Pat Kenny Gay Mitchell row, frontline debate

[sidvidkid]

I almost never agree with any politicians, but pat kenny has to be the most stupid conceited and unprofessional person i have ever seen on tv. His questions, anecdotes and ill conceived show ideas range from the boring to the cringeworthy to the deeply offensive.

If he had been born in any other country he would not have been allowed anywhere near a tv studio, but for some strange reason, talent, intellect or charisma is completely uneccessary for irish tv.

to be fair kenny got in a nice wise crack at the end lol

[ndease]

This man attacks Pat Kenny for not discussing the real issues,whilst spending the whole campaign attacking Martin Mcguinness every time he was asked a question on the real issues.Hypocrite.

Gay Mitchell PWNED by Pat Kenny, Very entertaining television :)

[RonanG]

Mitchell has a point. At 800,000 a year from state coffers one has to wonder exactly what Mr Kenny and others in the media added to our knowledge base about any of the candidates. Indeed while he and many of his well paid colleagues were running around trying to hole the various campaigns of the candidates, it took a number of ex judges and attorneys general to remind us of a far more important issue, the two referendums bot of which if passed would give extraordinary powers to our politicians.

The great mystery and something that has puzzled me for years is how Gay Mitchell actually got elected to the Dail in the first place. He is the same Gay Mitchell now as he was all those years ago when he first appeared on the political scene, completely lacking in personality and personal warmth which makes him totally unappealing. He bored the electorate silly with his self pitying and indeed bitter accounts of his early years, yet has lived the last thirty years as a well paid public servant.

Mr. Mitchell reduced the Presidential campaign to a gutter brawl. The man hasn't a statesmanlike bone in his body. He started off on McGuinness as soon as he declared his intention to run and totally misread the countries feelings towards McGuinness. His snide, sneering, self-satisfied, smug condescentions only served to highlight the dignified and honourable bearing of Michael D. The absolute gall of a person invited to take part in a debate, deliberately usurping the proceedings. Bloody clown!

[imfml]

I love the way Pat points out the only people who clapped were his supporters, and noone else lol

[karanmartina]

bore mitchell is even poorer now,he better dust down that c.i.e bus drivers cap and get busy

[1davidcampbell]

Was that Peter Mathews up there among the representatives?

[SeanOBriain]

Listen to all the Fine Gael lapdogs clapping like good sheep in their corner.

[ciaranbrk]

have u ever just wanted to punch him in the face its not that he is talking more the fact he is breathing and wont stop :D

[MrFortright]

Gay Mitchell has a face you want to punch and once on the floor repeatdley kick in!!!!

[IrishEyesAintSmilin]

Gay Mitchell seems to have a very high opinion of himself and seems perplexed as to why the public don’t love him as much as he does. He is just dying to tell us all about himself but can’t understand why the Irish public are not interested in his petulant outbursts and “very ordinary” career. I think Pat Kenny hit the nail on the head regarding temperament and character, Pat did in 10 seconds what Fine Gael couldn’t do in over 20 years, get the little pri*k to shut up.

[PATRICKEIRE]

Cant stand pat kenny myself,,but gay mitchell is as bad,,,the member of the audiance is fully entitled to ask what ever question they want,,its the like of gays kind of politicans that have our nation the way it is now,,in his view and a lot of the other politicans views we are meant to just do as we are told and vote for them and god forbid we use our own minds

[marxist854]

Enda must have been cringing

[ieyedmonster]

now i know who impersonates dustin the turkey gay bully mitchell

[pete26785]

mitchell is not the man for the job -yet. but, he was spot on to make those comments.

[caggles1]

I agree, Pat Kenny has gotten so much better as he gotten older. Gay Mitchell just looked like a child with a temper tantrum

[oharey]

He is a joke !!! He shouldn't decide what questions he should answer .... the public asked the questions its his job to answer them .... not to whine and complain !!!! God help our country if he gets elected !

[ANTODEDUB]

now i'm not a big pat kenny, but by jaysis he just destroyed gay mitchell. :D

[3seashells]

Mitchell's a clown, doesn't know how to debate or conduct himself.

[mrblog47]

Go Pat!



[speakeasy247]

Gay Mitchell's campaign just crashed and burned there along with Gallagher's
