Five worst ever Irish accent imitations by big names for St. Patrick’s Day

Never heard of this guy, Glen Beck. And hope I never do again. Whether or not you like President Barack O'Bama, such toxic pessimism and negativity is surely not the American way. Thought he was Ciara Dexy-Murphy in drag, such was the pervasive condescension. Were all entitled to our human fallible.

Thankfully, Beck's 15 minutes apparently are up. But he certainly had that smug, snotty, sarcastic attitude that seems to be in fashion nowadays.

Hang on a moment. This might be the first and last time that I defend Glenn Beck. But surely he is DELIBERATELY doing a bad Irish accent as a way of satirising Obama's supposed efforts. Mind you, somebody might explain to him that it is "WestMINSTER Abbey" not "West MINISTER Abbey"

People love to imitate what they love to hear !!!

Ive yet to hear a non Irish person do a decent convincing Irish accent.

They're just having fun. Chill out.

BippyBellito and edmundburke are right on. BTW edmundburke, love the nom de plume.

Every Irish Citizen and Irish-American should send Mr. Obama an email like trhis: What up, ni--a?

A sense of humour in some posters would'nt go astray.

Could any of us imagine the uproar if an Irish delegate or president tried to use Black slang when speaking to Obama! Why Obama isn't listed as the most offensive of all attempts at "Irish Talk" is beyond my comprehension. An article needs to be written to focus on just what a buffoon this Obama is, especially how he stereotypes our heritage. What a disgrace he is and what poor reporting this piece of "journalism" is.

In trying to pile on against Beck, IC inadvertantly highlighted an incident that wasn't covered very much -- Barack Obama's offensive and unfunny attempt to mimic an Irish accent. In front of the President of Ireland no less and for the benefit of the press. This is highly insulting. IC should rewrite this story and put Obama should on the top of this list.
