Where’s me Lucky Pole?
Anyone seen this? John Gormley of the Green Party goes mental on McDowell at his lucky election pole in Ranelagh. One of the fascinating undercurrents in this campaign has seen the PD’s thrashing around like crazed minkbats as they yet again face electoral annihilation and fixating on the Greens as a target with a soft underbelly. The PD’s are terrified some of their affluent yummy mummy base will vote Green after watching An Inconvenient Truth. McDowell even admitted this in one of his press conferences.
The fireworks start about 2 minutes in.

It all just leaves me wondering what a minkbat is. Picturing some exotic stoat-like creature, but with wings. Not working so much.

Ahh the minkbat. Spawned in the fell laboratories of The Bastard Kesey for nefarious and illegal purposes the minkbat is the genetic consequence of the cross fertilisation of the Irish feral mink (Mustela Vison) and the Lesser Horseshoe Bat (Rhinolophus Hipposideros). These creatures, christened by Kesey his furry missiles of doom, reside in the belfry and dungeons of Bastard Keep and guard the many treasure hoards and deadly curiosities known to lie within it’s dank walls.
Understand gentle readers, The Bastard Kesey holds no degree in medicine or genetics from any recognised institution, he simply obtains the poor creatures in question locks them in a room together. What emerges may sometimes be more mink than bat, sometimes more bat than mink, nevertheless pray he never decides to take you to the special rooms.
