Does it really matter who was responsible for leaking the information about Bertie and his technicolour cheque book?
How fucking typical is it that they’re arguing more about where the info came from rather than the Taoiseach being a shifty, lying little cunt who seems to have been accumulating money and treasure like some kind of dragon?
The greatest trick the Devil ever played was convincing the world he did not exist.
Bertie the dark prince of spin
(by the way the devil doesnt exist)
(fuck that is a good trick)
it is important that whoever leaked the info is found and rewarded, cos then hopefully enough people will come forward with muck on bertie to bury him forever. going to go and poke the criminal assets bureau with a big stick as they’ve obviously fallen asleep on this one.
we (as a collective) fall for it every time..
Twenty – have used your dragon description on a Slugger comment – classic.
Any cartoonists among us who could render the Bertiedragon?
Heres the problem Twenty, all this information was given to the Mahon tribunal, The leaks are coming from there piece meal and so the questions are being asked with out all the information.
Now Should bertie have come out and made a atatement when it all came out . Ansewr yes.
Questions if he was feeling guilty or compremised about them would he have given all the details to the Mahon tribunal. Answer No.
The way the information is being published makes it look like some Journalist is discovering all this by his investigative ability when in reality it is coming directly from the Information provided by Bertie.
Now of course none of the above means that he was completely Innocent but then again none of it means he is Guilty. It is the responsibility of the Tribunal to discover if he is a crook or was just stupid about financing his personal expenses.
My biggest problem with all the leaks is that it is dragging attention away for the real issues of the election which are more important than how a person paid for a house.
After all who has even heard a politician being questioned about their extra jobs or additional police or no fucking bail for criminals. Twenty you should be worried about that one.
spot on MacDara, spot on
yep its all a smoke screen
Has anybody considered this:
Thee leaks came from the crafty cunts in fianna fail. They dont want to win this election. Think about it, the economy and housing market could go to shite very quickly, europe are trying hard to put up are corporation tax, lots of looming industrial disputes with many more to come in the public sector. After a decade of mis-management the chickens are finally coming home to roost. Why be in power when the shit hits the fan? Its much easier to stand aside and watch the other lads quirm.
Why bother dealing with all this shite when they can stand at the sidelines and tell the govt that they are fucking it up. Then in the next elections they would all but wipe out fine gael and labour thus ensuring another long time of being in bed with builders and publicans and robbing us blind in new and exiting ways.
The winners of the election will be the ultimate losers. Am i talkin sense?
Twenty we could just scrap the Tribunal process and do it all through the media. It would save a ton of money but would we ever have found out as much as we did about Haughey if we went that route – like we used to?
Is it just me, or have your comments become all long and skinny and somewhat poetic looking?
I guess that proves your point – it doesn’t matter what you say, it’s how you make it look that’s important.
Of course, poetic shite is just as if not more stinky than regular shite. Election shite, however, is a breed unto itself!
Chanchan,
It’s highly feasable. They bankrupted the country post ’77 and yet the Fine Gael/Labour coalition ended up punch drunk dealing with the repecussions of it in the 80′s. FF then come in post ’88 on the back of the Tallaght Stategy and claim the Celtic Beaver as their own.
How fucking typical is it that they’re arguing more about where the info came from rather than the Taoiseach being a shifty, lying little cunt who seems to have been accumulating money and treasure like some kind of dragon?
How fucking typical is it that the whole country has been talking about a shifty, lying little cunt who seems to have been accumulating money and treasure like some kind of dragon rather than TALKING ABOUT ISSUES THAT MATTER LIKE THOSE THAT EFFECT US.
What he did with 30 grand 10 years ago doesn’t matter a fuck to me. How the country is run does.
The Squire Hockey will never be dead – his spirit lives on…the true Fianna Fail bloodline is unbroken…protected by the Knights of Columbanus or some such. There’s a buke in there somewhere twenty. Better get going on it (Christ knows you have to come up with something to justify the 7 figure advance you got) before Dan Brown makes another gazillion squids from writing it. I think I’ll email him now.
…Taoiseach being a shifty, lying little cunt..
Politician, yes. Picture my head nodding here, works beautifully.
‘… rather than the Taoiseach being a shifty, lying little cunt who seems to have been accumulating money and treasure like some kind of dragon?’
Twenty, of course he comes from a long line of the above, one who hung out in the Waldorf Astoria during Anglo Irish War, had a large house in Blackrock and founded a newspaper (how?), two Hockey and three Aherring. Its the culture. Its what the electorate expects. Sound men with sound women behind them to do their laundering.
What has changed?
“…been accumulating money and treasure like some kind of dragon?”
More like some kind of politician
A dragotician?
Ah well, at least he hasn’t had an adulterous relationship with anyone, unlike some people we, eh, couldn’t mention…
‘What he did with 30 grand 10 years ago doesn’t matter a fuck to me. How the country is run does.’
the fact that he counts those who give him large sums of money as his friends, and he appoints people to government jobs on the basis of this ‘friendship’ has a direct impact on us. THAT is how this country is run, and it should be a cause of concern to everyone.
It was Frank Connolly – him off the Village mag and formerly of the Centre for Public Inquiry – wot done it. Revenge for the whole ruining of career, “I know what I know debacle”. Show over, on with the electoral money shots please.
Interesting that he calls them leaks and not ‘lies’.. Is that an admission?
Did our glorious leader not commit adultery with the fragrant Celia, aka Ms. Larkin, and is that not why his marriage broke up???
Course he doesn’t believe in divorce, being a right craw thumper, so chose to humiliate his wife for years bt dragging Ms. Larkin around the world with him presumably introducing her as “The First Girlfriend.”
Well said, and the worst thing about all this is that people feel sorry for Bertie instead of stocking up on dead fish from Moore St to throw at him when he’s out kissing babies. For fuck sake- he’s a sneaky, robbing bastard- not Nelson Mandela.
Dogzbollix ,
There ya are, i think we are on to something .
