    Does the concept of tongue in cheek register with you bud.

    You do know that this is not an encyclopaedia of untarnished Irish bloodline which will be used to restart humanity on Mars.

    And as for Martin Sheen. His Uncle from Tipperary fought in the War of Independence. In my book that makes him Irish. Did you fight in it? https://www.independent.ie/irish-news/hollywood-actor-martin-sheen-enormously-proud-of-uncles-ira-past-26817956.html

    And again as I said to the other archbishop of rules of a random thread, did you get mad when he got out of the cockadoodie car

    Martin Sheen the actor?
    The same Martin Sheen whose real name is Ramón Gerard Antonio Estévez.

    I don't think he is from Ireland lol

    So much. Allegedly cheating on his wife while she was dying of cancer is one. That was widely reported btw

    Widely reported. Can you show me one report? I love that word allegedly and then widely reported. It’s very strange that Heathers family never once had a bad word to say about him and how much he adored her.

    Paul Mc Grath was a God.

    Thought you said those heroes in the amazing hippy commune should be universally loved akin to John Hume in Fre Derry. Or was I mistaken.

    I have no idea what you are on about.

    John Hume is loved by me. But i am not naive enough to think he was beloved by everyone. There were attempts on his life.

    I don't get why Americans are obsessed with their irishness ...maybe a lack of sense of belonging and rejection by their community or lack of community and they are searching for it 'far away'

    They idolize ireland in a strange way.

    He's half irish would you stop...he's also half spanish ..and was raised in the US making him also an american.

    Yes 99% of Irish americans are not irish. If your parent ..maybe even a grandparent is /was irish ..i can get it.

    Don’t tell me you forget The Capitol Hill Autonomous Zone. You were going on like those amazing people should be universally loved and how they reminded you of the great John Hume.

    If he was born in a stable would you call him a horse? He was to born to an Irish Mother, therefore he is Irish.

    Half Irish ..he is also half spanish and has expressed regret about changing his name to erase that. You have to respect someone's entire heritage.

    Agreed. He's an excellent broadcaster and smart interviewer.

    There's a certain smoothness that the best broadcasters have and you're seeing it less and less these days. Kenny has always just had that comfortable style in the role.

    I don't really get why some dislike him, but he's certainly not bad at what he does.

    That's also why I mentioned Terry Wogan in this thread. He had the same smoothness.

    Was Wogan not universally loved?
