Please let it stop NOW. I thought Garth’s original statement was cringe-inducing but last night took the biscuit for paddy whackery.
Garth is not alone in the rogues’ gallery. There have been some stellar performances from those closer to home. So here are my final words on the damn thing (we live in hope).
Timmy Dooley
This was a close call as some national politicians were playing a blinder in trying to give the people what they wanted. We could have had Gerry singing If Tomorrow Never Comes [http://www.newstalk.ie/Listen:-Gerry-Adams-sings-his-favourite-Garth-Brooks-song] but Timmy and the soldiers of destiny thought they could save the day with emergency legislation.
That was a great example of new politics, wasn’t it Timmy? We tried to figure out what was Timmy up to and then we saw this:
Christy Burke
Yee-haw. This is why the plain people of Ireland voted Independent in their droves. For decisive leadership. For Christy. Everytime he did an interview you wanted to cry with emotion. What a star. I’m not sure which of his interventions were more spectacular. His appeal to Barack Obama was the epitome of a patriot’s love of country.
However, the way he announced that the injunction by that poor man who was promised a suit and some cash if he just made that objection was pure class.
The man’s performance this week will ensure his mayorship will be fun, fun, fun. No wonder Paul Gogarty tweeted that if we had just listened to him about directly elected mayors all those years ago, none of this would have happened.
Yes, Paul. Maybe Garth could support him at his next gig.
Garth Brooks
No Garth, you are not Elvis. The whole ‘this will be just like the ‘68 comeback special’ was narcissism beyond belief. That and your god complex. Treating everybody equally sounds so cosy but give me a break. You may have a point about matinees as you could well keel over but hey, you told us you’d loose weight...
Even with my dodgy wifi, I could feel the cringe from everything he said. Flogging a dead horse and we fell for it.
The only relatively good thing was that Enda kept his mouth shut. There were a few cracks but he actually kept his trap shut. Maybe he had other things on his mind.
Ireland, I Love Y’all.
