Gopherit December 11, 2009 at 5:03 pm: Irish governance is an oxymoron.
ShiningMathPath December 11, 2009 at 5:07 pm: Fock you!

sorry — that got my Irish up
Obamaton December 11, 2009 at 5:10 pm: I am now properly reminded of why God invented whiskey.
ShiningMathPath December 11, 2009 at 5:11 pm: Fock you, too!
progressiveinga December 11, 2009 at 5:12 pm: The Irish Joe Pesci.
bago December 11, 2009 at 5:13 pm: And to think he was accused of being feckless the week prior.
Suds McKenzie December 11, 2009 at 5:16 pm: Drink?
pampl December 11, 2009 at 5:18 pm: Fook you Deputy Stagg, and stay the fook away from me lucky charms
Extemporanus December 11, 2009 at 5:21 pm: I focking love the way Blarney Frank says “That is most unparliamentary language, you poncy leprecunt.”
Grendel'sMom December 11, 2009 at 5:21 pm: The Democrats need a few guys like this. Fock yeah!
Extemporanus December 11, 2009 at 5:29 pm: Rather Yeatsian YouTube title, I might add.
SayItWithWookies December 11, 2009 at 5:31 pm: And speaking of fucking and the Irish, fuck those Irish child-abusing nuns, too.
As far as the video goes, I’d root for the guy who was cursing, but I had no idea what he was saying and there weren’t subtitles.
desertwind December 11, 2009 at 5:31 pm: Where’s ever’body else?
S.Luggo December 11, 2009 at 5:33 pm: In other news,
Republican insiders wish that Bachmann/Palin would shut the fook-up:

Sharkey December 11, 2009 at 5:38 pm: Someone’s got their leprechauns in a wad today.
Sharkey December 11, 2009 at 5:42 pm: [re=476950]S.Luggo[/re]: I’m not sure we can trust that poll too much, e.g.
1. No one 16%
2. Michele Bachmann 11%
2. Glenn Beck 11%
2. Steve King 11%
2. Sarah Palin 11%
2. Tom Price 11%

It’s a sad day when a computer cannot even count to three (3).
Jim89048 December 11, 2009 at 5:46 pm: The US and Great Britain, seperated by a common language…

Lionel Hutz Esq. December 11, 2009 at 5:52 pm: Every day I thank God that I live in a democracy where “Fuck You” is only used by Republicans deciding which page they are going home with.
davesnothere December 11, 2009 at 5:53 pm: Why does the Dail have 239 members? Because one more would be too farty.
wheelie December 11, 2009 at 5:55 pm: I am so proud of this guy. If you’re going to lose your shit in a parliament, do it properly. I also love how he apologises immediately, because he knows he has to. This is a good way of abusing procedure: “The colleague on my right is a prick and an asshole. I withdraw that remark and apologise. He is also a shithead and a wanker. I also apologise and withdraw that too. He’s a cunt and a tosser . . .”

[re=476958]Jim89048[/re]: Get a map, moran!

sadderbutnowiser December 11, 2009 at 5:57 pm: He seems like a weird mix between a depressed Stuart Smalley and an outraged Mr. Smith (Jimmy Stewart). This could never happen in America — we don’t have anyone in Congress willing to sacrifice so much as a crap-encrusted corn kernel for “principle,” much less their seat at the trough of (graft-getting) power.
SayItWithWookies December 11, 2009 at 6:04 pm: [re=476960]doloras[/re]: ‘Cause in America we speak Freedom English, not that Socialist English all them other folks speak. Also ’cause I they’re speaking over each other and I had the volume turned low. Because of socialism.
Sharkey December 11, 2009 at 6:05 pm: At first I thought it was Simon Cowell.
Dashboard_Buddha December 11, 2009 at 6:08 pm: “Fuck” is a profanity in Ireland?
Gopherit December 11, 2009 at 6:10 pm: [re=476965]wheelie[/re]: I think it’s great, too, but I wonder how much is catholic influenced……it was like he was waiting for a Nun to hit him with a stick.
shadowMark December 11, 2009 at 6:25 pm: [re=476960]doloras[/re]: It’s very sweet of you to say we understand our own English here, but, really, have you ever heard Sarah Palin speak?
bago December 11, 2009 at 6:28 pm: It’s like the Boondock Saints have taught me nothing.
MGBYG December 11, 2009 at 6:30 pm: And they said the Irish had none of the Ghays…

What? Iran? Fooking starrrtz wid a fookin’ Eye dunnit?
Jim89048 December 11, 2009 at 6:31 pm: [re=476967]iwillsavethispatient[/re]: We still own Northern Ireland though, don’t we?
Lascauxcaveman December 11, 2009 at 6:36 pm: I once asked a Scots-Irish friend of mine why some of his fellows said “fook,” some said “fock,” and still others “feck.”

