Microphone Waving Media Burst Through Local Man’s Front Window After He Jokes To Wife ‘Maybe I’ll Run For President’

“WHAT ARE YOUR POLITICS? Define progressive? Has this always been an open marriage? Is the triple lock your favourite sex position? How strong are your political beliefs which you won’t be allowed to express once in office?”

Just some of the scatter gun questioning local man Ronan Henley was subjected to by a media scrum after joking to his wife that ‘sure maybe I’ll run for president’ as they sat in their sitting room watching the 9 o’clock news.

Smashing through the windows of the home he shares with his wife, Lorraine, the Irish media insisted on providing exposure and publicity and demanded answers to questions ‘the Irish public want to know of presidential candidates’.

“No, I was joking y’know? Every fecking eject is throwing their hat in and that, so I was saying it as a joke like,” said Henley, who had a hood placed over his head, before being whisked away in a van by the media to an unknown studio location for a series of high profile interviews on TV and radio.

The public have been warned that seemingly innocent, halfhearted mutterings about the presidency within earshot of the media could result in an individual receiving wall-to-wall coverage and interviews.

“When we became journalists, we took a solemn oath to pretend that every single person declaring themselves interested in possibly looking into maybe asking to be considered for a presidential run requires serious and substantive coverage, and I’m not about to shit on that oath,” confirmed another journalist, intensely grilling one 8-year-old who wrote a ‘If I was president’ essay as part of their homework.
