No, not the rugby team, Louis Walsh. Other than Chris, I'm not sure anyone else from the world of Irish blogs is paying much attention to the X-Factor, but my children keep me up to date, sort of. Anyway, from what I understand, Louis Walsh embarrassed the Irish nation last night by voting to keep the "God awful" Conway Sisters and send "not too bad" Maria home. According to my daughters (and friends), Walsh's decision was simply due to the Conways being Irish.
From what I can gather, Maria's annoyance is as nothing compared with the feelings of shame now felt by some Irish teens. Apparently, this is serious enough to warrant a "passport burning" threat.
