This man is an intellectual pygmy. And an opinionated one at that.

“Everything that happens on the internet is distorted”?

So John Waters challenge was to find a blogger who could “Speak three consecutive words of English”

Here’s 43 words from John.

“…but the good news is, the hopeful sign is that, actually I believe its actually going to wane, that ehehewah that blog and and the internet is actually even now it’s on the ascendant is actually the CB radio of the noughties now…”

In this incoherent ramble he uses the word “actually” four times as if it lent credence to his gibberish.

John Waters, giant intellect or inflated windbag?

Why do the Irish Times waste money employing the man?

He used to be quite intelligent. Almost sounded like an intellectual in the past until he got obsessed with the discrimination against single fathers. He had some good points but couldn’t write about anything else for ages. Every other subjects ended up turning on that same axis.

It’s very hard to see how even the worst blogs could be much worse than the gutter press in the world of print.

Fergal the blogger was really good and knocked Waters for six. Unfortunately that will be like water off a duck’s back and no doubt we will be subjected to more ignorant shite from this guy.

I like the idea of Madam editor instructing him to start his own blog. Maybe that’ll shift him to the Indo where he can spend his time sparring with Kevin Myers and spare us all.

I’m also reminded of a recent Simpson’s episode where Nelson does his Ha-ha bit at a ‘print journalist’ : “ha-ha your medium is dy-ing!”

That’s you that is John. D*ckhead.
