This may not be an actual TV clip, but this interview with an Irishman who works in finance was one of the highlights of my weekend (in fairness, my weekend was not that exciting). Asked about the demise of the Celtic Tiger — the unprecedented economic growth that Ireland enjoyed from 1995-2007 — this old dude goes off on a colorful and salty rant about “wankin’ bankers” who should be spending the rest of their lives in jail. It’s fantastic. (Be sure to stick around for the final exchange, which is easily the best part.) I wish this guy was my grandfather. He seems like the kind of grandpa who would give you whiskey at age eight and teach you how to take a punch.

Look out Itchy, he’s Irish!
There goes my hero, watch him as he goes…
I like to think that he’s a SAM BELL member.
This must’ve been before Clay Morrow pushed him off that building
Sonovabitch! Curse you, Enrico!
Couldn’t agree more with his statement regarding bankers, these people are just sitting there ripping people off and when their not doing that (or talking about themselves) they are thinking of new ways to rip people off. And similar to the CW, they continue on with impunity! But capitalism RULES none the less! Beats communism, socialism, sharia whatever.
@ Dachshund
Capitalism is a great system. Maybe someday we’ll actually give it a try.
*Sigh*
Too good to be true, unfortunately.
