Labour European election candidate has a dig at Luke Flanagan and Dustin the Turkey in one tweet

Whatever about having a pop at the TD, leave Dustin out of this...

Labour Senator Lorraine Higgins has ruffled a few feathers tonight with this tweet about her rival in the European Midland-North West constituency, Luke 'Ming' Flanagan.

Electing @lukeming to the European Parliament is as useful as sending Dustin the Turkey to the Eurovision! pic.twitter.com/mFmtgSHodr — Sen Lorraine Higgins (@LorHiggins) May 7, 2014

It is true that Dustin didn't have the best time in Eurovision but most Irish acts have struggled in recent years and as we all remember, he probably would have been elected President of Ireland a few years back, if he had been on the ballot of course. We await to see what Luke, or Dustin, come back with on Twitter. Thanks to Thomas Curran for sending our way...
