I meant to post this on Sunday… Dundalk man Jim Corr’s appeared last weekend on RTÉ’s new Saturday Night Show (hosted by that appalling Cork man Brendan O’Connor). Crap name for a show? Maybe… but at least it’s not “The Brendan O’Connor Show”…

And yes… Jim’s still bonkers… and he’s still going on about the New World Order stuff that he ranted about on the Last Word almost two years ago ahead of the first Lisbon Treaty. He’s still in way out of his depth and still abusing his fame and celebrity to spread this stuff and (repeatedly) promote his activist shite peddling web site.

I mean SURE… he’s entitled to his opinion and he’s certainly entitled to express it if he wants to… (although I believe RTÉ gave him way too much airtime here and any other presenter would have pulled him up on a few points far better than O’Connor could) – but if you’re to believe him, you’d have to believe the following:

Swine flu was created deliberately by the World Health Organisation to reduce the burgeoning population and sell vaccines, global warming is a lie and just a scam to raise taxes, 9/11 was a US Government conspiracy where they bombed their own cities, killed their own people and blamed it on Islamic terrorists so they could go to war, full body scanners in airports will be taking pictures of your privates, storing them on a hard drive and emailing them to a location where they’ll be held on a central database and the devastating earthquake in Haiti which killed over 200,000 people may have been caused by an American tectonic weapon (he essentially agrees with Venezuelan leader Hugo Chavez here).

Mentaller.

Maybe it’s time for his hot sisters to give him something better to be doing and get the band back together…

Anyway… you can see more of this on the excellent RTÉ Player here for a limited time (scan ahead to about 50 mins in and watch from there until he’s thankfully interrupted by the usually horrendous Twink after 10 minutes).
