    Enda's Religious Knowledge...

    Enda Kenny's just been on the TV3 news announcing that today, Holy Thursday, is the day Pontius Pilate washed his hands off Jesus' fate.

    I think it's time he went back to school. Surely the texts record that the 'washing of the hands' took place on Good Friday.

    Next he'll be telling us that Diwali is a Muslim festival and Yom Kippur commemorates the birthday of the Buddha!

    Great. No one cares. Absolutely no one

    If this is the biggest fault a FF hack can find in Enda, roll on regime change!

    Bertie on the other hand probably still has is mascara-enhanced Ash Wednesday marks! And Mary Hannafin will organise a quick little prayer.

    Well, it's a cause for concern if the leader of a party (former teacher) doesn't know some general knowledge.

    So, evidently you don't support freedom of expression...

    Your welcome, and its not actually.
    When I go to the polling booth, I wont be asking myself "which candidate represents a partry whose leader has the best grasp of the timeline around Jesus' crucifixition?" in order to decide how to cast my vote.
    Will you?

    I'd be worried if I knew a candidate didn't know some basic facts.
