The man's a legend.For those of you that don't know him he's a squat little politician from Limerick with a dramatic moustache that looks like a small dog, and an annoyingly nasal voice. Willie appears regularly on RTE's Questions and Answers and besides saying "I didn't interrupt you" repeatedly, swats aside all difficult questions with pithy and withering ripostes, melting his opponent under the weight of the stare he projects from under his floppy fringe.
Anyway Willie is in the news because, unbefitting of a government minister, he supposedly told someone to 'fuck off' during a pub argument. John Bowman would have swallowed his own teeth had he been there to hear it.
Apparently some Limerick locals took issue with him on his Dáil performances since the whole Shannon row erupted - apparently Aer Lingus have pissed off a lot of people down there. Something to do with the loss of billions of euro in revenue as opposed to say, something more mundane like the lost luggage of a Mrs. O'Halloran from Annacotty. I admit my grasp of the story here may well be quite sketchy though.
In any case, after having his performance challenged by some bloke, little Jack Russell O'Dea snapped: "Who is that big p***k?" and allegedly called the guy outside for a scrap to settle things the old fashioned way, to which the man replied that if O'Dea was a bit bigger, he might consider it. O'Dea then reportedly told the man's female companion "I don't give a f**k about you."
The aggrieved parties spilled all to the newspapers and are seeking an apology but unrepentant Willie says he merely told them to "sod off". In other words, he didn't inhale kids, it's alright.
I believe everyone should have a tee-shirt with Willie's photo on it as he's one of those people you just want to laugh at.
