Patron Saint of Ireland and Chris Charlton

Chris Charlton: But, let's face it, for many, the celebration is a fine excuse to wear green and maybe get a little tipsy, according to Huffington Post. Charlton quickly apologized twice after retweeting a cartoon titled "Irish Yoga," which showed people passed out with bottles all around them and St. Patrick's Day is supposed to be about honouring the man considered the patron saint of Ireland. Still, NDP MP Chris Charlton learned Monday that making light of the connection between the Irish and booze, even on March 17, can offend. (www.immigrantscanada.com). As reported in the news.
