Monday Morning Blues

Hi,

Today, i was blue returning to work.
You see, I'm kind of a news junkie. News is my drug of choice. Cocaine, nicotene or alcohol - they're not for me.

Oh but give me news, glorious news.

It was with great delight that I sat in my office, transfixed at webcasts of der bertie announcing his exit from political leadership.
I trawled the net, looking for outside coverage of the man's fall from power.
I went to online editions of the Washington Post, New York Times, etc as well as Reuters and the associated press (AP).
I was over the moon about what I saw.
Headlines appeared in front of me saying things like "Irish PM quits amid sleaze allegations" and "Ahern is forced out over financial controversy"
Now, I think that sleaze may be a bit wide of the mark but my delight stemmed from the fact that Ahern was being written about abroad as he would have prayed he would not have been.

Bertie has a notion in his head that he is an internationally great statesman. He believes that he holds some sway over the likes of the USA, UK, Germany, France and so forth. That is why he brings a bowl of shamrock to the White House with a stupid grin on his powdered face. It is why he wore a hideous suit that even I know was wrong and I have the fashion sense of a hobo.
It was wonderful to see that the foreign press swooped down upon his hideous lies and found him out for what he is - a criminal who should be imprisoned for what he has done to this country.

Now, I don't believe in writing epitaphs for criminals but I will be sure to write one hell of a post in May when the tribunal uncovers a whopper of a lodgment in the name of our fuhrer.
As for Brian Cowen? I reserve judgement. I would like to see how he handles the impending recession before I proclaim him to be a great and wonderful leader or conversely hang him out to dry before he has a chance to prove himself.
What I will say is that Enda has his work cut out in dealing with a far more abrupt and sharp man who is not illiterate or stutters like a drunk. And for a man who has all the charisma of a cockroach, that can't be good

Bertie's sentimental schmuck

Hi,
It was noteworthy that Bertie yesterday launched another broadside attack on the Mahon tribunal.
Bertie is now safe in the knowledge that his political career may no longer be damaged as it is effectively over.
However, not content with this, Bertie delivered an attack on the tribunal's awful treatment of his former secretary Gráinne Carruth. Yes, you remember her. The girl who was paid 60 odd pounds a week to do his dirty work.
Bertie described the treatment of said secretary as low life stuff. not as low life as Bertie himself mind.
Bertie once again went for LCD TV. That's lowest common denominator, in case anyone is thinking I'm about to get in the debate on LCD vs Plasma. This is neither the time or the place.
Not content with thanking people for sending him mass cards at the time of his mother's death during his emotional speech on Wednesday, Bertie spoke of the awful treatment of this woman who had three children and was made to come back to the tribunal on Holy Thursday of all days.

Now this crap might wash with some of you but not with me. Is this the same man who left her out to dry during Easter week? Is this the same man who paid a young woman £66 a week when she probably needed the money? Is this the same man who caused Gráinne to be at the tribunal in the first place because he told lies? You bet ya it is! The same crooked criminal who did all these things is now being hypocritical enough to come out and go on the attack to defend her.
Too little and certainly too late.

Oh, and dearest Enda, you moron. Wednesday proved once and for all how poor a politician this man is.
I am convinced that Enda probably spent the last three weeks organising a great speech to attack Bertie with when they entered the Dáil on Wednesday.
Unfortunately for Enda, an illiterate snake out throught him and resigned. Unfortunately again for Enda, he did not have a few weeks to think of a response. Instead, Enda looked like a rabbit caught in some awfully big headlights.
Enda then asked for a general election so Fianna Fáil could get a new mandate. Enda, my good man, you'd still manage to screw that up to provide them with victory. Although my ballot paper would provide a vote for neither party and it will never again for that matter, there are thousands of idiots that are just waiting for guidance from whoever provides it. Fine Gael don't do that. For anyone.

I also notice today that good old Bev has been reinstated to the grand party. It seems that when one crook goes another must take their place. Mayo must be so proud of having Beverly back. She is a wonderful politician who is married to another criminal proving there is honour among thieves. The party clearly thrives on corrupt people. Obviously with the quota of corruption being unfilled, room was made for one more criminal. Welcome back Bev, Junior ministry anyone? Perhaps in the dept of finance?
Good Day to you all

Why get rid of an innocent man?

Today, Bertie Ahern announced his retirement as Taoiseach and leader of the Fianna Fáil party.
This was done despite my post a few days ago, which showed various reasons why Bertie is the greatest leader this country, if not the world, has ever had.
Bertie appeared in front of TV cameras with his usual teary-eyed demeanour for when he has to prey on the emotions of idiots.
He threw in the obligatory 'voice breaking I'm on the verge of crying' bit as well for good measure.
He patted himself on the back for all his great achievements in Ireland since he was born.
All in all, he made the whole world sit up and listen to his moronic protestations of his innocence of any crime.
Let's be clear here. Bertie is a CRIMINAL.
He did not resign because he was thinking about it for a while but rather because he his position was untenable.
Bertie Ahern must go back to the tribunal in May and then we will see the greatest bombshell the tribunal uncovers thus far.
Bertie has left now because he was pushed by senior figures in the party who know that if he was still Taoiseach at this time, he would collapse the government causing another general election to be necessary.
Bertie may yet spend time in prison for what he has done. £350,000 is the tip of the iceberg as far as payments are concerned, believe me.
Bertie will be dragged through the gutter before this is done and Fianna Fáil didn't want to go along for the ride with him.
It was the senior figures in the party who also told Gormless and Harney to come out against the Taoiseach, further forcing his hand.
Believe me, this will all become clearer in the coming months.
Stay with me on this one.
Don't cry for your Taoiseach's demise because you'll feel like a fool when you find out what he has done.
