Neil Diamond for Taoiseach
Now we know that Bertie’s been not declaring money to the revenue – surely even he has to see that this is the kind of thing that would force a lowly council operative to resign, let alone the Taoiseach – we have to look to the future.
Enda Kenny? No. Eamonn Gilmore? No. The PDs, hahahaha.
We need a new party. With a new leader.
It should be called the Cracklin’ Rosie Forver in Blue Jeans Party and Neil Diamond should be its leader. His second in command should be Limahl and party secretary and Minister for Smooth, Sade.
What do you mean it sounds ludicrous? We have a Taoiseach who has admitted not declaring money to the tax authorities (’a politcal donation for personal use’ indeed) but who swans about the place like he’s untouchable.
Bertie out, Neil Diamond in. Pronto.

Fuck that. Jessica Alba for Taoiseach.
February 21st, 2008 at 2:42 pm
Only apathy can save Bertie now.
Ergo, he’s safe as houses.
February 21st, 2008 at 2:46 pm
hehe , apathy rules the nation. but I don’t care.
February 21st, 2008 at 2:47 pm
I reckon Judge Judy for Taoiseach.
Do you think she’d be willing to take out citizenship here, I’m sure it ccould be arranged.
Imagine the way she’d knock that shower of idle layabouts in the Dail into shape!
I can but dream!
February 21st, 2008 at 2:47 pm
Fuck yeah, she’d be cool. At least put her in charge of the Mahon Tribunal.
February 21st, 2008 at 3:02 pm
I can just imagine the campaign trail… Brother Love’s Travellin Salvation Show!
February 21st, 2008 at 3:18 pm
I’ll second Sade for Minister for Smooth!
February 21st, 2008 at 3:20 pm
Twink for Taoiseach!
She’s only person who could top Bertie in the unpopular polls
February 21st, 2008 at 3:29 pm
having seen some of the dail debates, i’d have jerry springer as ceann comhairle
February 21st, 2008 at 3:34 pm
Why not make Dustin the Taoiseach? Or Mr Tayto? Or Ronald McDonald? Come to think of it, anyone other than that red-faced, stuttering prick would probably do a better job.
Fuck I might even run the job myself, I gonna start the “Shut your fuckin’ face and do what you’re told Party”… It’ll be very liberal, honest.
February 21st, 2008 at 3:47 pm
H
I think Bertie already heads that party??
Or where you being rhetorical. (I heard miles Dungan use this word twenty times this morning talking to Dave Fanning, am I as clever as him?)
And “preamble”, surely nobody gets to use that term more than say, once a month??
February 21st, 2008 at 3:51 pm
Sorry SAm. I thought Bertie ran the “Politicians are above the law party”
I’m always mixing those two up…
February 21st, 2008 at 3:55 pm
Awh Sweet …… Caroline, dah, dah, dah

Mr Ahern told the tribunal a lodgment of £7,000 to the account in March 1994 had been given to him by his mother. “My mother gave me £7,000 out of her account,” he said. He did not know where it came from.
“I was given it by my mother. I did not ask my mother how she got it, and I can’t ask her now,” he said.
Pure class…anybody that brazen needs to be Taoiseach
February 21st, 2008 at 4:21 pm
What a cunt. I’d exhume his mother and bring her in for questioning…
February 21st, 2008 at 4:47 pm
As Mr Diamond once sang, ‘money talks’…..
Surely there’s a way of checking whether Berties sweet grey haired old mammy had £7000 to give her impoverished son?
February 21st, 2008 at 4:49 pm
Do you think his ‘mother’ had a bank account that could be checked? I doubt it, meself.
Wait a minute, -He had a mother?
February 21st, 2008 at 5:26 pm
As Mr Diamond once sang, ‘Monkey talks’..
February 21st, 2008 at 5:27 pm
You gotta hand it to him, he always pulls that Ace from up his sleeve, like they say if he fell into shit he’d come up smelling of roses.
February 21st, 2008 at 5:28 pm
I am, I said
February 21st, 2008 at 5:32 pm
Thank you Skawgeen.

Sorry Twenty, I fuckin hate comment hijackers but it was this post that inspired me to do it!

I understand from Amazon that a certain book is winging its way across the Western Ocean as I type.
February 21st, 2008 at 6:52 pm
Rings… Licking rings… Reaching out… Rimming me, rimming yoooouuuu…
Politicians are all the same.
Having said that, sing-a-long politics could be a new fad.
February 21st, 2008 at 7:13 pm
Sorry H but Ronald Mc Donald is running for president in the Us of A. Or is it Obozo? Doesn’t matter, they’re the same. Is the law in Ireland trying to find out how much Bertie has in the offshore banks?
February 21st, 2008 at 7:27 pm
Not how much money he has, but where he got it from.
February 21st, 2008 at 7:36 pm
Is this a foul smelling piece of writing?
February 21st, 2008 at 7:39 pm
sorry wrong post,
Ill get me coat…
February 21st, 2008 at 8:51 pm
Donny Osmond, Michael Jackson and David Cassidy plus respective families would be my choice.
February 21st, 2008 at 9:04 pm
Jim Diamond for taoiseach… ‘And I-I-I-I-I-I-I…’ so far so same… ’should have known better…’ so different
February 21st, 2008 at 9:54 pm
And it only takes him all night, to set the world right bedobedo. Ireland could go to bed one night and wake the next morning to efficient public transport, better roads, a better health care system run by a minister who doesn’t look like she’s been feasting on chunks of hospital with a side-dish of cancer patients, and no church.
That Neil, he’s the man, he’s a real…a real…what’s the word I’m looking for?…Some type of a geezer…he’s a real onyx geezer, that’s it. Apples and pears etc.
February 21st, 2008 at 10:42 pm
All True.
February 21st, 2008 at 10:48 pm
Am I going crazy or did a comment just… disappear?
February 21st, 2008 at 11:08 pm
It might well be true but unless you can provide evidence it leaves me in a position where people are being potentially libelled. And it’s a can of worms I have no interest in.
February 21st, 2008 at 11:31 pm
Sade? But you’ve had the smooth operator for the past ten years.
While I think Bertie is a complete crook, it totally serves the people right for voting for the SOB. Still, it could be worse, we could have that smarmy American git Obama in charge.
February 22nd, 2008 at 12:08 am
Zippy, Bungle and George!
Or Dipsy, La-La and Po… oh wait, they’re already running the Cuntry.
February 22nd, 2008 at 12:41 am
and I thought the only songs sung blue were up here……
February 22nd, 2008 at 8:27 am
Yeah definitely Neil for Taoiseach.
Then we put Madonna as Tainiste, Amy Winehouse as Minister for Culture, Britney Spears as Minister for Finance and we could collectively call them the Diamond Dogs.
February 22nd, 2008 at 8:33 am
Someone on the radio last week said that in most countries a politician under so much scrutiny would have resigned, he then qualified that by saying one of the virtues held up by Irish Politicians was the ability to be a “cute hoor” not honesty or integrity.
February 22nd, 2008 at 8:53 am
We are a country of total idiots – he doesn’t know where he got the money but he knows he didn’t pay taxes on it – so fuck off – he was the Minister for Finance – any other country, he’d be gone – why is he not gone?? Alternative Taoiseach? – Anyone who can produce a current and past tax clearence certificates for every year they have worked. It’s not fucking brain surgery.
February 22nd, 2008 at 1:36 pm
Twenty for Taoiseach! I’d vote for ya!
April 8th, 2008 at 9:16 am
Let’s get out the vote! http://www.dustinfortaoiseach.com/
