Mary O’Rourke to rebrand as ‘mor’
In a move that is guaranteed to send shockwaves through Irish political circles, former Fianna Fail TD and government minister, Mary O’Rourke today announced she is to undergo rebranding.
“The Mary O’Rourke brand has too many negative connotations,” lisped the former Fianna Fail minister when she was contacted by Dog In The Street.
“I don’t want people to remember me forever as the two-faced, Fianna Fail bitch who led them up the garden path over the eircom flotation,” she explained. “The new brand will better reflect my present role, patronising the nation from my position as permanent fixture on RTE and Newstalk.”
When asked how her erstwhile party colleagues had reacted to the news, Ms. O’Rourke said the reaction had been overwhelmingly positive.
“You’d almost think they were glad to see the back of Mary O’Rourke,” the self-styled ‘mammy’ of the FF party chuckled. “As a matter of fact, I told them that a rebranding of Fianna Fail itself might not be such a bad idea at all.”
And did mor have any suggestions for a new FF brand name?
“I think just plain ‘Fail’ would fit the bill,” she declared. “After all, that’s what the party is most associated with.”
