No, they're worse than that. They're a couple of lying hypocrites.

And yet more name calling! Its a mystery why you choose to listen so someone you consider to be a lying hypocrite.

I was actually listening to The Pat Kenny Show, not The Pat Rabbitte Show.

You might want to take a look at this clip. It effectively proves that Pat Rabbitte is a lying hypocrite. He can sue me if he wants to. I doubt he'll get very far though.

Proof that Gilmore is also a lying hypocrite. He can sue me as well if he likes but I doubt he'll get very far either.

Winston Churchill said he had lied many times on behalf of his country, and would continue to do so for as long as it was necessary.

It seems touching you are surprised on finding out others are hypocrites, and politicians are liars, and if you are really surprised that others are hypocrites and liars, then you have a lifetime of surprises ahead of you.

Get up the yard with your Winston Churchill.

Is Newstalk deliberately putting just "soft" topics on the podcasts and restricting what goes up there, or is the show like that in totality? I don't get a chance to listen to show live, this is what popped up in my podcatcher from today:

Science: Why do we sleep? (14:20)

At the same time my Today SOR feed updated, I got 8 podcasts, dealing with penalty points, the jobbridge scheme, banking, public accounts committee, etc.

I get that they want people to listen to the shows (and the ads that play on the show), but I've found myself going weeks between having a podcast from Kenny that strikes me as remotely interesting.

Bloody Bono, the economic expert, on the line from Davos. Everytime I heard 'Bono' on the radio I think it's just an impersonator.

Harry Angstrom · 24-01-2014 11:13am

Bono trying to drum up business for Ireland whilst at the same time using Dutch loopholes to avoid paying tax here. Complete and utter hypocrite.

Yes, i was tuned in and as soon as PK announced "Bono is on the line" I hit the off button. I dont know Bono, but have no wish to hear the views on world economics from an aging pop star. Next it will be Kylie Minogue on global Warming.

Only a fool would arrange his tax affairs to maximise the amount of tax he pays.

Is your argument that only those who arrange their tax affairs to maximise the amount of tax they pay can have any opinions about the world?

It's not hypocrisy to minimise ones tax affairs and preach to others, which seems to suggest you are not aware of the definition of hypocrisy.

In any case, the world is full of genuine hypocrisy, and as adults that is something we should come to terms with, rather than expressing schadenfreude every time we stumble across it.

Mr Pseudonym · 24-01-2014 11:54am

Bono does pay tax - he just minimises it.

I turned off the radio so didn't have to sit through it. Why PK thinks Bono, a fading pop star with a hunger for self promotion, has anything to tell us about world affairs or economics is a mystery.

Off to Spotify I went, I'll be back to radio in time for Joe to get the blood pressure up again for the afternoon.

Jeez Pat you need to get some new topics ... turned on this morning to listen to him about to introduce that well-known pugilist Richard "The Boy" Barrett talking about a library in Dun Laoghaire ... needless to say I "moved the dial"

constitutionus · 28-01-2014 10:53pm

Then ya missed a brilliant interview with that woman who won her court case in europe today.

best bit of kenny ive heard in an age.

Bits_n_Bobs · 29-01-2014 12:34pm

PK bigging up the property market, Newstalk desperate for a few ads from the auctioneers...truly crappy piece of radio,

Dún Laoighaire is beginning to become as synonymous with Pat's show as Clontarf is with Liveline or Cork on The Right Hook.

Article about Pat Kenny and Sean O'Rourke in today's Irish Times ahead of tomorrow's JNLR numbers

And it's Pat's Birthday today. He is going well for 66, you can't fault his enthusiasm or energy.

I wasn't listening that carefully but I didn't find this. They were warning about the high prices in Dublin for instance. Is any piece about house buying to be deemed "bigging up the property market"?

constitutionus · 29-01-2014 4:31pm

it DID seem a bit pimpy to me and it doesnt help that it'd help pats employer BIG TIME to see an upkick in property advertising.

but not as bad as some of the stuff ive heard on RTE recently. i guess everyones a bit sensitve on the subject considering the pure SHILLING that went on during the boom. the S/INDO are actually back at it again.

by way had a brain fart during the week, that interview i was on about was on jonothon healys segment right after pat.

LordSutch · 29-01-2014 6:06pm

I've always hated the way he proclaimes to be an expert on each and every topic. Bring in a guset on micro biology, osteopothy, brain surgery, moon rocks, or even the surface of Mars, and you can be sure Pat will keep interupting his expert guest (to give his analysis of the topic), usually just as the guest is about to say something fascinating, and then Pat takes over and carries on as if he himself is the expert on the topic, drives me bloody mad...

Michael Parkinson once said, the art of a true interviewer is to pose a well thought out question for the guest, and and let the him/her run with it (without interruption). Pat please take note.

I also wish Pat would stop declaring that his guests are 'In Studio'. Such a mind numblinly obvious term is just, well annoying at this stage, we know that you and the guest is in the Studio Pat, no need to keep telling us, lest we might think you're conducting the interview in the carpark, not.
