Enda was pretty much useless, pity.
But it also confirmed my suspicions that he is an evil souless robot from Hell. The man HAS NO SOUL. His voice sends a chill down my spine. His eyes…HIS DEAD EYES!
I wanted to burst in kick both useless fuckers in their willies and rescue beautiful Miriam…

Only saw it on silent in the pub and thought that Bertie’s body language was all “who the hell are you, ya young pup?”. In spite of all the boring usual defamatary comments here, Enda didn’t look too bad.
Still won’t vote for Deirdre Clune after she cried like a baby when she didn’t get voted in last time.

Does anybody else thing Bertie was looking at Miriam and thinking “I’d love a go on that”?
I was.
May 18th, 2007 at 8:03 am

Not when she was making that face (above), Andy. Anyway, he’s had a Miriam already … move on, move on.

Well Mr. Teflon managed to jump out of the frying pan and back in the race. Not sure if he was good or just that Enda was so bad?

The thing that got me was at the end where Kenny closed out in Irish, and as a speaker, it was clear he had full command of the language, not in the “I’m making a statement with my shite Irish” in the Gerry “I’m a murderer” Adams way.
Bertie was completely thrown, and when Miriam closed the debate, you could hear bertie sheepishly mangle “go raibh maith agat”.
It was a small thing, but I think it will resonate with a few people.
On the whole, I think Ahern didn’t deliver a knockout - its as you were with the alternative still having the momentum.

Yeah, that was fucking funny.
“Look, I can speak Irish too!”
May 18th, 2007 at 10:19 am

I loved that too. I also laughed when Enda was listing off Health problems and said the hospital in Tralee are using 30 year old equipment and Bertie mumbled “sure the hospital’s only been open 20 years so I dunno where there getting 30 year old equipment.”

Did anyone notice too that the nose shadows on both their faces gave them little Hitler mustaches? Such shoddy lighting from RTE again.

Im not impressed one bit by either of them speaking Irish. Makes no odds to me, won’t put my ailing mother in a hosptial bed, etcetra, etcetera….

FROM :http://www.bonsecoursireland.org/hospitals/tralee/
“Bon Secours Hospital, Tralee has been serving County Kerry for more than 80 years. Throughout that …..”
So Bertie was just lying then when he said the hospital was only 20 years old.According to the hospital website, its 80 years old.Proves that the debate was just about cheap point scoring, neither of them could really back up much of what they were saying

WooWoo you are still a cunt.
What evidence do you have that Adams is a murderer?
None? So shut the fuck up then!

He has a beard like the Yorkshire Ripper’s. That can’t be mere coincidence, VoT.

Whats the big deal about finishing in Irish?
Who gives a fuck if the cunt can speak irish?

By the way, we should all be proud of our language. It saddens when every other nation is bilingual except us. Even the feckin Welsh.
May 18th, 2007 at 12:15 pm

What about the English?
May 18th, 2007 at 12:18 pm

Are we English?

I agree Twenty.
We’ve left our language die and refuse to revive it. It’s such a huge part of a culture and its shameful when you see other nationalities able to converse in their own tongue as well as English and we can barely ask to go to the toilet in ours.

All to do with the way it’s taught, if you ask me. They make you hate it.

Exactly, they need Hector to be teaching Irish in schools these days. “Anois class, táim ag leppin about like I was on yokes.”

God, Enda was such an amateur. It was like a master and a pupil performance - no fudging from Bertie on this occasion. He tied Enda in knots.
May 18th, 2007 at 1:10 pm

Enda’s cupla focal was both gratuitous & excruciating! A cheap shot and made me cringe! Bertie was thrown but his look said it all..utter bewilderment at this gobshite opposite….and at least Bertie was sincere in his bewilderment! I’m not a fan of either man as they haven’t got an ounce of vision between them but Kenny is the more irratable by a considerable margin.

Hey Treason, we all know Adams is a murderer and so is his mate RatBoy Mcguinness and all the rest of the of muttering inbreeds!!!

