Irish America magazine names 2011 Top 100

The list is a joke. What about jack welch?

its a shame the way some of your readers think?just superficial.the pity of it all ,is that our people were sent by the british to every corner of the earth.you have to feel the sorrow and heartbreak .did they intermarry?yes,every place they went.maybe they dont look like you,what ever that is.but their irish-returning.

capitalism is on its last legs - we need a blend of public and private initiatives going forward. The programmed masses believers in the tooth fairy will fight it until the pains gets unbearable. Multi billionaire days will be numbered but a new inducement to excite the gifted entrepreuners will be required. Posh palaces and lavish behaviour will be frowned upon.

Could name a hundred more deserving but hey..proud to be Irish.

Comedian and Harvard grad. Conan O'Brien could be added to the list!

How about a Queens boy named Ed Burns? Ed has written The Brothers McMullen any many more movies. His brother writes for TV ,Blue Bloods etc. How about Colin Quinn who is an amazing comedian,A lot of Irish American talent came out of New York. Forget Breslin he hates his own kind and made sure he wrote about it. Are you really considered Irish if one great,great grandparent came from Ireland?

So pleased to see Ethel Brogan at last receive the recognization she deserves. Ethel founded Daltaí na Gaeilge, a group dedicated to the Irish language.She has enabled hundreds to have the chance to learn and use the language and did it all on a small budget without fuss and fanfare. Comhghairdeas!

That great Irish American Muhammed Ali ?This is getting more embarrassing with every passing year.Who next?Connie Chung? Whose mother's college room mate's great grandmother was from Dublin.

OBAMA....??????????????????????????????????????

Brilliant!

You have a few who are a disgrace to the Irish...Kathy Griffin and Rosie O Donnell....please remove thier names....where is Peggy Noonan ?

Maybe one or two of us didn't make the list.

CitizenWhy: Maybe so, but we're talkin' Irish here!

Any ethnic group in the US could come up with a comparable list.
