[MrSidewinder101]

[killbotone]

[rayoballyer]

faces of the panel are priceless

[rayoballyer]

Vincent Browne....fucking brilliant 

[rayoballyer]

Vincent Browne....fucking brilliant

[joesoap81]

She looks like she should be advertising fuckin Kerry Gold butter not runnin for Government.

[mynameismaurice]

Vinnie Browne: Utter legend

[adrianscally]

She's laying on the cailín deas thing a lot. Does she think it's the Rose of Tralee? She probably danced out of the studio afterwards.

[musicalglenn69]

Vincent fairly blew that vacous bitch outta the water

[Tonyo1221]

She is all that is wrong with Politics in this country. Fortunately she didnt get elected to the Senate. Parasyte.

[ManRealThe]

Dumb Bitch!



[grahamg13]

she says "It was a very important moment in the us history" @3.58

[criodain77]

she is some cocky bint....

[gadiac89]

Genius!

[zzzmemphis05]

"stand up to the plate...what plate?"...excellent Vincent!

[Castleinthesky007]

Hi Regina, can I see your vagina?

[owenbf]

I wish we had journalists like this in the US. The best we have is Jon Stewart and Stephen Colbert.

[TheRevolutionYeah]

@owenbf Bill Moyers and Seymour Hersh are great journalists.

[boscoesarmy]

" It's not a Regina O'Connor seat, it would be seat surrounded by stake holders, people like Dennis O'Brien " Is this lass for real or was it part of the Mario skit ?

[fuckweed]

Politicians - all talk, no action

[mphello]

If you're in the EU: VOTE ANIMALS COUNT PARTY!

If you're in the USA: VOTE DR JILL STEIN!!

(Wish Ralph Nader, Stacy Herbert, Max Keiser, Dr Peter Singer, or Toyama Koichi were running for President. Koichi is not a USA citizen, unfortunately.)

[bbbibber]

omg that's an interview !!

[aliconnolly]

3:55 "very important moment in U.S history" ..... U.S. history???!!!! Does she not realise she's meant to be talking about Ireland?

[Kenmorfdublin]

@aliconnolly I missed that - well spotted.

[otaku8489]

Vincent is etraordinarily sharp witted.

[youralmostthere]

"Regina O'Connor - Advisor EU Parliament"

Now You know why the EU Parliament is so effed up. With 'advisors' like this, who would need enemies?

[Murph4711]

She is utterly shit. Typical FFer. No shame.

[soar1111]

id say she shits seamen that one...

[PerAquamEtIgnem]

Can you think of a more astounding cliche than that? Ha ha ha ha!

[patswayzememorial]

Does anyone remember that campaign guy from Chatterbox in GTA 3?

[briancrowe100]

Clueless, What a dimwit, the more she opens her big gob the more she hangs herself, did she dye her hair from Blonde. ?

[TheReallitycheck]

Cliches and memorized goverment propaganda. STUPID CUNT.

[mphello]

Seriously, yes - I agree - this woman has nothing of value to say - but, if you're going to have her on your show, why the FUCK don't you allow her to SPEAK, rather than constantly talk over her? Is this Vincent Browne's style? (I've seen a few other videos of him.)

And, why not give her credit for running as an Independent?

And, yes - I AM ignorant (but NOT willfully) about Irish politics. Somebody fill me in, please. Thank you.

[freedomisntpolitical]

@mphello Simple, she is repeating shit we have heard for 50 years, and his interruptions are about pressing her to say something meaningful.

She had NO credibility as an independent. She worked with Fianna Fail through her whole career then ran as an indy because of Fianna Fail's poor performance (and subsequent wipe-out). She ran to protect institutionalised career politics and business interest.

Vincent Browne is doing what the people want him to do, grill the scum.

[mphello]

@freedomisntpolitical Ah... ok. With THAT background, I see why Vincent Browne is doing what he's doing.

[GSNRecords]

He lets her speak when she seems to be making a semi-coherent point, and starts cutting her off when she begins repeating the jibbering, driveling, banal, bullshit we've heard before. It's just coincidence that she almost exclusively says jibbering, driveling, banal bullshit.

