Posted on May 23, 2011 at 9:12pmIt reminds me of Hillary Clinton’s faking the accent ..”I don’t feeeels no waaaay tired”. It is just pandering and funny and embarrassing. Why can’t these tools get real and stop treating people like they are just too dumb to live.

Posted on May 24, 2011 at 7:53amWhat generation Irish are you? Do you ever visit Ireland? There were 100,000 people in College Green yesterday to welcome YOUR President and his BEAUTIFUL wife with all the enthusiasm and joy they could muster. The Irish,as you, above all the commenters on this site, should know, are a proud, friendly and welcoming nation, unlike you who seem to have lost or forgotten every sense of decency you were ever taught. I always thought that no matter what, the american people respected their president regardless of religion or colour, after reading your comments along with some of the others, I was obviously VERY wrong.

A New Yorker once visited Ireland and went to see the blarney stone and of course, kissed it for good luck. Later that night he went into one of the pubs and started drinking with the locals. Soon he asked, this town is so small and being from New York, the town that never sleeps, what do you guys do here for fun? One of the locals said, well, we work all day, tending to our sheep and the fields, on Sundays of course we go to church, at night we all like to come to this pub, play darts, sing and get sloppy drunk, and then we all go out and Pi$$ on the blarney stone.
