In reply to the discussion: President of Ireland Michael D. Higgins goes off on tea-bagger... [View all]Brother Buzz
(36,416 posts)80. Yes and no. Wish I could find more of the backstory
and I may have been wrong about the details of my post:
Since 2005, Graham airs a weekly guest slot on the Monday edition of George Hook's drivetime show, The Right Hook on Ireland's Newstalk. Speaking from right-wing, US perspective, many of Graham's views are often controversial to the European audience, and so his weekly slot has proved popular with the show's regular listeners. In August 2009, Graham travelled to Dublin to present the show for three days while regular host George Hook was away.
Now I'm thinking Graham was subbing for Hook for a broadcast intended for Irish consumption, when Graham walked right into Higgins' punch .

Bush in retrospect, as in real time, was either dillusional or insanely deceptive. Sickening.
