From May 2010, an exchange between Michael D Higgins (who was elected President of Ireland last year) and Tea Party-loving radio guy Michael Graham on Irish radio.

I got tears in my eyes listening to this. We never hear politicians being this honest and clear and powerful anymore. They parse their words so carefully now it drives me nuts.

This is so worth watching.