His answer was, that believe it or not, that small country of the UK has many regional dialects. Sort of like in the states, where a Southerner, for example would say “y’all,” a Jerseyite would say, “youse” and a Brooklynite would say “asshole.”
MGBYG December 11, 2009 at 6:39 pm: [re=476967]iwillsavethispatient[/re]: aw hell, the gaelic have a fookin language while the english merely speak simplified german sweetened with some hindi…
Extemporanus December 11, 2009 at 6:44 pm: Here’s a FOCKIN’ ANIMATED GIF for you FOCKIN’ GITS!

Unfortunately(?), YouTard wouldn’t let me freeze the video where I wanted to, so it kinda looks like he’s beatboxing.

“Those are most unparliamentary fart noises! Most unparliamentary!”
Extemporanus December 11, 2009 at 6:55 pm: [re=476991]Lascauxcaveman[/re]: I tend to associate “fock” with the Irish, “fook” with the Scots, “feck” with the Welsh, and “fawk” with the English.

I guess that makes me a racist.
iwillsavethispatient December 11, 2009 at 7:00 pm: [re=476992]MGBYG[/re]: I believe the correct term for “german sweetened with some hindi” is “Vorsprung durch Technik”.

[re=476989]Jim89048[/re]: You could tell that the video wasn’t of the Northern Irish Assembly, because there wasn’t a loud man shouting “NO!”.
Extemporanus December 11, 2009 at 7:05 pm: NI!
iwillsavethispatient December 11, 2009 at 7:06 pm: Is this guy the member of parliament for Craggy Island?
MGBYG December 11, 2009 at 7:15 pm: [re=476998]iwillsavethispatient[/re]: and here I was only thinking of a sandal-wearing maiden shampooing her ginger curls…
pampl December 11, 2009 at 7:24 pm: [re=476993]Extemporanus[/re]: look at his arm, he’s clearly jerkin’ it
wheelie December 11, 2009 at 7:27 pm: [re=476964]davesnothere[/re]: Judging by that video, my parliament has a total of 3 members – Deputy O’Ffensive, Deputy Smugg and Chairman McRedneck.

Oh and fun fact: when yesterday’s annual budget was unveiled in Ireland, the Finance Minister announced that he was lowering the taxes on booze in order to stimulate the economy.

I suspect the rest of the chamber was off in a nearby pub, celebrating the exciting new stimulus measure.

Sláinte!
BlueStateLibtard December 11, 2009 at 7:28 pm: [re=476958]Jim89048[/re]: There’s another country in there between the U.S. and the Britain. Damn me, now you’ve got my Irish up, and up going to have to either drink myself senseless or bomb the local Fish n’ Chips.

As for this Irish MP, he’s merely a merger morsel of wacky-ness that draws us dirty furriners to teh Wonkett so’z we can FEAST of the Mountain of Madness that is the US Government…

Pherge December 11, 2009 at 8:18 pm: Just to add some context, pottymouth is a Green Party deputy. The Green Party are more or less hippy commie maniacs, by US standards. However, pottymouth is defending a recent budget that cut benefits for the old, sick, poor and disabled. He’s in government. Deputey Stagg is a stalwart Socialist. He’s in opposition. The right-left split is not clear-cut in Ireland. I quite like Stagg (he’s my local TD), but even I was disappointed he didn’t say “cunt” too, just to fuck with people’s heads.
Extemporanus December 11, 2009 at 8:29 pm: [re=477010]Bearbloke[/re]: May the trail Hobo’s hiking be a healthy one, and may you not sunburn your ballz.

And I said, I don’t care if they lay me off either, because I told, I told Bill that if they move my desk one more time, then, then I’m, I’m quitting, I’m going to quit.

He comes from a Land Down Under, is named after a type of steak, and has a koala bear tattooed on his taint (I’m assuming).

