Begrudger Smack Down!

Bam! Pow! Zap! Begrudgers beware! Minister Micheál Martin is on your asses!

Reacting to the barrage of criticism against one of Ireland's foremost intellectuals, John O'Donoghue, Martin has defended his party colleague against over spending taxpayer money.

In an act of unmitigated bravery, Martin -- SURELY HE DESERVES SAINTHOOD FOR THIS! -- has waded in to the festering swamp of nay-sayers, begrudgers, back stabbers and hurlers on the ditch to warn against "losing the plot!"

I AGREE, MINISTER! Plot off you feckers!! O'Donoghue and his wife deserved that travel. So what if they took a few limo rides and rented a hat here and there. They are worth it. We need to reward our talent. That is why Ireland is a world-class country with an economy the envy of Europe. Cop on, people.

Leave John Alone!

One time, not too long ago, a very brave young man in the States made an impassioned plea for the media and begrudgers to lay off Britney Spears.



Our problem in Ireland is that we have no one with the balls willing to stand up for our beleagured leaders. Instead what we get is this: a hateful catalogue of purported "waste" or "abuse of privilege" on travel expenses by one of Ireland's intellectual giants, Ceann Comhairle John O'Donoghue. Or this kind of thing: mockery on the internet, doctored pictures of John with a big head acting the eejit. Or news articles "revealing" how much he spent.

I, for one, have had enough. LEAVE JOHN ALONE!
