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!

Thank God Cullen is Still With Us!
Martin Cullen, our dear Republic's heroic Minister for Tourism, could have died!
The minister, who is not incompetent, was travelling in an Air Corps helicopter this past weekend when a door fell off. Costing only €8,000 to bring him from Waterford to Kerry and on to Dublin, this trip has been criticised by some as wasteful. (More about it in today's Irish Independent.)
Begrudgers — and you know who you are — will say Cullen already has a State Mercedes and ties up two Gardaí as chauffeurs. These same begrudgers will probably redden with indignation as they point out that an Aer Aran aerfaer from Dublin to Kerry is less than €50. These begrudgers would probably go ballistic when they find out that their taxes are about to shoot up to pay for the economic mismanagment and corruption engineered by Cullen and his ilk.
I have just one thing to say to those same bitter, little people: 2002 & 2007. Where will you be in 2012?
