    Joan Burton Meltdown On Vincent Browne

    How many of these threads are we going to have before the election??

    Sweet Jesus, this AWFUL woman is vile, vile, vile.

    Screaming at Joe Higgins.

    Somebody asks you a question you don't like?? Accuse them of being sexist.

    Have no policies?? Just scream and shout and moan and interrupt.

    Good God, my poor head.

    Didn't know what to make of Joan Burton before tonight , but what a gob****e!

    Totally made a mug of regarding Gilmore's statement on the late late.

    Heard her on morning Ireland this morning at 7am - might not be used to the long days??

    Actually hilarious stuff from Burton. Trending worldwide on Twitter no less! She's done herself and her party no favours, comes across as demented and screechy.

    She's your Finance Minister in-waiting. Brussels won't know what's hit it.

    One of the few occasions where the subject of an Après Match skit has gone further into the realm of parody than the comedians ever did.

    Fierce sound lad that fella.

    The tv3.ie feed died at 12.05 so I missed everything from the start of the YouTube clip onwards.
    I'll just have to watch it in the morning with a cuppa.

    The tweet bimbo comes on towards the end to inform everyone "Joan Burton" is trending worldwide on Twitter.

    Cue delight on the face of Joan.

    What a show, I think my favourite part was when she tried to explain that the recent row between Joe Higgins and Jose Manuel Barrosso in the European Parliment was for no other reason than the fact that Barrosso is an ex Maoist and Higgins is a "Trotskyite". David Lynchesque

    She's no intellectual heavyweight like Joan Burton, that's for sure!

    Seven minutes of hauranging (sp?? as it's my new word for the week!), lies and comedy gold here:

    I was hoping she'd be one of my local reps, met her loads of times and she's never come across as anything other than intelligent and decent. Can't understand this.

    Joe Higgins comes across well, he knew exactly how to get her going - got to remember she's going to be fighting for the last spot for the Dail.

    I'm beginning to despise this show, completely worthless in terms of national debate, Browne is trying to be Jerry Springer. Waste of time.

    How is he trying to be Jerry Springer? Because he demands straight answers to straight questions ? Burton got caught out last night, end of.

    I'm no fan of VB myself and don't watch too often but i'll try and watch now after what I saw last night. It's better than the FF propaganda machine anyway that masqarades as the national broadcaster - but thats covered elsewhere.

    There's no doubt that Browne is winding them up, but calling it Jerry Springer is a bit rich. They shouldn't allow themselves to be wound up. Put Gerry Adams on there and he'll put Browne in his place. Say what you like about him, but he'd put these idiots to shame when it comes to dealing with the media.

    If she's that flustered by VB, what's she going to be like in a meeting with the EU when they're trying to rape us with a 2% margin, plus "service charges", on their so-called "bailouts"? Those langers'd eat VB for supper.

    There seems to be a trend towards current affairs coverage descending into hysterical nonsense. I find the Frontline unmatchable because it's just utter crap so much of the time. VB can be highly entertaining, but can also allow things to descend into farce seemingly just for the hell of it and delights in winding people up over relatively minor points. I was watching this last night but turned it off because it was so crap.

    Sure the politicians should not rise to it, but it still sucks that potentially interesting debates end up in shouting nothingness.

    Not sure I agree about Gerry Adams by the way, he got taken to the cleaners in the leaders' debate at the last election.

    VB is trying to gain ratings, not engage in proper discussion. Last night was a prime example, he was deliberately winding up and there was real falseness in his behaviour. I don't believe I'm going to far in likening him to Jerry Springer, especially when you analyse his manner of playing the ringmaster. For sure he looks for answers, however there is a lack of sincerity and a pandering to the moronic in his method. I watched Frontline and found that PK at least tried to get answers, though he didn't rev matters up like VB to gain ratings. RTE has been guilty of going slack on FF, though they've done the same for all parties. I don't believe Gerry Adams would fair better on VB, he'd just let it wash over him. If I were Joe Higgins last night I'd be frustrated by it all as despite his coherency and strong points, he was overrun by Burton's histrionics and VB's gameplaying.

    Actually didn't watch it last night, but sounds like Brawn copied O'Rourke's Gilmore ambush, which was a non story then and she's somehow fallen for it hook, line and sinker. Will try and watch it this evening (no access to youtube here).

    I doubt she'll be Minister for Finance anyway, regardless of what happens. FG will have the numbers to demand it, if they want it. If it's an FG/Labour coalition, rather than a FG/ Others coalition.
    If you attack me with stupidity, I'll be forced to defend myself with sarcasm.

    Didn't see VB doing any winding last night - I thought he was quite exasperated by Burton by the time he had produced the Late Late show's manuscripts. All he was looking for was a straight answer from her, true it wound her up, but if she's going to get wound up every time someone looks for a straight answer its going to be a long campaign for her.

    Gerry Adams was on morning Ireland this morning, trying to shout down Leo Varadkar, Cathal MacCoille wasn't long putting him in his place.
