Abusing the English language

Here’s how Senator Shane Ross reacted to Jim Flavin’s resignation (Morning Ireland, 2nd report)

“It’s a really sad end to a career…that started in 1976…and despite the fact that he’s now coming to a really tragic and final chapter in that he’s resigned it’s only fair to say that he’s been an extraordinary successful businessman.”

For ripping off the stock market of over €83 million Flavin has been forced to resign two years earlier than planned. That’s it; that’s the only price Flavin has or will have to pay and Ross describes that as tragic.

One wonders what word the good senator would use to describe the earthquake in China.
