Taoiseach Bravely Says Exactly What He’s Been Told To Say On Greece



IRELAND’s Taoiseach Enda Kenny has had praise heaped on him by the EU, the ECB and the IMF following his latest comments on Greece’s debt crisis.
“It takes real bravery to stick exactly to the script,” Mario Draghi, head of the ECB told WWN earlier today, “the ear piece we gave him, feeding him dialogue obviously helps, but he has shown a real Meryl Streep-like flair for this”.
The Taoiseach’s appetite for toeing the official line is said to be much respected by a number of EU leaders, with additional praise reserved for similar statements given by Joan Burton.


“We’re not even close to the nomination deadline for the Biggest Lick Arse in the EU, but I think I’ll vote for Enda early,” Angela Merkel revealed to German press earlier today.

Clare Daly in 2013- one of the Top 5 Best Political Rants EVER DELIVERED anywhere at any time

"You (Taoiseach) have showcased us as a nation of pimps prostituting ourselves in return for a pat on the head...we were speculating this morning whether you were going to deck the cabinet out in leprechaun hats decorated with a bit of stars and stripes to really mark abject humiliation here..."

A few Waterford Whispers News stories have been taken up by "serious" news media.

They had one a few years ago about North Korea sending a manned rocket to the sun, the plan being to land by night. Just Google "North Korea mission to the sun".

Then Google WWN Lidl for more fun and games or WWN John Waters Uganda

The humour tends to be localised - for example the John Waters referred to is an Irish conservative commentator not the US film maker.
