Bertie at the Tribunal
Posted on | September 14, 2007 | 28 Comments
The usual guff and flapdoodle about dollars and no dollars, Gilmartin and no Gilmartin, lies, personal upset and all the rest of the crack.
Bertie said “I have been tormented about these issues since May 8, 2000. I have waited seven-and-a-half years for this day.”
He’s never looked particularly tormented to me and why was he waiting seven-and-a-half years? Was it to tell us he’d been waiting seven-and-a-half years or was there something else? Oh, it could have been the chance to clear his name once and for all and to put all this behind him.
Erm, did that happen? Maybe it happened. If it did, please accept my apology, Mein Fuhrer.
I loved the line from the report where it said ‘Mr Ahern was applauded by about 20 people as he left the Tribunal buildings at Dublin Castle’.
Were those people inside the tribunal or did he have his own cheerleading section outside? If they were outside what sort of sad cunts are they?
And what kind of applause was it? Was it rapturous? Was it the kind of applause people burst into when a flight, buffeted by winds and turbulence, manages a safe landing? Or was it the crap applause that some people feel compelled to make at the end of a half-decent film in the cinema? What the fuck do they clap for? It’s not like the director or the actors or anyone even vaguely associated with the film is there so it’s pretty fucking pointless.
Meh, it’s just more of the same with Bertie. Lots of talk but very few questions answered in a way that makes you not want to ask them again and again.

why doesn’t someone do a “fergie” on Bertie? Everyone knows where the thieving northside cunt drinks.
Just wait outside and kick him in the nuts.
Then piss on him.

He’s a haughey fianna failer dressed in the shiny new suit of celtic tiger ‘positive’ government. The fucker will get away with it too, cause he really doesn’t believe he did anything wrong.

So, after a billion euro and ten years of hearings we’ve discovered that Bertie may have confused sterling for dollars?
Does anyone think for a moment that a guy as cute as Bertie is would get tripped up on this?
Personally, I think this Wall “donation” could be just smoke and mirrors, a honey trap to keep the hunters away from the main stash.
And didn’t Charlie comment on Bertie having taught him lessons?
OTOH, I’d rather a cute hoor like Bertie than that ginger a-hole.

I agree with One For The Road. Bertie is in dire need of a long, cruel and sustained beating. I’d pay good money to see his shiftless, venal, dishonest and foolish face get punched mercilessly and savagely, as obviously has not happened nearly enough in his life. Then it’s Ronan Keating’s turn…
Cunts the lot of them

OFTR is right. Testicle punching.

Bertie “simply cannot remember where he purchased £30,000 sterling that was used for two more lodgements” Fucking class….It seems far from simple to forget about 30K …quite an acheivement, second only to Alberto Gonzales , who strangely enough couldnt remember fuck all in his senate hearing.
The cheerleaders are to celebrate that someone with early onset Alzheimers can get a position of power…yay to equality and diversity.

Two days ago I was shocked to discover that Bertie and I share the same birthday. Oh well, bollocks to me, I suppose -but it’s a more than uncomfortable situation and unfortunately testicle bashing won’t achieve much other than some primal satisfaction.

Yes, but at least you’ll achieve some primal satisfaction.

I’d like to believe it was a slow, ironic round of applause that said: “Yeah, we believe you Bertie, course we do… DO WE FUCK!”
September 14th, 2007 @ 10:13 am
Does anyone else think that this piece of shit is just taking the piss out of the entire country? And the Irish people just roll over and accept it. Instead of laughing at this cock’s testimony, people should be hopping the barrier and attacking him in court. But I suppose this comes from the same people who voted him and his cadre back into power. Way to go, idiots.

I would willingly take a beating for Bertie. He is one of the best positions I have ever come across in my life, fair enough takes a few back-handers, ok he gives the good jobs to his mates, who wouldn’t! I wouldn’t trust any honest politician. I like my politicians bribable and cunning.
I am not trying to be controversial but I would honestly take 5 punches in the face for that great man.

I’d happily give you them.

