For some reason, the Irish are particularly interested in the Imus story (perhaps because the ridiculous Andrew Sullivan has tried to translate him to the British Isles & Ireland).

As an Irish-American, I am so sick of the Irish getting down on America. When their economy was in the dumps (since what - 1600?), America took them in and employed them. Sure, they took their lumps here, but who started the draft riots during the Civil War that took so many African-American lives? But I’m sure they’re completely ignorant of their history here in the states.

Sorry, but the smoke is still coming out of my ears...

this was from an Irish paper but I think the writer is employed by a British paper. And is British.