Don't get me wrong though, she's an excellent politicians judging from the footage here. She keeps a straight face while saying the completely laughable garbage she does.

[mphello]

@GSNRecords

Her solution to "haul the bankers in, grill them, make them sweat" is so fuckin' childish and assinine. The ONLY solution (I want to hear) is PUT THE BANKERS INTO PRISON.

[mphello]

Quiet, everybody! I'm masturbating to the redheaded bimbo!

[ballsoflead]

did she walk in to the studio with a shovel or drive in with digger

[SeanOBriain]

LOL - this is hilarious. A calm Vinny B is dangerous to behold!

[boscoesarmy]

Fucking love it.. LMAS. Its like watching a hungry lion tearing a gazelle to pieces

[MrStonecold69]

i bet this is the FIRST and LAST time this stupid bitch appeared on this how

VINCENT AT HIS VERY BEST

[KrackowKid]

Just another in a long line of self serving cretins looking to get on the political gravy train. Another who's trying to bullshit their way into the political game for personal status rather then public service.

[CLAASPOWER1]

Go on Vincent!!!!

Perfectly spotted and YOU then pulled the rug from beneath her to reveal the truth that this woman is a CLOWN!!!!

THIS IS WHY I PAY MY TV LICENCE CLASSIC TV.

[adjhd1]

"not alone was it open to the public, it was on television", contextually one of the greatest rebuttals in the history of man kind.

[Numinous20111]

Many of the candidates running for the Dublin by-election interviewed by Browne really showed themselves up in the same way.

[ilovepodge]

'stand up to the plate' hahahahaha

[ilovepodge]

independents are fuckin wasters

[irishclevertrevor]

good jesus..no wonder ireland is shagged.....she will be tanaiste next......

[Liver5t]

"Plate what plate" ha



[Arcadian0769]

We need to discover the precise phenotype that would listen to and empower a lady saying such things as this and systematically eliminate them from the general body politic

[philiplyndonsaunders]

Stab. Stab. Stab. Go get her Vincent!

[MrStonecold69]

this is why VB is a legend

Regina u total and UTTER CUNT

dont think she will be going on this show again

A SNOWMAN HAS A BETTER FUTURE

L O  F L

[MrStonecold69]

the 1st thing that came out of her mouth was

MY C * * K

[fiannafailscum]

'I think that should have happened'

'It did happen'

Lol epic

[Suds085]

Im suprised she didnt start crying :L

[APERTUREKING]

Regina: "the most important thing is our future"

Vincent: "ohh good lord!!! when did anybody running for election to anything, say that the most important thing at the moment is our past"??

I bet she wished the ground would just open up and swallow her. Epic stuff again from vincent we need him in the dail.

[101unowho]

good man vincent! what a silly cow she is!

[FreeResponsibility]

could you tell me how you managed to download this from tv3...i tried various ways incl keepvid and none worked...cheers

[CRUISEOBRIEN1]

Vincent Browne if you havent got your guns loaded going on his shows he will rip you too sheds.

[adjhd1]

*face palm*. catch phrases and stating the blinding obvious, this ladies and gentlemen is not the turn that democracy is taking.

[thesportsguy10]

That's d job1 Tear em d shreads!!!

[GusF]

"People aren't worried about today."

Yes, they are.

[McBluff69]

Fuckin Air Head....!!!!!! How do these Assholes get these big jobs anyway........? This is just another example of the Corruption and "Jobs for the Boys" attitude that FF always had, Thank the Lord that we do hav sum body lik Vincent around that can see true these people the second he sees them.......

[irishveganboy]

Lads she hasnt a clue god love the red head.

[irishveganboy]

She is a disgrace

[omnicub3]

brilliant!!! she sounds like somebody from the apprentice!!!

[omnicub3]

brilliant!!!



[Frankieireland]

this woman is the worst person I've seen in a long time in many, many ways. The fact that she was even running points to how shite the race was. I hope she went back to brussels and took her "expertise" with her.

