I wish I was joking.

The name of the thread is TRUE facts - Michael Clarke said that, not Colreavy. Trust me, I was there, and paying close attention, as I will readily admit to having a vested interest so I was listening very carefully.

While I support high intellectual standards in politicians, not everyone who goes for the Dail necessarily has to be a barrister, solicitor or economist.

I quite agree, although I don't think I would use the fact that somebody is a barrister, solicitor or economist as my sole, or even my main, criterion for establishing their intellectual standing.

He missed the opportunity to say "All you need is Love".. So I think someone should deface all his vote for love posters saying "I would do anything for Love (but I won't do that)".
