“Harris is still only 28 but his command of the facts and the aplomb with which he dished out some devastating put-downs showed why some of his colleagues have dubbed him “the white Obama”.”
Well I got the usual Mick Flavin chortle because I knew the context. Must make me a political anorak.
In anyways isn’t Stephen Collins a closet Progressive Democrat who wrote a fawning book on their neo-liberal economic policies at the height of the boom? That didn’t work out too well for Stephen, or for the rest of the country for that matter. So I’d take any political ‘analysis’ from Stephen Collins with as much salt as the great oceans will allow.
I remember when these were funny.
I like it, but yep… it’s not giving me the aul Mick Flavin chortle :)

According to Stephen Collins:
“Harris is still only 28 but his command of the facts and the aplomb with which he dished out some devastating put-downs showed why some of his colleagues have dubbed him “the white Obama”.”

So… can we stop using it then.
Just call him the Great White Nope.
