Tonight on VB Conor Lenihan lost it.
Easily the best TV I've seen since Arrested Development or the Peep Show wedding.
No videos on YouTube at the moment and the one that was there earlier was pulled almost straight away.
He started threatening Vinnie for "impugning his character". CLASSIC!
Found it...
It get's really good from 4mins in.

It wouldn't let me embed properly.
EASILY the bestest thing tv3 has ever produced. :D
Lenihan Minor roaring and screaming about absolutely nothing, Vincenzo chuckling to himself, Suzanne Boyle shuffling his papers.
GOLD I tells ya, solid gold!!
It was platinum. I can't sleep after it. It was a privilege to witness it.
wow. just wow.
he really resented it.
Hilarious. The indignation of the man. “Back off Vincent. Back off Vincent or I will take you head on”. Fair play to Brown he doesn't give any of them an easy ride. I'd love to see him have a go at Biffo.
that intro alone was top notch!!!
Saw this live. Had to check my temp to make sure I wasn't hallucinating
...."those in Ministerial Office, no matter how Junior...."
lol!

Apparently plans afoot for a FF splinter party, article by CL in today's Herald.
That would be flipping sweet. The only thing better than watching FF go down in flames would be to see two FFs go down in flames.
My ideal would be a massive cannon to shoot them all into Dublin Bay, one by one, with a big fence to prevent them swimming back again. Let someone else deal with them.
The ultimate stroke of NIMBYism.Quote:

did they not already try that with Independent FF, which never really got any further than Inishowen? well, until blaney jr. came back into the fold. would love to see the entire setup go the way of the PD's.
Jackie Healy Rae still styles himself as independent FF I think. And they were always more a Fanad peninsula thing than Inishowen :)
always wondered about that, because a lot of the people I've encountered in Inishowen always seem to lean more towards FG, well at least vocally. although anyone who puts cecelia keaveney(?) into any sort of public office or position of responsibility needs their head shrunk.Quote:

no not just you, i felt the same way, interviewer and him end up talking over each other, and everyone watching begins to feel stupider by the second, or at least embarrassed by the televisual behavior of the human race. i mean, people go into politics for the opportunity to further their careers?! naww, nae, never! for the junior minister to deny it so vehemently is almost as bad as the interviewer making such a big goalscoring point out of it.
Saw it live - Brawn at his very best. Talk about protesting just too much. Boyle was on the verge of losing it earlier too when getting hounded for a straight answer.
Meanwhile on Primetime, RTE wheel out a historian to have a go at FG/Labour for not having a joint programme for Government..
Usually don't watch Browne but watched it last night. He spent the first 10 minutes winding up Dan Boyle about what the Greens said to Cowen on Wednesday. Boyle didn't deal with it well.
Went to bed after that but heard Lenihan explosion on radio today.
IMHO Browne goes too far in his "shock jock" act, generating a lot more heat than light. We can watch McSavage if we want this **** taken out of politicians. I'd expect a bit more reasoned analysis from someone of Browne's sature.
There was one set up in 1985.Quote:

Felt more embarrassed for all concerned in this. He was deliberately winding up a man just to get him to blow, then the FF mode took over (take strongly, loudly and don't answer the question) meanwhile Browne had nothing else to say except get to the real reason Conor Lenihan was rolled out - to have a go at his brother who wouldn't bother with Browne. Poor spectacle and a little sad.
Dahamsta - you'd wan to roll out the cannon and fire a few of your locals (Martin the Rat etc) out into the Lee. Hang em high first though!
De Brudder doesn't bother with anyone. He consistently proves just how pathetic he is every time he's on radio or tv.Quote:
