[Joe the Revelator]

16. Sorry he's back on the issues and not feeding your need for an artificial scandal.

[rug]

19. Yes, it's about time someone in this primary addressed the Irish economy.

[anigbrowl]

25. It's something you might find worth learning about

Meantime, since I'm Irish myself (for Ireland, no less), I'm happy he recognized St. Patrick's day. I'll hoist a pint to him later!

[rug]

27. I'm 7/8 Irish. If i ever get my dual citizenship I'll look into it.

[TheDoorbellRang]

[rug]

20. He's a uniter.

[Algorem]

17. he's running for office where The Office is?

something might be suspicious about that

[rug]

21. They're both bad sitcoms.

[maddiejoan]

18. plagiarizing Dodd

[rug]

22. He did mention Dodd in passing. Overall, it was a speech Mayor Quimby could have given.

28. I can't seem to find the stream on this page. I thought this was going on right now?

[rug]

31. No. WBRE broke into Jeopardy to broadcast his speech live. Only about 10 minutes long.

They should have it on their site later if you want to see it. I was hoping he'd say something but it was the basic St. Patrick's Day speech.
