Posted by on Mar 12, 2008 @ 11:03 AMWhy’s Comical Marty in the photo shoot? Isn’t this a job for Jeffrey and Gerry, the junior ministers, or ‘Crazy Cat’ Ruane?
Posted by on Mar 12, 2008 @ 12:58 PMAny truth in the rumour that there are going to be 108 new NI muppets featured?
Hangs head in shame.....

Posted by on Mar 12, 2008 @ 02:14 PMSorry rumsfeld but sesame street has different characters(Big bird, Oscar the grouch and the count etc etc). Thats the Muppet show you are thinking of.
Posted by on Mar 12, 2008 @ 02:20 PMI wonder if the orange order will be allowed to march down Sesame street?
Posted by on Mar 12, 2008 @ 02:25 PMOr will some of the sketches go something like this....” I is for ink. R is for red. A is for apple...what does this make kids?” and so on and so on.
Posted by on Mar 12, 2008 @ 02:31 PM“Potto and Hilda are a combination that work well together, and today we saw a very strong message of sharing that we would all do well to share,” said Mr McGuinness.
“We have an 82-year-old unionist and a 57-year-old republican agreeing to share power, and they have done so since May last year.
Am I the only one who’s slightly worried by one of the leaders of the Assembly taking direction from Muppets?

Surely more worrying is the assembly being headed by a pair of muppets, no?

On a general point, we shouldn’t be promoting the Butcher of the Bogside as some friendly character associated with children’s television. For those affected by the murder and torture carried out by the Londonderry Sinn Fein PIRA terrorists, how should they explain it to their children?
.... yes son, SF PIRA carried out mass murderer ... the leaders murdered and bombed their way to power. Just like the bully in the playground ... but a bit more serious.
What a great role model for a future generation.
Posted by on Mar 12, 2008 @ 05:22 PMsorry P&J;, there is no trolls in Sesame st.
Posted by on Mar 12, 2008 @ 05:56 PMOne of these kids is doin’ his own thing… :)
P&J;? There was a phonecall for you. Your life will be delivered on Friday, ok?
This was brought to you by the letters I, R and A, and by the number 32 :)
Posted by on Mar 12, 2008 @ 07:02 PMMartin denies the rumour that debate and discussion are stifled within Republicanism and introduces two Sinn Fein activists who will investigate this slur. “No one pulls their strings” said McGuinness. “It’s time to put on make up, it’s time to get things right, it’s time to get things started, it’s time to face the music in the Shinner house tonight” said the Foyle MP.
NB. I know it’s Sesame Street, I know.
Posted by on Mar 13, 2008 @ 12:04 AMRepublicanStones - “there is no trolls in Sesame st.” That rules you out. But is Sesame Street Northern Ireland style introducing a new character ‘The Terrorist Butcher’ as one of the ‘good guys’?
Even with the photoshoot, they could have been more sensitive to the families of the victims. It’s hard enough for victims to bring up children on their own without having their homes violated with pictures of a leader of a group responsible for mass murder - Sinn Fein PIRA.
Posted by on Mar 13, 2008 @ 12:48 AMJust because he’s invading your favourite educational show, Mr Frazer.
Posted by on Mar 13, 2008 @ 01:48 AMlol p&j;he nailed you and your come back was pathetic lol
Posted by on Mar 13, 2008 @ 02:21 AM‘The only reason Martin could find to smile now that Ian had gone came one day when a puppeteer missed Potto and slipped his hand into the wrong hole.’
Posted by on Mar 13, 2008 @ 03:07 AMGod it is good to be able to laugh at them, definitely a sign of change.
Posted by on Mar 13, 2008 @ 08:05 AM“there is no trolls”
The muppets at Sesame Tree have work to do :)

“said the Foyle MP. “There has never been a Sinn Fein Foyle MP.
Posted by on Mar 13, 2008 @ 09:05 AMThere is some substance in Lurig’s comment. Comical Marty is a resident of Foyle and we have this Londonderry City result: 1918–1922 Eoin MacNeill (Sinn Féin).
Posted by on Mar 13, 2008 @ 09:27 AMNevin,
Comical Marty. Parapoliticians. Sinner duckwaddles. Athboy Strategy. Patriot priests. AASholes.
Yep, it’s been some time since I’ve encountered your wibble. Who’s your MP in Cloud Cuckoo Land btw?
