Even Ireland Hates Us Now - E-mail from an Irish Friend -
Advertisements [?]
I am just posting the e-mail he sent me, but it's pretty bad considering how highly they thought of us when Clinton was president.

"Lansdowne Road - This is the stadium where the national rugby team
plays host to it's opponents. It boasts of having one of the best behaved audiences, however, yesterday in a game against the USA the crowd persisted in booing and hissing the American players once they got possession of the ball.

When the USA were kicking at the goal posts the noise was unrelenting. Usually, in a situation like this the stadium stays reasonably quietto let the kicker concentrate.

Eventually, game officials asked the crowd to stop the protest. It was all because of the recent reelection of the president. Usually, this sort of audience behavior would get a bitter reaction from people and the media. However, it would seem, from the people I
spoke with that feeing was that it was good enough for them!!!!!!"


Now I know how Red State DU'ers feel - being blamed for the votes of the slim majority of idiots in our midst. It really sucks.
