Dublin (Rooters) -- A backlash of angry responses from conservative Irishmen is being reported after Democratic Party vice-presidential nominee Joe Biden recently stated that he believes the election of Sarah Palin to vice president 'would be a step back for women.'

Told of Biden's comment, conservative Dublin bar owner Thomas James O' Hanlon IV responded, "Is that how he feels, does he? Well, I think his election would set back the Irish for decades. What does he think of that? The bastard."

One American tourist in Dublin, Naperville, IL, native Jim Dillon, responded in the same vein.

"So Senator Biden thinks Palin's election would be a step back for women, huh? Good for him. I think he sets those of us with Irish ancestry back at least 150 years. He can blow soda bread out of his ass for all I care," said the feisty Irish importer/exporter.

Dillon's business partner, Henlopen Acres, DE, native Art Vandelay, thought it was much ado about nothing.

"Who cares? He's already set back Delaware enough. What do I care about the Irish? ... You're not going to print that last part, are you?"
