Irish Wish for AIG . St. Paddy's Day wish for AIG and the rest of the vandals and berserkers and barbarians still holding sway from the era o'Bushie...a curse still in play. . To the vandals of AIG and their minions near and far, May the spirit of the Irish come crap upon your car.
You destroyed the American economy and now you whine Oooh, oooh, them bonuses must be mine.
Yet while your eyes widen and your conniving brains spin We've people living in tents and praying for regular meals ag'in.
'Tis a good time to be Irish or living with one, too. 'cause then I can take this moment to send this wish to you...
All of you, you know who you are. Your craven greed and recklessness and avarice runs beyond the bar
of human decency and there should be just reward. Not bonuses and big bucks lives, but a coat of feathers, richly tarred.
Yes, on this day of St. Paddy's here is my wish for the likes of you. An indictment from Fitzgerald and the sting of his shillelagh, too.
My cousin, she of the driveway poster waving bye-bye to Darth and Shrub, sent me this in email. Obama's our people! "He's as Irish as bacon"!
Moneygall is a small village in County Offaly, Ireland. It has a population of 298 people, has a Roman Catholic church, five shops, a post office, a national school, a police station and two pubs.
President Barack Obama's great-great-great grandfather, Falmouth Kearney, emigrated from Moneygall to New York City at the age of 19 in 1850 and eventually resettled in Tipton County, Indiana. Kearney 's father had been the village shoemaker. [You can see the Irish portion of President Obama's genealogy here.]
And now for the SONG...Crank up your speakers.
Lyrics:
No one as Irish as Barack Obama
O'Leary, O'Reilly, O'Hare and O'Hara There's no one as Irish as Barack O'Bama
You don't believe me, I hear you say But Barack's as Irish, as was JFK His granddaddy's daddy came from Moneygall A small Irish village, well known to you all
Toor a loo, toor a loo, toor a loo, toor a lama There's no one as Irish As Barack O'Bama
He's as Irish as bacon and cabbage and stew He's Hawaiian he's Kenyan American too He’s in the white house, He took his chance Now let’s see Barack do Riverdance
Toor a loo, toor a loo, toor a loo, toor a lama There's no one as Irish As Barack O'Bama
From Kerry and cork to old Donegal Let’s hear it for Barack from old moneygall From the lakes if Killarney to old Connemara There’s no one as Irish as Barack O’Bama
O'Leary, O'Reilly, O'Hare and O'Hara There's no one as Irish as Barack O'Bama From the old blarney stone to the great hill of Tara There's no one as Irish as Barack O'Bama
2008 the white house is green, their cheering in Mayo and in Skibereen. The Irish in Kenya, and in Yokahama, Are cheering for President Barack O’Bama
O'Leary, O'Reilly, O'Hare and O'Hara There's no one as Irish as Barack O'Bama
The Hockey Mom's gone, and so is McCain They are cheering in Texas and in Borrisokane,
In Moneygall town, the greatest of drama, for our Famous president Barack o Bama
Toor a loo, toor a loo, toor a loo, toor a lama There's no one as Irish As Barack O'Bama
The great Stephen Neill, a great man of God, He proved that Barack was from the Auld Sod They came by bus and they came by car, to celebrate Barack in Ollie Hayes’s Bar
O'Leary, O'Reilly, O'Hare and O'Hara There's no one as Irish as Barack O'Bama
