Something made me think the wording of Mr. O'Neill's opinion of Mr. Reagan was rather odd for a Wikipedia entry, even though I thought it was an accurate description of his feelings. Googling some of the key terms, I found much of this entry has been lifted wholesale from the NY Times' obituary for Mr. O'Neill. Opusaug 23:31, 11 April 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Lecture
I am not sure, but I think I heard of something called the "Tip O'Neill Lecture". I don't know what it is exactly - any ideas? Of course, I may have imagined it but if someone found that it did exist, would it be good to add it to the article? Paddyman1989 00:15, 19 January 2007 (UTC)
Wasn't it Tip O'Neill who first called Social Security a "third rail" issue in American politics? ydesai2008 20:28, 29 April 2007 (UTC)
Why is a discussion of the grassy knoll theory included in the section entitle fast rise in the House. These have nothing to do with each other. Also, I don't know a great deal about his specific relation to this issue, but if the only information regarding it is that he had a meal with a Kennedy staffer it should be changed. 24.192.99.240 20:18, 9 May 2007 (UTC)Adam
[edit] Hardball reference
"In the Book Hardball by Chris Matthews Tip O'Neill is used about as frequently as the word "the"." Although this is pretty accurate and funny. I think it should be worked in the article better.
[edit] Kennedy Theories
O'Neill's involvement in the Kennedy issue (O'Donnell, etc) is not significant for O'Neill. I'm therefore removing the information. Perhaps it has a place in the O'Donnell entry, or on a page discussing Kennedy assassination theories. Gabrielthursday 12:26, 23 August 2007 (UTC)