There is no proof that SF murdered Robert McCarthney.
There is no proof that Martin McGuinness was the leader of SF in Derry.
There is no proof that Mad Dog Adair directed the murder of innocent people.
Its still doesn’t fucking mean it ain’t so.
Wheres the proof hes not a murderer?
I may be a cunt, but you support murderers. I can look at myself in the mirror everyday woithout throwing up on myself.

This election is a joke. Between that Liberal Mc Dowell mounting lamposts and the two prosepctive leaders of the country esposuing their left wing policies last night they’d drive you to despair. At least my policies are honest, if rabidly right wing and bordering on fascist. I’ll tackle the criminals by fighting fire with fire - literally - anyone earning over 100k will be provided with semi automatic weapons for the purpose of self defence.

I don’t like either of them much, but I thought Enda was relaxed and in control while Bertie was in a flooster, especially for the first half an hour. Enda’s Irish was very good, and why shouldn’t he speak it and show that he can speak it. Bertie’s ol’ go raibh maith agat at the end made him look like an eejit. I think that our Taoiseach should be able to speak Irish. As for the teaching of Irish putting people off - I agree completely.

Ahern wouldn’t shut up and let Kenny get a full reponse in, which defies the standard of the debate as a forum designed to let each speaker take turns holding the floor.
He should have been told to be quiet.
I noted some of their choice exchanges in a post today, but Enda needed a bit more fire in the belly.

Bertie was shitting himself for the first part, afraid that all the scandals like the house money, the mistress, the builder mates, the cost of his make up, was going to be thrown in his beautifully painted face.
Pity he still looked like a pompous crook with a lot to hide,though!
I hate him because of his dishonesty and his sly friendship with Charlie Haughey,among other things.
Don’t forget it was Bertie that gave that lying thieving bastard a state funeral.
Talk about sticking two fingers up at the rest of us, we had pay for that shit!
I’ll vote for Enda Kenny, he couldn’t be any worse than the shower of robbin wankers we have now!

Youz all wasted a hefty chunk of your lives watching that tripe on TV… I don’t have cable so I spent that slot bettering my life by biting my toenails. I bet I feel a hell of a lot more fulfilled than youz!!!

Enda reminded me of those pompus Irish speakers of the eighties when they looked down on you because you could not speak the language. Yes it is good to be able to speak Irish and it is growing again due to TG4 putting out good programs and people like Hector but it remains a fact that most of us dont speak it so why the fuck did he make his final statement in Irish. Just to embarass us because we did not have a clue what he said. Anyway fair fucks to him for having one ability Bertie doesnt because he fucking has no other.
And by the way whats wrong with using the odd focal, isn’t better to use as much as you have than not even try.
Slan go Foil.

Hold on a second WOOWOO,
Get off your fuckin high horse will ya.
Dont be so offended by Gerry the big bad murderer. Wasnt there a bit of trouble up there??
Wernt people getting burned out of their homes by a hostile state and a hostile government ?? all other sorts of shite was going on too but i would be here all day if i got into that.
These kind of things get people annoyed and they defend themselves. This hardens peoples attitudes and this can lead to war. Do you think everyone whoever took up arms to defend themselves or fight oppression are murderers? How bout evryone who fought Hitler ? are they murderers too? Wise the fuck up !

Chanchan, the IRA and other factions of Irish society supported Hitler, as did the Catholic church!!!

Size ten,
Fair cop but im on about the provos in the late 60s and early 70s. They were rough times and certain things had to be done.I am not defending the murder of Mccabe but i wont go on about it.

‘you support murderers’.
that’s a stupid, cheap jibe when seen in the context of FF’s support for the US attack on Iraq. Bertie defends Irish participation (by way of shannon) as a way to keep US corporations happy. I suppose most people here share his lack of principle? I mean, fuck Iraqis, let’s buy another SUV.
One other thing, SF/IRA were not alone in their activities, tho’ i’ve yet to see the loyalist gangs or the british army condemned on this site.
