    At least she withdrew her campaign. If it was here in gombeenland, she'd probably keep plugging away - and get significant support.

    These anti-foreigner "politicians" mainly seem to have been dragged out of the pub.

    The dude at the end was like a father scolding a child.

    Ms Banister also made confused statements in the broadcast about Judaism,
    voicing her support for kosher foods for Jewish people.

    "Jews aren't under haram. They have their own religion which follows Jesus
    Christ," she said ....................

    This is genius.

    For added comedy, look at the video from 1.07 on.

    I watched Mick Wallace on Vincent Browne before the General Election, couldn't believe he got elected.

    Ms Banister had only been in politics for 48 hours at the time of the interview and made a short statement alongside Mr Savage on Saturday, but she was not allowed to answer any questions.

    She could have been in the Dail in no time with that track record :pac:

    Bit harst - I think it's more a case of summing up the way they swallow ideas without actually stopping to think whether they're true or not, which is a bit different.

    Everything I don't like is either woke or fascist - possibly both - pick one.

    She is cute though, so that would win votes.

    A friend of mine made his selection of who to vote for based in order of hotness. Im pretty sure this was the same election in which Mary Lou got elected. At the time she was vaguely attractive. She has let herself go though.

    Like a lot of cases like this, Im not annoyed that she didn't know the various things she didn't know, Im annoyed she didn't research any of the topics she is talking about before going on air, or at least know which areas she didn't know about.

    Isn't she the one who sang that "Friday" song?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 23,246 ✭✭✭✭Dyr


    It was the dublin meedja that set her up

    Turning every statement? Into a fúcking question? Drives me insane?

    :mad:

    There's one chick who got at 2 out of the 3 votes on my old place in D6 for the local elections just for being hot.

    And we wonder why we get a useless electorate.