It’s a dirty corrupt world – so who better to look after ireland’s interests?

By the way Twenty – are you participating in “Culture Night Dublin 2007″ ?

CJH had his claque at the tribunal as well, they have a sort brown smear where their lips should be.
The only way to nail him is actually not in the tribunal’s remit – did he falsely swear he had no assets in order to avoid splitting them with his then ex-missus? Hence no property, no bank account, no records, no memory etc etc to the end of time.

Anytime anyplace punk!

Bertie goes to Manchester as Minister for Finance in 1994 and say’s to the waiting audience of 30 ex-pat builders – “lads; when you’re finished eating the chicken wings; paddy the plasterer – are ye listenin’?
“When you’re finished eating the chicken wings I’ll give ye’s some advice. If I was you’s I’d buy property in parnell street and ballymun and sheriff street ‘cos I’m going to do a financial rebate thing called section 23 very soon”
allegedly
The lads all sing a song and have a whip around to give bertie a dig out. £30,000. The money is for a dig out you understand. It’s not for inside information.
allegedly

It really pisses me off that the lying cheating thieving stoat of a man gets away with it every fucking time… How I wonder??
Get him to answer the bloody questions properly… His answers weren’t satisfactory and his information was slow in coming so every one could get their stories right.. His ex-missus changed her story several times. This donation and the other loans are just the tip of the fucking iceberg… Anyone who wrote Charlie Haughey’s cheques would have to be as cute a hoor as that thieving fuck was… Even Charlie himself had Bertie christened ‘The Rat in the Anorak”
Anyway those tribunals are a colossal waste of money that serve fuck all use other than lining the pockets of those fatcat greedy cunt laywers who are just as bent as the fuckers they are chasing… SHOOT THE LOT OF THEM I SAY!

so you annoyed it wasn’t more like Boston Legal or that he just didn’t admit to anything. Fuck it sure lets just start a lynch mob and string him up.
Evidence of Wrong doing is highly overrated anyway we should convict based on personal opinion and suspicion. Of course we may find that we run out of politicians in the future but again fuck there all crap anyway.
Hold on here’s an even better idea lets all overthrow the govenment and let the country be run by us some how because were all fucking perfect and will do a much better job.

I’ve had my doubts about MacDara for some time!
September 14th, 2007 @ 2:02 pm
MacDara; we also have an unelected president; so yeah; maybe it is time for a revolution
September 14th, 2007 @ 2:59 pm
In balance: does it really fucking matter? I would be more suspicious if politicians were squeeky clean ..it just would not be normal if they were not on the graft..although Irelend could follow
1) China: death sentence for corruption or embezzlement
2) Kenya : make it illegal to invesigate corruption cases before 2002
September 14th, 2007 @ 8:33 pm
Vote for me you load of bollox and ill set you free. Ill rob you blind and tax ya for the job, ill ride your women and charge them for the job, ill lie, scheme, and cheat and sill you’ll vote me back in! Is it any wonder im mad.

[...] Ahern’s foreign exchange shenanigans may well be the first major crisis for this government, but there’s little hope of him [...]

Of course. I’ve often done that. Haven’t you?
You know the feeling when you walk into a bank with £25,000 and then you discover, fuck me sideways if you haven’t accidentally spent £161.51 on drugs and Latvian hookers.
Hello. Here’s £24,838.49.
Lodge that. Good man.
September 17th, 2007 @ 8:44 am
And can I please just point out that the £24,838.49p is not, as it appears to be, $45,000. Just making that clear.
Carry on.

The rosary bead brigade admire his highly publicized visits to the Vatican in his private jet.
When did Enda ever openly genuflect before the Vicar of Christ and beg forgiveness.?
Therefore good people are prepared to overlook his mattress stuffed with cash donations,and understood his urgent need for a secure love nest in his new life after matrimonial discord.
(Look what would have happened if he had lodged it with Northern Rock.!)
In short,the faithful still believe he is the Messiah.
The speculators,the cronies,the unions,and the farmers
KNOW he is the Messiah.!
