Is anyone watching this Irish guy on Faux.
His name is Malachy McCourt and the author of "A Monk Swimming". He mentions 3x as many Iraqis have died than on 9/11 and that there is no difference between killing people with bombs or planes. To stop the occupation in Iraq. That 566 soldiers have died and BushCo has gone to over 100 Rep. fundraisers. That the only thing we have is the U.N when fighting terrorism. Cavuto kept on asking and saying "You don't like Bush" and finishe saying "Everyone is entitled to their opinion." Which just means "I don't care what you say and I don't like you." Who is this guy and damn am I glad to be of Irish dissent after hearing this.

2. Malachi McCourt
Used to have an afternoon talk show on radio in NYC...he has been a liberal gadfly for many years and is the brother of Frank McCourt, who wrote "Angela's Ashes."

Good for him!

5. He appeared as an incarcerated Catholic priest ...
...on a recent episode of the t.v. series OZ.
A Monk Swimming is a good book. Anyway, I loved him on cavuto. He was just so un-wavering on his stance, and cavuto, being the stuffed shirt righty that he is, just couldn't handle it!!!!! Brilliant!!!

9. McCourt and the Faux fool
had a chance to watch a few minutes of the show(I believe Covuto the faux nut was the host or should I say whore)McCourt was telling the fool what an ass Bush was and still is and the fool kept defending the actions of the unelected fraud,Mr McCourt mentioned how many innocent people have died because of Shrubs little war,and the fool asked how many lives have been saved because of Shrubs war,the most stupid queston I've ever heard.After Bush is sent packing the faux snooze snitwork should have their licience revoked.

10. He also was involved in writing a book with Kevin McAuliffe
titled, "The Sayings of Generalissimo Giuliani", a great overview of the ex-mayor of NYC's exploits in office (and out). This book is one of my faves, it looks like Mao's Little Red Book (because it's a little red book) and it is absolutely scathing. Malachy also had a tiny part in the early 70s film, "The Molly Maguires". He was the bartender in the miners' bar. (This is one of my favorite films, why the hell isn't it out on DVD yet?) He's also on WBAI in NYC every once in a while.
