Imagine
my shock when I got back to the house on Wednesday
evening, having attended my weekly ILIR meeting to
find that my Aunty Mags in Tipperary had left a message
that I was to read Patrick Hurley`s scurrilous composition
at your website.
Knowing Mr. Hurleys penchant to underwhelm and bore
his immediate parish, audience and reader, my mind
attempted to conjure the depths he had newly found.
Having completed a semi-perusal of his latest outburst,
I had to read it again, and can only conclude that
he has consigned all his functioning brain activity
to medical research.
For someone that has always been a bit of a thorny
wire, politically, he can do what he likes with whatever
loosely passed for a brain. That`s his own business.
His attack on Immigration reform may be seriously
misguided, and we`re all just going to have to try
harder to make the world align itself more with the
Hurley Model.
It`s probably acceptable to speak out against politicians
and figures in the public eye, but that hardly gives
anyone the right to engage in the gratuitious, condescending
manner that Hurley throws around like rice at an Oriental
wedding.
It probably will rankle with some Irish people that
an Irish person would break ranks, and launch some
"friendly fire", but that`s the nature of
the game. It hurts everyone at ILIR, however that
Mr. Hurley basically takes a few shots at people that
didn`t just pull themselves up by the bootstraps,
they pulled everyone else up too!
Taoiseach Ahern, Minister Ahern, Michael Woods, Niall
O Dowd and Ciaran Staunton have all stepped up to
the plate for the Irish undocumented. However, even
if they didn`t, it wouldn`t make them any bit less
likeable or honourable.
Hopefully, Mr. Hurley can rise above his present difficulties,
maybe he could even come to an ILIR meeting, we`re
all Irish people and forgive easily.
That`s if he can break himself away from Rep King`s
campaign,whose district has been reassessed by the
Cook Report as likely Republican, down from Solid
Republican.
