Election 2011- The Bizarre Bits

I also thought the beards coming down from Mount Olympus stroking their mighty beards telling everyone who to vote for was pretty ill advised.

If Jack O'Connor wants to make sure of a Fine Gael majority all he has to do is keep mumbling.

My favourite election poster so far is for Tom Higgins, an independent in Waterford. He's a doctor so his slogan is "Nothing heals like a job". Personally it reminds me of Les Dawson on Blankety Blank. "My wife went to the doctor to find a cure for my bad back. The doctor told her nothing heals like a BLANK job".

From the Irish Times Live Blog:

Fine Gael’s efforts to reach a younger audience via the internet are becoming embarrassing. First, the party launched its unspeakably lame "Twolicy", urging supporters to become eCanvassers on Twitter. This was quickly followed by the virtual Valentine Day’s greetings card stunt which backfired when it emerged users could anonymously send nasty messages under aliases. Now, Kenny’s online team has rolled out a 1980s scrolling platform game which allows users guide a graphic Kenny on quest for votes. Enda’s character shouts insults at those he passes, such as “tax that” to Joan Burton and “put that in one of your reports” to Micheál Martin. Please make them stop, for the love of God. http://www.finegael2011.com/game/
