Is their direct evidence that someone was trying to influence him? You cannot personaly accept money as a politician without being accused that someone is buying your influence.

You can’t accuse someone without evidence. Is their direct evidence that someone was trying to influence him?

He took money from corporate big wigs when he was the Minister of Finance. As said Minister, you should strive to conduct ethical transactions that are beyond transparency, and Ahern, by his own admission, took money from friends and lived for YEARS without even having a bank account. That's not normal let alone free of the taint of corruption. Taking money from "friends" and having no traceable financial accounts reeks of graft. You cannot personally accept money as a politician without being accused that someone is buying your influence. Also, what middle aged man in politics lives without a bank account? Kee-rist.

I'd like to see the cows impeached. Or implumed at the very least - beef in plum sauce, slurp. I dunno of course but I think "tommyrot and bunkum" are venereal diseases common in Irish politicians. Although they're responsible for their own share of guff and flapdoodling, I hear. I'd burn 'em all only that would be worse for the environment. Instead, I call for their immediate composting! “More guff and flapdoodle” is the means by which cows bums are poisoning the planet and causing global-warming. I’d like to see the cows impeached.

What's funny about it is that this entire thing is an obsession of the media. The other party leaders don't wanna talk about it, the vast majority of people in the street wanna talk about it, just the media. And irish bloggers, ever the wanna be media types, are obsessed with it too. Today in the Indo under the ELECTION 07 banner ran the headline about Celia decking out Berties house ten years ago. CELIA INTERIOR DECORATING TEN YEARS AGO. ELECTION 2007. What. The. Fuck. I don't like Fianna Fail, but all this muckraking would almost drive me to vote for them, just to see how you would explain it. And let it be clear, no one can actually point out the CORRUPT parts of this. sure theres something strange. But corrupt? Where!? EVIDENCE PLEASE! Haha..im finding it increasingly hilarious all these “corruption” charges.
