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:

“D’ya think that was faked by RTÉ to make their ‘Big Freeze’ report more entertaining?” asked a friend and co-worker of mine, after a Dublin pedestrian was shown on the national broadcaster’s Six-One news programme falling on his arse on an icy footpath, walloping his head in the process.

“No, no I don’t,” I said… And I didn’t. (…primarily because he’d walloped his head in the process…) Still though… eh?

Play him off, Keyboard Cat!
