Fionnan Sheahan comparing Leo Varadkar’s radio appearance today to Ben Swain from The Thick of It

7 comments

1. Leo backed into a corner and tripping up over every word. That’s a car crash interview

2. Pretty good comparison. Can’t remember hearing Varadkar so lost for words before.

3. So basically journos are feeling jealous that the Brits get a fun scandal and are trying to turn the complete non-event that was some office workers having a glass of champagne to celebrate (at a time we were averaging about ten cases a day) into a comparable story.

   Pathetic stuff.

4. Fionnans a prick

   remember his vincent browne apparance

5. Same as with Merriongate, this is absolutely not a big deal, but the absolute inability of the government to respond to even the slightest questions over it is turning it into an actual story

6. Order a token “investigation” into the matter
   Sit back till it finds no wrong doing.

   See out the rest of your term as Taoiseach.

   Repeat.

7. Sorry I’m all for bashing Leo but I went to the effort of digging up this interview to listen to a good train wreck and he doesn’t seem lost for words once throughout, and answers everything fairly calmly. You lied to me op