[GusF]

@Frankieireland One of the funniest things was that she advised MEPs on European affairs and didn't even know what was going on in Ireland. Great expertise, eh?

[hiline2009]

did she get in? she was dreadful

[GusF]

@hiline2009 No, thankfully.

[KrackowKid]

@Zionistwatcher So what's Mary Robinson and Mary McAleese about then ? Mary Harney our previous Tanasiste ? Maire Whelan SC and now the Attorney General ? We have 25 elected women T.D's in the Dail. Máire Geoghegan Quinn is our EU Commissioner. We have 12 women in the Seanad. The numbers could be higher but in General I think as more talented women put themselves forward they will get elected. Women do not seek political office in the numbers men do. To call men dickheads is sexist and Unfair

[KrackowKid]

I'd say she got her vodoo doll out after the show and dressed it up in a pin stripe suit with a wig on top and stuck the biggest sowing needles she could find in it. Her partner or husband certaily didn't get laid that night. Poor fella had a headache listening to her all night spitting venom about Mr.Browne. By God, he fairly worker her over there.

[zimzima888]

That tyrannical dictator plate is running our country into the ground! She's exactly right.

we didn't fight for our independence so that nearly 100 years down the line some piece of evil crockery could impose it's will on the good people of this country!

O'Connor 2011

HATE THE PLATE!

HATE THE PLATE!

HATE THE PLATE

[wikidburke]

@zimzima888 are you serious ?? how is our future important , we need to get out of this recession first , do you want to rewind the video to the start ?? she was former fianna fail for christ sake

[zimzima888]

@wikidburke Did you actually read my comment? What world do you live in?

Why would we need to stand up to a plate, it's an inanimate fucking object! She said we need to stand up to the plate twice but what she meant to say was step up to the plate.

I was using her incompetence to make a surrealist joke!

why would she use HATE THE PLATE as her campaign slogan. r u fucking seerious?

Don't worry though, we'll get out of this recession soon with bright sparks such as your self about!

[wikidburke]

@zimzima888 hahahhaha alrite buddy sorry about that i thought you were serious :L good sarcism there :L awh buddy i cant see us getting out of this for a long time , our goverment is a disgrace

[fignon]

another self interest merchant

[LizLemonize]

God love her she's out of her depth....

[thecelticmist]

she cares not for poor people. what a awful person. vincent is a great person.

[someuser905]

important date in US history

[someuser905]

maybe shes talking about a dinner plate from the kitchen?

[mrclearpicture]

this lady ff ff and full of shit

[HitchHikersBlues]

It's the HOT PLATE !!!

[uptightkid]

"Astounding cliche"......ouch. 

[senzers69]

My Friend used to ride her in school back in the day. Apparently she used to have sex with other guys behind his back. BUCK-TOOTH BITCH!

[1davidcampbell]

Love this clip, perfect illustration of the type of vapid corporate clone that rises through the ranks in modern business and politics. If an original thought entered this woman's head I suspect her brain would shatter into a million pieces.

[HitchHikersBlues]

Die Fianna Fail...DIE!!!

[HitchHikersBlues]

I think Vincent Browne should be President!

[MrHolyjesusjuice]

the bankers should be in jail for there crimes

[HitchHikersBlues]

@MrHolyjesusjuice It's a fucking disgrace, what these bastards got away with in this country.

And they still won't suffer, with their big pensions and houses.

[MrHolyjesusjuice]

@HitchHikersBlues Im really am sick of this system we live in we get fucked in the ass no matter what way we turn,

how can we do something about this,and im sick of hearing there wont be any money in the atms IVE GOT NO FUCKING MONEY IN THE FUCKING ATM because of these fucking scum all my savings gone trying to keep my home afloat,

i cant understand why we are not out on the streets demanding justice.

[HitchHikersBlues]

@MrHolyjesusjuice Neither can i understand why, people aren't out in the streets screaming for justice.

I hate living in this country...same bullshit everyday.

They live in a different world to real people.

