Orson Welles was heard to tell a waitress in Santa Monica "those Irish
Mick bastards are only any good for shoveling cow shit and gobbling
bacon the bog trotting feckers". The waitress had asked the normally
genial Welles what he thought about JFK's inauguration.

The conversation was overheard in the coffee shop by my uncles
under-butler who had gone their to purchase some "Viennese Medium
Roast" for my great uncle Prince Oblinski who was in town to visit Judy
Garland. Prince Oblinski was a great fan of Garland even when she was
turning up in 3rd rate London clubs in the mid 1960's, to loaded too
remember her words and pissing herself in London taxis.

Oblinski had also told me about the time Churchill had threatened to
have a company of Irish Dragoons shot for mutiny during WW1 for losing
his cognac and champagne supply during a surprise bombardment by the
Hun. Churchill also hated the Irish and was heard to tell the Scot's
Guardsmen under his command "that bakerlite Paddy (plastic was not
invented yet), Eamon De Valera will never get home rule for a united
Ireland the half yank bastard as long as I can throw a spanner in the
works". Churchill then paid his men 60 bob to give the Dragoons a
hiding their peat sucking mothers would feel back in County Roscommon.

"Tell Winston we could have done nothing without him." Michael Collins
on Churchill shortly before he was murdered by his own.

CHURCHILL ON IRELAND, 1922

I remember on the eve of the Great War we were gathered together at a
Cabinet meeting in Downing Street, and for a long time, an hour or an
hour and a half, after the failure of the Buckingham Palace
Conference, we discussed the boundaries of Fermanagh and Tyrone. Both
of the great political parties were at each other's throats. The air
was full of talk of civil war. Every effort was made to settle the
matter and bring them together. The differences had been narrowed
down, not merely to the counties of Fermanagh and Tyrone, but to
parishes and groups of parishes inside the areas of Fennanagh and
Tyrone. And yet, even when the differences had been so narrowed down,
the problem appeared to be as insuperable as ever, and neither side
would agree to reach any conclusion.

Churchill who lived in Dublin for three years only saw the Irish
problem in relation to Britain, whether any decision was detrimental
to Britain or not. Irish politicians both north and south had the same
view.

Overall he was a bastard but we're not writing this in German are we?

Churchill on a train was sleeping when a lady opposite noticed his fly
was down. She leaned over and said "sir your penis sticking out".

Churchill, "don't flatter yourself it's merely hanging".

A genius in the world of film and his role in the assassination of JFK
with his accomplish Larry "Buster" Crabbe and backed by Churchill and
the British Secret Service. Churchill had never forgiven Joe Kennedy
prior to the start of WWII.

Kennedy was as much Irish as Rod Stewart was Scottish! (well less
since Rod Stewart had a Scottish dad at least).
These Yanks call themselves Irish if their great-great-great
grandfather came from there. In a similar fashion I am Roman or maybe
a Dane.

Seeing as how he began his theatrical career at the Gate Theatre in Dublin, this seems unlikely.

Because we are. The Irish made America and being an American is belonging to a nationality, not an ethnicity. We Americans can identify with whatever part of our heritage we choose. Why this angers so much of the rest of the world is laughable. Just another example of what makes us unique.
