Oops, it's not quite as simple as that.

You use the forum to heap odium on the political scenario, just a straightforward attack .............

And you allow the post to go out with the wrong name.!!!

Posts like that have zero credibility and calling them out is neither petty or childish.

It encourages posters to be a little more careful and maybe will be taken seriously when they get their act together.

Whatever about missing an 'o' in a name being petty or childish , believing that Mr O' Donohoe , who barely retained his seat at the last election is a real contender for party leader or even Taoiseach is just simply foolish , dumb and naive , which of course your diversionary post is really about , and by the way who made you a moderator and I don't need to be 'encouraged ' to correct a post .

What right do a lot of well heeled Irish commentators have to question the democratic right of other sovereign nations.

Oh, the same right as you have to complain about them Peter and you do so at about the same frequency. So I do understand your annoyance, because I feel the same way about your compulsion to document on here every slight to Donald that you hear on the Irish airwaves.

I'm curious about that as well. Did he not explicitly say that he was NOT interested in the job?

Perhaps "someone" wants him in there as a vote splitter or just to muddy the waters .... or maybe it's just giving someone time to get their ducks in a row?

He promised the earth moon & stars, just like every politician everywhere, except Ireland of course.

That one with de tick dubelin accent , is she on because she has something of substance to say or as some kind of token to 'de wurrking' classes ?, the latter I think,I've no problem with an accent but if it's an accent spouting ignorance ,It's a different story.

Donald Trump can be our new pope :-)

But they were man

That's what "your betters " think.

Why do you think the brian Hayes of the world keep sneering at "populism" when democracy is all that is .

"the people" are a threat to him and his .

Many in politics think we should just Feck off once we elect them . If Brian Hayes is tellin me the banks are grand its time to buy a safe

It really annoys me that this is this underlying tone about all of these cosy discussions that the election of Trump and the vote for BREXIT were the WRONG things to do. Both of these were voted through democratically by the two nations. What right do a lot of well heeled Irish commentators have to question the democratic right of other sovereign nations.

They have every right to discuss and question it.
Just like the boneheads have every right to choose or reject it.
It's getting boring now, though.
It's done, it's over, just get on with it and drive off that cliff.

And how many things does Marion get wrong in her four hours of shows?? Even Callan was slagging her yesterday about the les affairs attitude that she has to the preparation of the show.

I'd say Finucane hates him. His impressions of her are less than complimentary.

Can any impression of her be complimentary?

Basically its just wheezing, hacking, coughing and some throat clearing.

Didn't bother much past the first five minutes this morning.

I presume the little bit of bother (as Pat Kenny would say) was kept firmly off the agenda.....

The Saturday version is rapidly becoming chaff in broadcasting terms.

Switched off when I heard Mia Farrow coming up.

Disfunctional attention seeker, in my opinion.

Marian's answer to new-tech...
"Ah, do we really want that?"

I'd say Finucane hates him. His impressions of her are less than complimentary.

This is cringe worthy. She's talking over him and actually asking the characters serious questions because Callan is that awful at impressions so she isn't picking up on them.

Have to laugh at Callan critizing state money being wasted on silly things when the national broadcaster pays him to perform his utter garabge.

Oh lord jaysus, she's worse than D'Arcy at this stage. Reads out the note that Callan gave to the researchers.

Who is this woman? Only came in on the middle of the interview

Mia Farrow.

Jesus that was awful with Best's old girlfriend. Marion rustling pages, obviously reading them and not listening. What's the point of having people on? Is in just to fill the spaces between when she makes inane comments?

Ffs, will you stop interrupting the woman, Marian.

And he'll be back in RTE for the pension shortly, same as f**king D'Arcy.
