Wow the D. really does stand for deadly

Joey The Gowl

Back in December 2010, right wing US talk radio host and Right Hook regular Micheal Graham shoutily engaged the current President Elect on matters international at Newstalk’s Galway studio..

''This is why we need Michael D in the Aras - be patient its a bit long but worth every second. As an aside, this might answer anybodies concern that he might be a wee bit "old" for the job.''

Found on Broadsheet.ie.

For those with no patience, he called him a wanker.

Gee Bag

Mickey Graham always seemed so mild mannered when he was in Boyzone.

PseudoFamous

I thought Danger was his middle name.

Saila

this might have been usefull before thursday, now not so much

CatFromHue

He got in a very heated debate on The Last Word show with some Jewish guy who was slating Mary Robinson. The Jewish guy was coming across as a bit of a psycho whereas Michael D was logical but got stuck in all the same.

So what am I saying.............Michael D hates Jews!

In reality he was surprisingly patient, poised and articulate.

I heard this when it was live and nearly crashed my car laughing.
MD is a legend in my eyes, put that prick Graham back in his box that day.

Is disagree, how can he be put in his box if he rocked the guy enough to curse him out. Did Graham curse him out? Nope...I thought less of Michael D since he couldn't debate the guy without just arguing the facts.

I don't agree with Graham on most things but his arguments tend to be articulated well and have some sort of creedence. Whether you agree with him or not the guy is entertaining, possibly more so when you don't agree with him. The O'reilly Factor in the States is the same. Entertainment

That Mickey D's a class act,

He served that eejit his medicine in spades

He will go down in history as Ireland's greatest President.

I formed the opinion that Graham was a wanker a long time ago, MDH got the oppurtuinity to tell him he was one.

Sometimes you just need to tell a wanker he is a wanker.

Dotrel

I never get tired of this clip

The magic happens at about 16 minutes in. Awesome.

I'd love to slap the taste out of Michael Graham's mouth.

Steady on there.... you might find yourself in court with statements of this sort!

BBDBB

an impressive orator who takes no ****

I approve:)

kowloon

I hope he causes a bit of trouble.

He really made bits of that american troll, Sean Gallagher would be like ok hummm..... Israel.... is that in Cavan? I wonder how much money can get from these guys in bribes to Fianna Fail.

Agreed. Gallagher just wasn't on the ball. The whole campaign seemed almost like a carbon copy of this skit.

Sean Gallagher = "full steam ahead" guy
McGuinness = The Bald Brummy

charlemont

That was brilliant, MDH is awesome.

Gallagher is a Yes Man so he would love Israel, Ireland would just be a lick ass country with SG as president.

Dodd

Fair play to President Higgins.

Being called a anti-semite on public radio as a politician is very wrong and one should have proof before saying something like that.
It should be possible to sue for slander but that will never happen.

Higgins called him a wanker.........I don't think there is a man that has a hand and can say I never did.

Gallagher would have supported Hitler if it meant some money for himself and Fianna Fail. His equals are the parasites that destroyed this country and most of the western world.

Graham is a Tea Partyite, nuff said. Even Republicans in America hate them.

Well as a main rival party for voters

Eve_Dublin

GhostInTheRuins

Agreed, he must have studied the Bill O' Reilly method of debate. Falls apart when dealing with a logical and articulate opponent.

Michael D is an idiot. He's a socialist, enough said. He should really wake up to reality. Michael Graham talks a lot of sense that Irish and European people should pay attention to.

Mr Benevolent

At least we got a proper president and the referendum asking us to give politicians carte blanche to run investigations into other politicians (i.e, legalised corruption) has been vetoed, and I'm glad.

He is remarkably quick on his feet. I'd be a complete mushmouth in that situation.

Minstrel27

Calling Michael Graham a wanker is being very kind.

Too true! Hookie only has that piece of slime on his show because he had to go all the way across the Atlantic to find a bigger eejit than himself. :):)
