We interrupt the cavalcade of crazy to bring this message of sanity and pure joy from the President of Ireland. His final flourish is well worth the price of admission, so I won't spoil it for you. It's a bit dated, from 2010 to be precise, but truer words were never spoken by a truer friend of America than Mr. Higgins. Grab a Guinness if you have one, because you will be toasting the man when he's done.
After a few days of Akin's magical biology lesson, Judge Head's fear of invasion by Blue
MBeanies, Szabo's extra-judicial sheriff powers, Chris Christie's harassment, and every other Tea Party lunatic trying to outcrazy Bachmann, it's refreshing to hear the sound of righteous outrage forcefully and eloquently delivered. President Obama might want to consider inviting President Higgins over for a pint of Guinness, himself.
This showed up briefly earlier today in a diary by ukobserver, but it quickly fell off the list. I am resubmitting this, along with the audio, for general consideration so people can relish it and give it the broader audience it deserves.
I am including a link in the comments where you can tell President Higgins "Go raibh maith agat, mo chara!" (Irish for, "Thank you, my friend.") for standing up on our behalf. Feel free to share this far and wide.