[MrHolyjesusjuice]

@HitchHikersBlues it wont ever change till we change it,i love ireland and them fuckers destroyed it and the cunts who are in now are doing the same thing we should be doing what the greeks are doing burn it down and start again

[PaddyWhackish]

@HitchHikersBlues ya know i am 38 and the furthest i had been before 2 years ago was the canary islands on a 2 week bender

but being self employed and going bust i hadnt an arse in my trousers and the government didnt care

i came to canada 2 years ago and have not looked bad

i never thought i would say it...but fuck ireland

[HitchHikersBlues]

@PaddyWhackish Well fair play t'ya!

For havin the courage to do, what a lot of people want to, but are maybe afraid to?

I really believe at this stage...it's bad for you're mental health, living on this island.

It's very hard to get on in this country...you open one door, they close another one.

The government are constantly looking for ways to rob you of your income...with taxes, stealth taxes schemes etc...

Anyway, best of luck in Canada.

It's a massive country, and seems to have a good rep!

[oceallaigh2003]

@PaddyWhackish I came to Canada from Ireland 35 years ago and it is a great country but never forget where you came from,Ireland is still a great country despite the greed and corruption of the bankers,the politicians and all their cronies.A new and better Republic will rise from the ashes,what doesn't kill you makes you stronger.

[joesoap81]

@oceallaigh2003

''What doesnt kill you makes you stronger'' Like Polio?

[Klimseven]

'US History' - anyone else catch that?

[GusF]

@Zionistwatcher It has nothing to do with the fact that she is a woman. It has to do with the fact that she hasn't a clue.

[ikeano29]

@Zionistwatcher Maybe they dont suffer fools gladly like you seem to do!!

[MrThommo1971]

Blaaaaaaaaaaaaaahhhhhhhhhhh



[Leinster4life13]

Politicians are just awful,clueless gobshites,no wonder the developers and bankers got a bailout,I'd say they ran rings around these idiots

[bacabu30]

@Zionistwatcher That's nonsense. Regina O' Connor was absolutely clueless here. She's a total cliché.

[OireachtasRetortTV]

lololololololololololololololo­lololololololololololololololo­lolololololololololololololol

oireachtasretort.tumblr.com/po­st/4023516913/oh-regina-vinb-s­hill

[GusF]

You would think that an EU political and legal advisor would have a good idea of the political situation and whatnot in every member state. She didn't even know what was going on in her own country, in which she was running for office. I'm not exactly inspired with confidence.

[111squire]

ah! we are all fecked! if that is the standard that silly bitch can come up with, pack your bags ireland.

[mrhenrykerr1983]

This is why the world is screwed. She is a political and legal advisor in Europe. Seriously...

[brim4brim]

Nothing is more important than our future, I dunno our present is pretty important...

[1davidcampbell]

My future is important to me is your future important to you? If so vote me, number one, passionate for my future.

[liams18]

Vicent is the man

[leathuru]

Vincent Browne is an obnoxious self-absorbed prick.

[gcler03]

this has to be the most embarrassment moment in her life....i would hate to ever be in this position as a person...vincent absolutely roasted her...

[seankinsellasean]

The thing is she has no personality shes just repeating the same old nonsense" we need a better future derp!" if things dont change with these young little rich puppets coming into politics I honeslty would like to get into it myself atleast id speak my mind and not bullshit the people of Ireland.

[mikiebart01]

She obviously was nervous on TV and  started to get flustered!!I like vincent I think hes brill but he needed to cut her some slack!!

[The1AndOnlyDannyBro]

... Is this a comedy?

[johnkelly46]

@The1AndOnlyDannyBro If only it was!

[MegaSj74]

Stand up to the plate means get in and stuff your pockets with money.

[gcler03]

@MegaSj74 ha ha ha good one!!!

[wearyworld]

Oh my god thank god I live in NY. the accent has so much ish ish ish in their words and such a sly under current of hissing land nastiness in their form of communication and conversation. Thank god for immigartion.

[decies11]

Perfect to be an irish politician...thick neck and not a clue with what is going on. "Yes I was in Brussels" Hahahaha...

