Last Word now with Drennan!!

UCC 98.3FM this afternoon at about 5:10pm.

They were doing a piece on gender quotas in political party candidate selection. She was arguing against it. They'd Marian Harkin (MEP) on arguing in favour.

It was a bit more in-depth than some of the previous bits of I've heard on the topic. I didn't actually realise that the legislation is due to pass pretty soon, seems it's gone through almost all stages of the Oireachtas.

It's not a bad station for a bit of analysis sometimes. Some decent documentaries too. I flick past occasionally.

I could have done without Murray playing out that interview with David Bowie's China Girl for O'Rourke.

Ihe image it placed in my head was just wrong wrong wrong.

That's John Murray "humour" for you ... He is about as suited to this job as a civil servant is to being a holiday rep.. RTE put him back on the business, he could do that properly but for god's sake, stop him trying to crack jokes..

Dirigent

On PK now. Praising that other empty windbag Dev Og.

Marian Finucane show now.

She's on Moncrieff now. WTF?

What next, a graveyard slot interview with Maxi? Helping out Larry Gogan with the just a minute quiz?


Is there any show she won't do?? Just because Mammy lost her seat and associated relevance does not mean she'll give up her media whore status...

No. Not one. None, she is indeed a media whore of the lowest order....even the godawful Twink would be hard put to match Mammies' efforts at this stage.

And if she didn't have such a good face for radio, I could imagine her "appearing" regularly on something like E3TV (is it?) or whatever version of Live at Three that may still be doing the rounds during the dead afternoons, volunteering to have herself covered in goo....just to show that she's such good 'craic'

This is just the calm before the storm - her book will be out in October.

Sweet jumpin' jeebus! We can only imagine the amount of plugging that's going to get. :mad:

Murray and the Maid will be outdoing one another fawning over Mammy upon publication....while, needless to say, Joe will have it up there when his annual "Buke of de Yee-ar" listeners' poll consumes an entire Lahhvlahhn on the Christmas run-in.


Can't f*kin wait :eek:

She was on Labour's Way on RTE1 an hour ago, and is on Vincent Browne (with Sam Smyth) now!

Shes like a political version of peter andre. Any airtime just to get her voice and face out there while contributing nothing but filling empty airtime

Probably will be filled with revisionism about the 'patriotism' of her late nephew.
