    Is HER career tanking, too? These people are all idiots.
Why don’t they all just line themselves up with the ‘mindless anarchist’ party?

 This sounds like a publicity stunt for someone needing a headline.
 Whatever, Sinead. Do whatever floats your boat.

Yes, there was no shortage of them for the aids concerts, but no one would slow down on the drugs and immorality that goes on in the entertainment business.

    Ugghh. She gets to leverage the fact that she is Irish and hates the Catholic Church into a mention by any lazy American reporter looking for a unique angle in an “Irish” story.
