Least Favourite TD

I'm sure the Conor's and Macy's of this world have an opinion. What about the rest of you?

For me it's between:

Willie O'Dea - The man who puts the 'moo' in cowboy! Makes a lot off noise on a local level but about as much use as a silent alarm clock in the Dáil. Gets voted in by the proverbial country mile every election here and does nothing! :confused:

Charlie McCreevy - All the charisma of John Bruton after a night on the tiles...

Mary Harney - Makes Maggie Thatcher look like Nathalie Portman.

Most of FG - Boring. Boring. Boring.

Over to the floor.

:D

Tom Parlon, a complete mercenary. He wants grants for farmers but joins the most market economy, free enterprise, right wing party. :confused:

Anybody from Sinn Fein. Hypocrital Populist scum.

Any of the Sinner's for their great contributions to Nice debate. Ahh they actually do deserve some credit for not laughing when they said their party was committed to Irish Neutrality.

Also Enda Who for his non-existant oratition skills.

Jackie Healy-Rae is another looper, my Aunt lives in Germany and during reports on the last Dáil election they showed him all the time talking so elequently, who ever said they dont have a sense of humour

Best TD I would say would be Eammon O Cúiv.

Obviously I Totally disagree with that, and the reasons seem so bazarre from a member of a party that is all image no substance.... *shakes head in disbelief that it's all about to kick off again*

Actually that bit of radio increased my respect for Rabbitte, but excellent piece of radio no arguements...

My List anyway....

Harney - Maggie Thatcher in Disguise

McCreevy - Maggie Thatcher after a sex change

McDowell - Makes Maggie Thatcher look like a pinko lefty

Bertie - Has he ever answered a question on anything other than Manchester United? Will he ever take responsibility for the current mess the country is in?

Peter Kelly - waiting for the big law and order speech (when his offy was the biggest supplier of the knacker drinkers in Longford)

John Bruton - For continuing to undermine the FG leadership - not necessarily a bad thing, of it wasn't for the fact that it is helping to destroy the prospects of an effective opposition (Labour won't get the numbers themselves, and there isn't the numbers (yet) for the dream ticket left wing coalition)

Tom Parlon - no political ideology, as showed when he was touting his candidature around at least 3 parties before the election.

Willie O'Dea - Populist gobsh!te

CJH - Gone but not forgotten or forgiven

Ruairi Quinn - for trying to push the Irish Labour Party down the English "New" Labour path...

I'm not sure if the criteria for least favourite is personality, opinions, actions etc...

Yeah Willie O'Dea would have to be up there for enforcing Limerick stereotypes nationally.

I don't agree with McGreedy much but can see he does at least have some convictions he sticks to even when everyone disagrees with him.

Joined the right party then didn't he.

Prize from worst attempted re-election would probabl;y go to ther Donegal independent who got elected on tv defelector issue, barely opened his mouth in 5 years in the Dail (if not worst performer, at least in the bottom 3) & then attempted re-election & seeemd had trouble even getting family members to vote for him :rolleyes:

Best TD has to be Olwyn Enright from Offaly :D

I'd be more of a Liz O'Donnell fan meself! :)

They repeated it on the Eamo's last Last Word - or some of it anyway (as it was on for over an hour originally if memory serves me correctly and only ended as it got to 7!)

Can't believe nobody's mentioned Brian "Anyone who votes against Nice is a pinko, weirdo, loony, leftie" Cowan. The arrogance of that man beggars belief.
Harney too for her Julie Andrews act.

Agree about Liz O'Donnell though.

The Rollcall of Shame:

The PD's: The insult has not yet been invented which adaquately describes them.

N. O'Flynn: An ignorant chancer with absolutely nothing to contribute.

Harney: An intellectually bereft spoofer, who is so far up her own arse she sees the world throught her throat and thinks she has a clear view.

McCreevy: A second rate accountant who totally believes his own ego and his band of mewling sycophants.

McDowell: A one-time brain wasted by self-righteousness.

Healy-Rae: Proof that parts of Ireland still live in hope of Daniel O'Connells return.

Mary O'Rourke: Proof that parts of the midlands still act out their "Eat the Peach" fantasies.

Ruiari Quinn: For doing nothing when he should have.

Nobody, however, beats the most vacant, vacillating, mumbling, shallow, lying politican ever in this country. Believes in nothing, says nothing, does nothing, sees nothing, hears nothing.

Mr Aboslutely Nothing: B. Ahern.

Didn't want to suggest him myself as bit too obvious a choice.

If we are including ex-TDs, then no list can be complete without the greatest lying gombeen snivelling anti-semitic rat of them all, Mr. Oliver Flanagan Snr. In a country that has a remarkable roll call of objectionable TDs (yes, many of them were in FF) this fellow surely stands head and shoulders above the rest.

Yeah, forgot that she got the boot..;)
But, I agree with you, Ollie J would certainly equal anyone down there in the mire..
