First thought was: why does Vincent need her to just read tweets.
Immediately followed by: quiet, brain.

I think it's pretty obvious that she's there for the eye candy..

More Cassie.



Nom nom nom.

Probably a silly question, but is this shown live on tv3.ie, or after it's finished broadcasting? I usually watch it on the telly, but the laptop and duvet is not allowing me to leave my bed

haha.. get up ye lazy b*ll*x... Maybe you could ring Vincent and get them to call round to your bedroom..

Any idea who is on tonight? ... It has been absolutely pathetic the way Brian Cowan has had Tony Killeen and Noel Dempsey explaining his round of golf with Fitzpatrick... I dont think I can listen to another FFer defending him. I mean HE is the only one who can give his side of the story....

I know that stations have an obligation to have a representative from all the major parties, but this is not a policy issue... it's about Brian Cowan's life... And if HE himself is not prepared to show up and talk about it, they should refuse whatever FF patsy is offered to contribute to the show...

Two rats with nothing to lose either. :rolleyes:

I think it shows a huge lack of ambition for someone to aspire to being the president.. I like Michael D, but the country can no longer afford these much revered, idealistic intellectuals on the payroll... We need people of action, not champagne socialists..

Yeah that wasnt lost on me either... It's kind of odd though.. I would have thought that they would have been less likely to have put themselves forward to be the FF patsy, as they have NO reason to be loyal to Cowan or the party. Maybe the pension is tied in to party loyalty.. ?

telekon

Dunno why but whenever I see Michael D, I think of this dude from Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade...



I like Micheal D, but I can't help it. All very disturbingly random...

Dont they need supplementary legislation so they (dermot ahern and dempsey) can avoid an additional €1million euro charge on their pensions because they'll be over some threshold or another.

It was in the independent (yea, yea...sue me) last thurs or friday.

JonathanAnon

I think it should be written in to legislation that anybody who decides to proclaim themselves as a socialist should receive no more than the average industrial wage... (like the shinners)...

Michael D wants all children to have a musical instrument??? He's so out of touch with reality.. I think maybe not leaving them with a 20k bill on their heads would have been something better to fight for?

Niamh all done up tonight, she must be hitting Copper's..

Mr.Nice Guy

I like Michael D. I'd be fine with him as President. Anyone but Bertie.

George Hook's threat to run if bertie does would do more harm than good. It would severely split the vote and leave the solid core FF vote all to bertie.

I'd be divided myself between norris and micky D., hook would be tempting as well tbh...its only the presidency after all.

I'm generally a fan of Vincent and his little idyosyncracies and outbursts / rants but he pissed me off last night when he was complaining about the amount of coverage Michaela Harte was getting in comparison to the girl of the same age murdered in Limerick. 'Im sure she was a lovely girl but why should her death be more news worthy than the Waters girl'.................As Niamh Lyons attempted to explain the two incidents are in no way comparable . I would have gone further to say that the Michaela Harte Tragedy is just beyond comprehension in terms of cruel twists of fate.........An absolutely blameless girl with everything to live for, in what should have been the best few weeks of her life, being murdered completely randomly, just because of being in the wrong place at the wrong time, with absolute innocence. Vincent couldn't have been that affected by the media overkill of the subject given the fact he couldn't even pronounce the poor girls name correctly, choosing to call her 'Michelle-a' over and over.
Whilst the Limerick murder is indeed tragic, in my opinion its not comparable, under the theory that ' if you sleep with dogs you wake up with fleas'.

Well said. I would think it was merely a case of Vincent playing devil's advocate though. He's been a journalist for 40 years, some of that as an editor for the tribune and a couple of magazines. Of course he knows the reasoning behind it...

So should all capitalists only be given a few weeks dole and then left fend for themselves should they lose their job?

(I'm talking those who work in banks with a capitalist agenda, not self-employed plumbers/sparks etc who are indeed entitled to nothing should their business go wallop).

Wow what a prejudicial opinion, unless you know the people that died, but even then it's still a fairly offensive statement. A life is a life.

VB was making the point that in many instances, the media concentrate on some deaths/murders more than others. The Eamon Lillis murder trial for example gained massive exposure, whilst many other murder trials recevied minor attention in comparison.

In what way is my opinion offensive exactly ?

The media give the public what they know they want to hear/ see and to take your example, the shocking murder of a wealthly businesswoman at the hands of her cheating husband will sell more copies than headlines regarding a commoner garden druggie who beats to death his prostitute girlfriend in a squat somewhere. Thats life !

Unless you've been living in a bubble for the past few days i don't need to tell you what kind of character Michaela Harte was. Likewise all reporting of the Limerick case, referred to , heroin, criminal convictions, recent release from prison, and though not all related specifically to the young woman who died, she certainly hasn't been referred to in the same terms as anthony campbell, donna cleary, the geoghgan guy.......so draw your own conclusions !

Personally and thankfully, i don't move in circles where there is a possibility the recently released heroin addict i'm currently sleeping with may be shot dead beside me and i might innocently get caught in the cross fire ! who'd have thought that was a possibility like !!!!! Shocking !

I do however have a sister and niece and friends who have and will go on their honeymoon with the full expectation of coming home at the end of the two weeks and living their lives and contributing to life as they always have done !
