Speaking of mocking ... Walker won in Wisconsin :>)

SEE THING IS THE OPINIONS OF AMERICANS ABOUT THE IRISH DONT MATTER TO ME ONE BIT ...

It's what they are grazing on is the problem McNamara31 and they certainly do have a 'Herd" mentality.

Biden disrespected Mexico with his refusal to toast. He could have used any number of non alcoholic beverages. This was just a publicity stunt and a bad one at that.

Yea right. AND he was a Native American too. Just like the other fraud, John not a real Kerry.

irishpjk, BrianO.... Is this the best the two of you can come up with? Ah...The “Fox herd” is definitely out grazing today;and leaving their crapola behind them.

Is that McNamara from the band? If not he he should join with all that hot air he could be good on the pipes

Ah Mcnamara31 you can find the silver lining in every liberal cloud.

Long before the many could spell Pakistan, Joe Biden has been telling the world of the threat Pakistan poses to the world with its nuclear storehouse full of weapons. Mock him if you will for his good natured style of politics, Biden remains one of the most knowledge, able politicians in terms of foreign policy. And about his statement about not taking a drink; I call that wisdom. If more people with alcoholism in their genetics treated it in this fashion it would save families the destruction this disease brings.

The smear masters below need to lighten up.You're a bunch of mean spirited drolls.

Since I know nothing about Mr. O’Shea I can only make assumptions about him from reading his three pages of drivel. Who did he get all this information from? I mean the back scratching aunt ext. ext. No Irish man I know would embarrass his family with that stuff, except when he was on his way from the local and a pint or two over his limit. My conclusion one amadan writing about a bigger amadan than himself. I will be back to see how long this one lasts.

recognized a fake holiday, good for the bar trade though.

If for anything he recognized Cinco de Mayo. There are many Hispanic names that are originally Irish and a few are Obregon (O'Brien), Felan (Phelan), Barragan (Berrigan) Maldonado (McDonald) Oconor (O'Connor) among others. Hugo Oconor, born in Dublin ran afoul of English law in Ireland, fled to Spain where he became and officer in the Spanish Army was sent as interim governor of New Spain based at the Spanish Governors Palace in San Antonio where he laid the cornerstone of Mission San Jose y san Miguel de Aguayo which is one of the most beautiful restored missions in San Antonio and considered the Queen of the Missions of Texas or so stated by Franciscan Historian Fray Juan Agustin Morfi (Murphy) in the 1770's.

irishpjk don't let threat of non posting slow the truth down,bring it!

I agree with VietVet, perhaps the moron should imbibe a little, couldn't hurt, with his level of intelligence it could only help. What tripe that it's an IrishTradition never to toast with water. What a joke, he is so insulting and patronizing and yet, he gets a pass
