month of May
and with every euro rendered
there’ll be twenty more to pay;”
“In Dublin’s fair city,
the outlook is shitty,
calling Berlin and Brussels
to ask for a loan;”
Like John Gormley’s new book title says “The Relentless Pursuit Of Mediocrity”. The fiddling while Rome burns is also a very apt description, but then what else can you expect from the Marxist socilaists.
Meanwhile, in California, that Lindsay Lohan of States, they truly are run by crazy people .
It’s called denial.
The first stage of grief.
It’s Britain … which is run by crazy and stupid people.
Object lesson in progress … watch and learn.
I’m just amused that they have a Fail Party:
