Sunday Independent reaches a new nadir

If I ever go to hell, and it is quite possible, please let me never have to share a cell with Louis Walsh (I've always imagined Hell to have cells). But better still, please don't make Barry Egan my slopping-out partner. As is stands, we have to put up with his shit in the Sunday Independent every week. (My local newsagent must have sold his sole copy of the Tribune by time I arrived).

Egan must have actually enjoyed the lecture at journo school where they tell the future scribes that at some stage of their careers they will have to write shamelessly and compromise what it means to write what you believe. I, for one, cannot believe what appeared in today's edition ...

"Mr Star Quality, Louis Walsh is never boring. Up close and personal he is the passive-aggressive control freak you might have expected. On the contrary, sometimes he can be rather fragile and gentle and vulnerable, like the rest of us. He has certainly mellowed over the years, and with it comes a more human side".

Egan goes on to describe Walsh with truly nauseating prose.

"He has the status of grand fromage but without the cheesiness of limo-riding and private jet-hopping self-importance that comes with it. He never acts like a big-shot designer-clad asshole. He never even dresses like one. Louis Walsh is the least narcissistic multimillionaire you could meet. "

Walsh has made a living from peddling pop pap and from forcing people of average taste to put up with the likes of Shane Lynch and Ronan Keating. Here's to hoping the Long Tail will crack like a whip across the back of insipid entertainment and put this twat from Kiltimagh out of business.
