Frontline 12th Dec - Lucinda Creighton (in particular)

vicwatson

Is it my imagination or does she have a snigger on her face when she is "trying" to explain what's going on in Europe at the moment to us ordinary folk?

Almost like she is dying to burst out laughing.

Almost laughing like she couldn't give a toss:rolleyes:

Hate everything about her. Totally arrogant and a complete elitist.

I'm not a fan either but I feel it was more to do with youth than gender.

Seriously, she is only 31.

Rubbish scarehouse tactics from Crighton. Here is a person who is happy to let disabled people go without just so the likes of Bertie Ahern can have a gold plated pension. ****.

She's been well trained up for the role, I'll give Enda and the FG press office that muc.

Liz O'Donnell is dead.

Long live Lucinda Creighton!

(the new Queen of political pin-ups).

Again, I apologise. In terms of what she's actually saying, it's complete rubbish. "ALL of the eurozone countries are in crisis"? Not quite

constitutionus

its amazing .

she hasnt a breeze what she's talking about as nowts drawn up yet but she's already signed up to sell us out.

to think these numpties are negotiating on our behalf.


EDIT.

ah here we go, one of VinnyBs girls.

She got very thick with Vinny last week because she felt he wasn't giving her enough air time

There was definitely an element of that but Enda needed to appoint a few younger ministers too.

I see what you mean now. Definitely looked a couple of times like she was amused by the whole thing

hmmm

More moaning from Pat and some of his guests that all this was the fault of someone else. We have an Irish TV presenter on nearly 1 million a year telling the Germans that we've suffered enough austerity and they need to pay our debts.

Our self pity knows no bounds.

Sure why would'nt she be amused. She has a great paying job and a gold plated pension for when she retires at 45 like most other ministers. These guys don't give a hoot folks.

she does a weird thing with her eyes at inopertune moments too.

comes off as very "little girlish" .

leo does something similar in terms of his mannerisms , only he comes off as a smug prick when he does it

I've had a one-to-one encounter with luscious Lucinda (rawr) before. She was at a conference in Berlin last May to sell Ireland as a 'good European partner' with a 'brilliant human rights record' and history of 'standing up for small nations'. Oh, and apparently Ireland is neutral.

So, then, I got up and asked her what we're to make of it all when, as equality spokesperson, she said that she was against gay marriage. And the little matter of our participation in the EU CFSP, the collective security of the UN and membership of NATO Partnership for Peace.

He response went like this: 1.) Well ... I suppose other countries have different definitions of neutrality ... we don't like to tell them what to do (!) and 2.) Our government brought forward civil partnership* ... we can't have gay marriage under our constitution.

That's great, a qualified Barrister who hasn't even read Constitution or heard of Zappone v Revenue Commissioners; appeal ongoing to the Supreme Court :rolleyes:

*Cough, it was Fianna Fail and the Greens Lucinda.

If the euro didnt exist, farming in Ireland wouldnt exist. I think the D4 lady may not know too much about farming :eek:

Its a bit simplistic to say that you can automatically sell in a common currency zone given the extreme cost base disparities that currently exist. Surely if an IR£ devalued by 30-50% versus a DM it would be like shooting fish in a barrel to sell in Germany (assuming the Germans like jelly beans)?

I thought it was cringeworthy that the woman felt so under attack by Pat she had to "defend herself" by saying that she's been in Ireland for 17 years, has an Irish husband, Irish kids etc. Don't think she realised when she went to attend the programme that she'd be representing the German government

OT, re Lucinda - I don't know what it is about her, but I definitely would.

It was Liz who said that the washing machine was the greatest advance for women in the last 50 years ... because of the female orgasm, right?

Read it in the Irish Examiner around the time that the Vatican announced that the washing machine was the greatest invention in the last five decades ^_^

Someone should have called her out on that - it made no sense.

She gives off the impression of a brainwashed Cult member

The Euro is good
Europe is good
Merkozy is good
Before The Euro, we were all in rags etc

Ah, I'm sure Liz meant it tongue in cheek anyway

Good loser

Lucinda was by far the best contributor to the programme.

The German Ursula complimented her.

Fintan O Toole is an ass; now if we get a sniff of a chance to blackmail the EU let's go for it is his approach.

One of the reasons for her position, a FG TD once told me she was a ride and a fair few of them were of that opinion(not like she has much competition in the Dail). She strikes me as the sort that would play up to that and also not afraid to hang you at a moments notice to maintain her career. Every large office has a Lucinda.
