@rah29: Yup, and the assertion isn't even backed up by the quotes she collected. One man said something dodgy. You could get anyone anywhere to say something offensive for an opinion piece. You need n=3 to back up your theory.

@Aesop's Foibles.: Exactly. There is no lurking distrust of women in Ireland, there's not even a lurking distrust of women in politics in Ireland. Not to a greater degree than there is of all politicians. The post should also clarify that the article is about a largely protestant area of Northern Ireland, and thus is…

@throwdetta: Adorable, but not to be trusted!

I think the key word there is conniving. You're not supposed to trust conniving women!

@LeCauchemar: I think Jezebel should start a pool on which celebrity wears them first. I'm going to go with Paris.

Paris Hilton and Forever 21 could use Leda and Pierre St. Jacques for the ad campaign. Remember, it's for the kids.

@nevin: It's always Paddy Power. They get masses of publicity with their wacky bets.

@brokenscope: Yup, the photos are icky, but I'm sure they treated the dog perfectly well. My worry would be was the model exploited? From their own explanation she was booked to do a completely different shoot. Given that modelling jobs can be hard to come by, she may have felt unable to back out at that stage.

@shouldbestudying - med school edition: You caught me out. I just wanted to use the word Triumvirate.

@kkatt: Oh that was the worst ever. I don't know how that man kept his cool, he must have really prepared for meeting O'Reilly. What O'Reilly said was absolutely despicable (although that's not exactly a departure for him). How his stupid audience swallow his transparent, hateful guff is beyond me.

In fairness to Palin, it's not like she's uninformed. I mean she reads all the papers.

@rah29: Ha ha, can you imagine? "I repeat just answer the question!"

@Acquanetta: Her family is plenty diverse. It has both men AND women. And a baby. I think that covers the diversity angle.

Ed Hardy, popped collars, and designer bag paired with trackies in one picture. It's like a triumvirate of Klassy.

I think the Fox audience are too stupid to be insulted by Sarah Palin.

Jeebus, the Lady Gaga vs Cher wackadoodle outfit competition is really kicking off. Inspired choice Cher.

@AtomiClash humanitarian misanthrope: Yup, I'm not sure where the hell it came from, I'm not sure anyone here knows where the hell it came from. There's now a 25,ooo euro fine for "publishing or uttering matter that is grossly abusive or insulting in relation to matters sacred by any religion.". Hopefully it can be…

Yes Simon Cowell, you're worried about overexposure so in a blaze of PR generated hype you leave American Idol to join the brand spanking new American X Factor. Nice work.

@AtomiClash humanitarian misanthrope: Ugh, I hate that kind of dumbed down moronic reporting. How is that a useful question to ask the ambassador anyway, you should ask him things only he or people on the ground in Haiti would be aware of. You can find out about the buildings being earthquake proof from another source…

@AtomiClash humanitarian misanthrope: They probably love Ireland's new anti-blasphemy law.
