President of Ireland Michael D. Higgins goes off on a Tea Bagger

Words can not describe how amazing this is!

Wow. So, this is honestly just a straight 4 and a half minute, on the spot rant, the other guy gets in like 5 words, which only makes Higgins angrier. It’s is amazing!

So this is the issue. So therefore be proud to be a decent American, rather than be just a wanker whipping up fear.

Best. Summation. Ever. Wish I had a little more context though.

Speaking of Presidents, this has started doing the rounds.

I can’t find too much context for it, it appears it’s from an interview held by George Hook and also featuring Michael Graham, from December 2010. Past that I don’t know, but it’s amazing.

I wasn’t in Ireland for the election, and as we’ve discussed earlier I’m pretty shit at Irish history, so I don’t know too much about Higgins. But he seems like a reasonably decent guy. Also, I’m not sure if he’s actually doing more, or if it’s just a flurish of publicity as he’s new, or if it really is just male privilege, but he seems to be doing an awful lot more than either of the Marys.
