Hey guys, sorry I’ve not been posting lately. Some big things in the works.
Anyway, we’ve all heard Gogarty’s outburst and if you hven’t you can watch it here.
Now, once we get past the whole “Ooo… the man said fuck… bad man…” shite, we can look at the rest of what was said. He says
It is most unparliamentary language and I now withdraw it and apologise for it but I am outraged that someone dares question my sincerity on this issue.
I do not like what has to be done, but I will take responsibility, take it on the chin, get the unpopularity and lose my seat because it is the only thing we can do to get this country out of the state we are in.
Let’s look at this in stages:
1: He reinforces his degree of sincerity.
2: Admits he doesn’t like what’s happening, which is another way of saying all other options are exhausted and therefore someone has to be a prick (by implementing these policies).
3: Assumes responsibility, therefore making him look even more sincere.
4: Admits a he will loose his seat which is at risk.
In my opinion is what this whole stunt is about his seat. It detracts from the actual vote and if tomorrow’s papers latch onto the swearing rather then the actual bill his stunt will have been a success. What Paul needs to remember though, is that stunts are hard to manage properly.
