Via the Ray D’Arcy show is John Bracken. Your candidate for Laois/Ofally:
There’s also a song about him doing the rounds. D’Arcy played it this morning. A lot. We must find a copy and put it online somewhere. If anyone can procure it, let me know.
Update: Song is on Mongrel
Has it got the words “alright, alright, calm down” in it?
I swear he’s no relation.
Couldn’t find the song, there is a bounty for it’s discovery.
‘Tis a far cry from Obama Barak.
I’ve been wondering who that guy was for ages. Was driving from Cavan to Cork a while back and spotted the poster outside Ballymahon. I swear I nearly drove the car into a ditch.
I think all 1970’s barbershop models should run for office.
@kav: 😆 that’s classic
It’s the slogan that does it…
I’ve seen his posters a few times in the last month or so, but only in Offaly. I’ve never seen them anywhere in Laois.
I really hope he comes canvassing to my door!
You could put a guitar in his hand, and he’d look like one of those dodgy folk singers that tour the country pubs at weekends, that either clears the pub, or drives everyone to drink more because they’re too upset to talk.
[…] Damien Mulley got my hopes up about a new election based comedy show along the lines of Pat Shortt’s fantastic Maurice Hickey character. […]

This might explain why I’ve seen none of his posters in Laois. Maybe he thinks he’s standing in Longford-Offaly.
HOT.

Claire and Team Bracken, you could have at least moved computers. We’re not that thick at Mulley.net. The last 4 comments came from the same computer. Tut tut.
Broke Back Bracken is on his way. Look out Bertie
“He’ll raise his hands in triumph when he’s elected to the Dail”
YEEEEHAAAAA!
“Broke Back Bracken”
Classic. Roaring laughing.
Best of luck to my cousin, wish i had inherited such a robust moustache.
[…] John Bracken’s posters are causing many a smile as is the photoshopping, John’s website has more photos, and a campaign commitment to sending all judges for psychological counselling twice a year. Has anyone found the song yet? […]
I was right! I knew he had that steely look to be able to face down empty pubs, week in week out. He could yet be the singing Taoiseach, serenading world leaders as he goes.
Christ a cross between David Davin-Power, (he of RTE fame) and Dan from Killinaskully.