[celticlofts]

Vincent Browne is an asshole - that's evident. Someone else on the panel should spoke up and told Browne to shut the fuck up and let her answer the question. He was an idiot 30 years ago and sadly age hasn't improved him one bit.

[yermanoffthetelly]

Cringe!!!

[MrStonecold69]

LIKE WATCHING A LAMB BEING RAPED BY A WOLF

BUT IN A BAD WAY

[gespb32]

I dont agree with this woman but she should have been allowed to speak, that was disgusting, its easy to sit on the fence, isnt it Mr Browne?

[Gerry0804]

What a ditz. And she's an advisor?

[thewaronterror]

Browne - incredibly rude there. Petulant.

[treefrog2108]

Abort Abort Abort!!!!!!!!!!!!! the pretty girl has been found out!

[tommyobrien84]

This is like watching a Gazelle getting absolutely MANGLED by a cheetah on Attenborough..

[Harps66]

If Vincent Browne does nothing more than exposing this dim wit then he has done the state some service.

[Nopperabou]

A plate of what? A plate of rashers?! You stupid bint!

[unspeakable28]

She should have sang it . I believe the children are our future, Whitney style

[clarkey23yup]

Vincent Browne is an arrogant prick. End of.

[MrWhosurdaddy09]

@clarkey23yup hey man. wat do u tink ur at calling vincent arrogant. no respect... well get this... respect ur betters ok!!!

[criodain77]

@clarkey23yup so, what do you think of Regina?

[scorpycorky]

She seems to have been caught off base right off the bat. She should have touched base with me, I would have advised she take a raincheck on this. But she insisted on STEPPING up to the plate (not standing!) before getting some ballpark figures on how her baseball phrases would work out with Vincent. Can she not hear the fat lady singing?

[theadventuresofwindy]

What a bimbo..."this is our future", so weak and these are the types that come forward again and again. What a disastrous bunch of no hopers we are.

[theadventuresofwindy]

What a bimbo..."this is our future", so weak and these are the types that come forward again and again. What a disastrous bunch of no hopers we are.

[kanturky]

I think its unfair to label her as out of her depth. Don´t forget that you are watching the "bad bits" here and not the full interview. She made some interesting points in relation to reform of the Seanad and contributed well to the overall debate. I accept that she made a blunder when she commented on the people who had nominated her, but apart from that Vincent, like any other media personality picked on her due to the fact that she had advised FF MEPs. I didnt see the others grilled similarly

[brittttney]

WHAT PLATE?

[decies11]

This poor chick is soooo far out of her depth...perfect for the Seanad!

[Leinsterman75]

And this idiot had been "advising" MEPs in Brussels? Give me strength.

[madamk]

Regina O'Connor says "have the bankers grilled,.let them sweat...and have their pound of flesh" what next ? enjoy with some some fava beans and a nice chianti...

[erpoid]

I care about the future too! She's got pretty red hair........and......a jacket. I'll vote her

[madamk]

100,000 ballot papers to be delivered to the NUI Panel electorate alone (and another approximately 50,000 ballot papers to be delivered to the Trinity electorate) -- all of which have to be delivered by registered post .If the recipient is not at home the registered letter returns to the post office for collection.If not collected within a number of days the paper is mailed AGAIN by registered post a.Each registered letter cost 4 euro .Do the math ! Paid for by the taxpayer.

[dowdallerno1]

dennis o brien, an expert in giving crocked politicians money, great just what we need

[darragh1980]

Dumb EU lisbon loving cunt. Too blind to realise what tyrants the EU and europe are. Good man Vincent, weed out the idiots. Political homicide

[jackthelad101]

@darragh1980 i think your so right Darragh i think some of these are more European than Irish and have forgotten what it means to be Irish and vote against the Irish in the favour consistently in favour of this European dictatorship with their rotten banking system that is fleecing the wealth of the people of Europe

[darragh1980]

Whats this standing up tp the plate. WHAT PLATE?? LOL

[maleslate]

We should've never given them the vote really,

god bless Vincent Browne, he's a gem
