The Minister for Defence, Willie O'Dea, has said he did not intend to offend anyone by pointing a gun at a camera and smiling for the media while posing for photographs yesterday.I'd say this definitely qualifies for Xavier's "Idiots With Guns" series...

This nitwit looks like Captain Kangaroo ith a gun: a frightening thought in and of itself!
ReplyDelete*ahem* "WITH a gun" (oh, well...)
ReplyDeleteActually, the man who played Capt. K was a US Marine...although the rumor of his fighting alongside Lee Marvin at Iwo Jima is an urban legend...
ReplyDeleteYa one thing i noted about the critisim was that all parties save his own and coalition partners in the Irish parliment (the Dáil) critised him save Sinn Fein (party linked to IRA). Pity would have been a great usage of the pot calling the kettle black phase.
ReplyDeleteReally, Dave? Bob Keeshan was a Marine?
