MOST POLITICIANS HAVE their trademark pose which is always identified with them.
For Brian Cowen it was rubbing his head and looking confused; for Bertie Ahern it was half-smirking half-smiling at the camera. For Enda Kenny however, it’s pointing.
Since we first noticed him doing this it seems to have turned into an epidemic. He does it constantly: in the Dáil, on the campaign trail, on the golf course, when he’s meeting people – it’s everywhere. Here’s what we mean:

He has a finger that’d give ET a run for his money. He s still a useless @#$* of course..
What’s the point?
“Ill make the criminals pay for their crimes”..absolute joker!He in fact let the biggest criminals be paid with ridiculous golden handshakes and not one person has been has had to “pay for their crimes” in relation to the fiasco that has gon eon in Ireland over the last 5 years!!Its all spin and lies.Pointy McPointerson simply doesn’t get the point full stop! *ba boom tish*
It’s about time he shoved it where the sun don’t shine, the clown.
Enda Kenny is nothing but a deluded idiot and needs to go as soon as possible!
Who still hasn’t been screwed… “ehh you over there”!
What a prat.
Seems he loves pointing at things, it’s just a shame he won’t point at a clear solution for the mess we are currently in.
“Ah go on, pull my finger”
It’s rude to point!
Are you seriously going to tell me that the leader of our Government uses a Nokia 6310 ????You can fool some of the people some of the time Enda but you can’t fool all the people all the time
Ah come off it, you’d say he was out of touch if he had the latest iPhone :P
What does the size of his Nokia gotta do with it?
Sitting behind Denis O’ Brien a few weeks back and he was using the same phone.
Best phone ever made imo. (and by phone I mean a boring old normal phone)
Why does it matter? AS long as it makes phone calls that’s all he needs…doubt he wants Facebook wherever he goes
I love to see him try to point that finger at me …. The bad manners of him.
Enda Kenny is nothing but a deluded idiot and needs to go as soon as possible! We need people in charge who understand technology and who seriously understand the real problems and needs of the people.
Kenny pointing on the golf course:
”Hey! Is that Biffo and Seanie way over there? Let’s catch up…
Caddy: ” Ya’ve already passed ‘en out!”
Point to the door and tell him not to let it hit him on the arse on the way out
untrustworthy ugly rats.
Mmmm… pointy
Did nobody tell him that it’s rude to point?
They should use that photo to bully sorry i mean encourage people to pay the house hold charge, with the slogan above Enda saying ” I know where you live “
Enda would of given Kim “our dear leader” Jong il a run for his money at pointing at things now that man could point at anything. I would of loved to see the 2 of them fighting it out like gladiators at a pointing contest. “gentlemen you know the rules, no laser pointers, no pointing sticks, no saying “that yokey bob” or “thingamajig” you can only use you’re index finger. NOW LET’S, START, POINTING!
Where’s gollum when you need him?
Edna’s a prat.
Spanner
If only he could point the way as a leader
Well spotted Christine at the journal! I know when you see them ‘steepling’ on the telly (with there fingertips touching in in like a pyramid shape) signifies an acute egomanic or a highly arrogance pose (Phil hogan does a lot of that) but will have to find out what my body language books says about the pointy finger. Could it be’ my brain recognizes what I’m looking at, but my memory won’t fill the rest of the gaps’.
It wasn’t, actually.
I was going through some old photos and found that there were loads of Enda pointing and so put the piece together. That was it. The Kim Jong Il one you’re talking about is the rather amazing Tumblr of him looking at things. But hey, maybe we’ll be able to get enough photos of Enda to do a follow-up piece on him looking at things, rather than just pointing…
Oh look a butterfly!
Lol !
We can tax that! and that! and that! and that!
ooooh……definitely taxing that!
Someone should explain to him the difference between a point of view and point and view.
‘twoud be good, if he could…point at his his own arsehole, obviously I mean a mirror.
he was pointing at his own arsehole, do you mean he was pointing at Eamon Gillmore
Ha Ha! Thought it was only me that noticed that strange trait of his. In fact, I’m planning to start up a blog called ‘Enda likes pointing at some non-specific thing or person in the distance when a press photographer is around’. I’ve found other shots of him pointing not included in your gallery above. It would be interesting to hear from some body language expert as to why he does this: does it make him feel more in charge? More purposeful? Or is he just mildly eccentric?
Enda says, ‘Lookit!’
My name is Michael Payne and I am a nosy neighbour..
Blue Steel, Ferrari and Le Tigre
Wow – so that’s where Enda got the idea from!
Ha ha aha Labhars, wicked thought, put feel for the neighbours when the lights short out.
I can’t resist it
Picture no. 9 really deserves some form of a caption competition.
Enda pointing at things and not doing much else .
Oh Lord, can’t let him out anywhere! Points and laughs at everything!! Thinks this country is a joke haha f**k off Enda Pointer Kenny… You can take the boy out of the countryside but you can’t take the countryside out of the boy smh!!! Drop party politics! Independents only!!!
Hmmm, this tinkles a bell or two…
lol, number 5 reminds me of Kenny Everett:
The point is to indicate that he recognises someone who he has screwed somewhere along the line.It comes from the old showband thing of pointing at the girls from the stage,even if they are paying no heed to you, and then closely followed by a wink and sideways movement of the head.Check out Daniel O,Donnell.
He’s lamenting the fact he’s not an ambi-pointer. He can point with the right, and with both, but not with the left. The battle for the next FG leader should be a “point off”. Noonan for the win!
have your say
