    See the subtle irony as he laughs at his own jokes.

    it's amazing the way he can portray himself as being a card-carrying member of the labour party since he was 17! it's not that long ago since he appeared on the late late and spoke about supporting sinn fein and how wonderful their policies were etc and how he would support sinn fein!

    his interview was hilarious today. labour party bosses must have been cringing listening to him portraying himself as a michael o'leary type risk-taker!

    Dont know what all the fuss is about Isn't it better to have a professional comedian there then the 166 amatuer ones?
    Jokes are part of my folksy charm. . . . It's at the heart of my popularity.

    I never heard that one but I do seem to remember him saying he supported Fine Gael....hold on ...he's texting from the car park to say that "Brendan O'Carroll and Ben Dunne would sort out this country"

    I watched with glee, while your kings and queens, fought for ten decades for the gods they made.

    I'd say a lot of people might see political opportunity in the current situation. We could end up with a bunch of Independents which would be a bad thing in my view.

    But I'd be willing to listen to people if they formed a party with a coherent set of policies.

    For what it's worth a friend of mine worked with O'Carroll and spoke very highly of him as a person and an employer.

    The last thing Ireland needs is a slew of mickey mouse candidates like O'Carroll at the next GE. The current shower in the Dail are bad enough.

    I was introduced to the phrase ''carpet bagging '' by a P.ie poster yesterday . . . . Brendan has re enforced it !

    I'm sick of people thinking celebrates would make good polititions. . . dont get me wrong some of them would! . . . . . but it's lazy thinking.

    This could play with the Lazy voters.. the kind that SAY !

    Ben Dunne for minister for enterprise

    Michael O'Leary for health!

    totally **************************************** to think they would be the best candidates for such roles .. . I love when they're asked the LAZY interviewer question , , , , , would you ver want to get in politics your self ? ? ? ? You can see their EGO massively expand before some trite **************************************** ''i know it all answer''
    My nearest neighbor is 40,075.16 kilometers away
