"I won it on a hoarse"

RTE in Satire Shock

In a break from tradition, RTE Television showed a funny political sketch last night, raising doubts about the stations commitment to bore everyone in Ireland into emigrating.

The Taoiseach is said to be furious, and has been heard to remark that his "fucking sorrows have learned to swim", or words to that effect (or something- it's hard to make out what he was saying).

Enda Kenny remarked "what was that about anyway- I didn't get it", while Eamon Gilmore sent fraternal greetings to his comrades in the RTE Central Committee, while smiling and claiming not to know whether the sketch was funny or just peculiar.

Brian Lenihan was unavailable for comment (doing his hair) (again).
