What's worse, a "drunk moron" like Cowan or a sober God fearing Christian like George Bush or Sarah Palin.????

 

[micmclo]

From the amount of ranting about George Bush I see on Irish forums and media, realy I suppose we're just getting it back

(not aimed at you Mpsox)

 

[thedaras]

Definitely, Palin and Bush..scary!

 

[VOR]

What have Bush and Palin got to do with this??? Why deflect like that?? They don't represent me or any one else in our nation (unless of course, you are an American citizen and if you are what would you be doing left in this place?). People need to wise up that we are fast becoming a laughing stock. We should not sneer at others for comfort.

The cancelled Coughlan trip was on CNN in the US yesterday morning. What message does that send to the world when our opposition would rather point score than allow the government do something constructive.

.. People need to wise up that we are fast becoming a laughing stock .. Coughlan trip .. allow the government do something constructive.

I think keeping the Tanaiste at home is the most constructive thing we can do. I wonder had the Taoiseach given her his 'alma mater' for this trip ?

Politicians are fair game for ridicule when they misbehave, e.g. Reagan, Clinton, GW Bush, Palin, Ron Blegojovich, Mark Sandford, Larry Craig. They're public figures.

...and of course Clinton's actions with that cigar were so dignified weren't they?

No such thing as bad publicity is the saying, we might get a boost in tourism out of this. He actually looked better than when he tries to look serious.

 

[ninsaga]

And here is is again.... so much for the credibility of our gubberment. Another embarrassing hufla resurfacing

 

[MrMan]

in fairness the heads of state of most top nations are slagged on a daily basis, we can get a bit carried away now if we think that the country has been damaged to by an alleged session on a school night.

To be fair though, your man Leno is as funny as acne.

I would have said arthritis, but, yes.

 

[Caveat]

Leno, people like him, and their schtick is precisely what I detest about American popular culture.

That awful, cringeworthy, showbiz smartassery is as ersatz and tacky as a €10 lapdance
