It was the ECB wot done it: Dick Roche takes the Fianna Fail defence to the pages of the Wall Street Journal Europe.
IRA members seek US Medicaid assistance? Only in conservative prank video.
HSBC to pay $US63 million compensation to investors in light-touch regulated Irish investment fund linked to Bernie Madoff.
Saudi Arabia thinks Batt O’Keeffe is still Minister for Enterprise (as of 15:50, 20 April) not Richard Bruton.
“When I am on holiday, I am not foreign minister.” It’s not just Ireland where ministers have blind spots about their connections.
Meh. Don’t really get the problem here.
Yeah, this really does seem like making something out of nothing. It’s humour. Gentle ribbing. Journalists might even find it funny. I’m a journalist and I do.
It’s also a bit shit in terms of the kind of political culture this sort of rubbishy blog post creates. Political figures (and, to be fair, I hardly think Andrew Murphy counts as exactly a major one) would be increasingly afraid to have any sort of sense of humour if even a harmless joke like this is taken to mean some sort of slur against journalists.
It’s a joke – not a hilarious one, but not a harmful one either – either laugh or don’t laugh, but don’t pretend that it’s of any relevance or importance.
I agree with the comments above. It’s a one-time comment made on the most transient of all internet media. Get over yourself!
I found it quite a chuckle at my tea party with some old friends. i said to them listen here chaps listen to this joke and we all laughed.
is this blog trying to head towards politics.ie territory?