He informed me that “fick” would be a slightly more accurate interpretation of the Australian speech impediment. It would also neatly make use of the last available [re=476996]vowel[/re].

I apologize for my “fucking” error.

Aurelio December 11, 2009 at 9:13 pm: [re=477010]Bearbloke[/re]: [re=477026]Extemporanus[/re]: [re=477016]Extemporanus[/re]: There is also the Battlestar Galactica use of “frak,” a minced oath that functions as a substitute for “fuck” in several different forms, as an interjection (“Frak!”), inquisitive idiom (“What the frak?”), verb (“You’re not still frakking Dualla are you?”), adjective (“You frakking crazy idiot!”), a noun (“You miserable frak”) or in compound words (“What a clusterfrak.”) or in hortatory expressions such as “Down with King Willy and up with the frakking Pope!”
Sharkey December 11, 2009 at 9:35 pm: Fark you all.

I sometimes wonder what happened to KevO’Tron, AngryBlakGuy, and NoWireHangers. And even that thing that had “Wolf” in its handle and got banned.

But a) life goes on and b) maybe they just changed their handles.

Paul Tardy December 11, 2009 at 10:17 pm: How come those dumb fucks are still cursing in English? They’ve had their own crap country for nearly 100 years and they can’t even curse in Gaelic let alone speak it.

And why does it look like there are only 3 or 4 Teachta Dálas in the Oireachtas that day? Lazy craps don’t even want to show up for work.

Great trip…
Words December 12, 2009 at 6:40 pm: [re=477142]ShiningMathPath[/re]: a mere exaggeration in the heat of the moment, sir. Dun Angus dates back over 4 thousand years.. The Irish language predates Latin. The Irish women voted in their clan meetings and were chieftains and high priestesses while the European men were running around clubbing their female mates and dragging them back to said cave. The only problem the Irish had was themselves—they couldn’t combine their clans w/o squabbling to form a proper army and so weakened their defenses against the enemy: first the Norsemen, and then the English. As Pogo said: We have met the enemy, and he are us.

gurukalehuru December 13, 2009 at 2:19 am: Of course there is such a thing as Scots-Irish. I, myself, am of Scots-Irish ancestry on my father’s side. You may resent it, the inequities of history and Cromwell not getting nearly the condemnation he deserves and all that, but after a millenium of bulls jumping the proverbial fence, I think your later comment of having met the enemy and him being us is more to the point than you would like to admit.
FlipOffResearch December 13, 2009 at 3:18 am: Hello, just back from the bar. Highlights: Obama is from Kenya – a muslim communist plant, but when pressed for details my source got all vein necky and yelly. So I didn’t exactly get the details on how he was born in Kenya yet had two birth anouncements in Hawwian papers plus one birth certificate (which I gave him a copy of last week, which he threw away). Then the fun continued when the bar owner started playing the victim card in regards to the H1N1 flu virus inoculation. “Yes they give the people in prison inoculations — but more to protect the guards”. Which. of course led to serious responses of: “why do you hate America so much?” Fuck! I’ve had it.
ShiningMathPath December 13, 2009 at 4:03 am: [re=477148]Words[/re]: [re=477175]gurukalehuru[/re]: quote that is plausibly from Brendan Behan:

“The great thing I have discovered about Orangemen is that they have feelings.”
Neilist December 13, 2009 at 4:11 pm: I just had another thought (hard as that is for you to believe):

You can mock the Irish all you want. But in the basement of the Four Courts Building in Dublin (the equivalent of our Supreme Court building), there was/is a full blown bar.

Usually peopled with a smattering of half-in-the-bag barristers, solicitors, and judges.

Makes more sense than our “system,” if you ask me.

[re=477180]ShiningMathPath[/re]: The better Behan quote is: “Everyone else has a religion. The Jews and the Irish have a psychosis.”

Slante!
Cranky Old Batt December 13, 2009 at 7:09 pm: Holy crap what a girly man. Sure would like to see a throw down between this twat and the governator.

sezme December 13, 2009 at 11:43 pm: [re=477151]Words[/re]: I’ve enjoyed this thread tremendously. But I can’t let this pass, since you seem so hellbent on quoting Pogo accurately: What he said was “Yep, son, we have met the enemy and he is us.”
