    I think that's what Leo was talking about when he said there were nutters in Fine Gael.
    The nutters in his party are doing him no favours 10 days before the election.

    She was a big supporter of the recent abortion Yes vote and FG had her upfront and centre at every chance. Media will quickly move on from this as she's on the 'right side'

    SO of course zer is the best candidate. Didn’t you know a vagina trumps a penis anytime in politics nowadays.

    I wonder if M(D)MA is what she was talking about when she said it should be banned....

    All aboard... the intelligence bus is leaving (opps she missed it)

    He's done well for himself if that's the case, graduated as a doctor, in a long term relationship and leader of his country.

    Oh great!! An issue at last!!!!

    Just what we need. Loads of righteous outrage!!!!! Let's not talk about housing, or climate change, or Brexit, or the economy or anything important that it might be useful to hear what potential legislators have to say or what their plans might be. Let's focus on some bimbo's malapropism. That's what it's all about!!!

    I think Catherine Noone is a prick. You don't? Fair enough. Agree to differ. End of story. Move on.

    We're all on the "spectrum" FFS. That's why it's called a spectrum. :rolleyes:

    "We" are not all on the spectrum.

    It's called a spectrum because of the range of issues varies from one person with autism to another. e.g. some are non-verbal, some aren't, some are hypersensitive to noise some are not, some are hypersensitive to light some are not.....

    No fan of Leo but that is a very snidey remark to make behind his back.

    I doubt he is too pleased

    Never thought I'd say this but FG have declined drastically since Kenny stood down as leader. They've gone from a dour - but steady - party to a running gag for headline writers.

    Ha ha, that is fúcking hillarious. I thought the N word was nutter until i saw the bit at the end saying she'd never use "the N word":D:D

    Been trying to think how can the n word be used out of context.

    "Which n***er took the last biscuit?"

    Frankie Boyle once had an outraged punter tell him there was no context in which using the word "N****r" was acceptable and Frankie pointed that the punter just used the word.

    This kind of Voldemort bull**** around words is ridiculous.

    When I read the article I thought she said nutter not the other n word!

    Bizarre choice that is unlikely to go unremarked on.

    What was the n word if not nutter :o:confused:

    So what if he is autistic, wouldn't it be great to show the world that a person on the spectrum can achieve a high position in government? I don't particularly care either way but autism is a cause close to my heart because of my kids and the ignorance displayed by Noone is astounding. She also had no right to disclose it if true.

    I think it's a first for me. A high profile TD saying her party leader is socially inept and lacks empathy!

    With friends like that...

    I'm not FG or a Leo fan but I feel he and his government have handled Brexit well.

    They've been satisfactory for me on most issues.

    Unfortunately housing and health have been problems since the foundation of the state.

    I always wonder why they can't implement a successful health system from another country even if it took 10 years.

    Will Leo get the sympathy votes now

    Is Aspergers the term more than Autism?

    Maybe she could double down and claim she suffers from tourette's?

    True, I suppose. His tendency to continually lie through his teeth every time he opens his mouth might be a form of OCD.

    Just to point out that the term Aspergers is no longer used. This is mainly because of its association with a German Nazi doctor.

    Her mam was a psychiatrist. Though that doesn't mean she knows anything about mental health. She should have to cop on not to be sharing her inner thoughts with journalists. I think she's naive, not malicious.

    Leo will be delighted with this. First ethnicity, then sexuality and now he can add autism to his portfolio. Truly a Taoiseach for 21st century Ireland!

    Yes, I'm sure she wouldn't want the public knowing what an utter gobsh1te she is.
