#latelate Blare wrap-up

So Blare gave his first live interview on Irish TV last night. A really bad start for this season of The Late Late Show. Tubs is out of his depth, although jedward had him out of his depth as well, so I don't know what that was about. He kept asking Blare stupid simple questions like "Did you prey with Bush" or "Are you a war criminal" and kept interrupting him throughout the interview.  And if that wasn't a bad enough circus, jedward just caused chaos. It was fun to make fun of the whole thing on Twitter.

Oddly enough, there were two jedward supporters for every anti-war protester outside RTE.  Here's the photo one of them took of jedward with Blare.

And then the anti-war movement had a protest outside Eason's this morning, started at 11, I was still in bed. I understand protesting, but there was no need to scuffle with the Gards. They are only doing t heir job. There's a good post over at Never Felt Better about the violent protesters. I don't see the point of doing a citizens arrest, the Guards are obviously not going to act on it.  

I feel rather apathetic about Blare. There's no point in arguing about Iraq now, it's done. He made the decision based on intelligence which he was given, so the blame lies with America.
