Dustin… plucked!

Dustin the turkey came unstuck in Serbia tonight, as Norway plucked the final place from under the thoroughly stuffed puppet’s nose.
Thank God!
I’ve always been a dustin fan, but I couldn’t believe Ireland actually put forward a puppet to represent the nation — even if it was the Eurovision. It was always a joke… and a bad one at that.
To be honest I couldn’t care less about the Eurovision — but even as a blow-in I do care deeply about Ireland’s international reputation. My daughters are Irish to the core, and while there’s a lot that can be improved upon, there’s also a lot to be proud of in this fine nation. Entering a stuffed turkey in the Eurovision isn’t one of them.
So it’s “Irelande, Nil Pointe”… and all the better for it.
Now maybe Dustin can focus his energy on something useful… like running for Taoiseach!
