We’re all Lisbonians now!!!
So, here we are. Lisbon has been passed.
After rejecting the treaty in the first place the Government played us like a fiddle. Remember that sketch in the Fast Show with the bloke who agreed with each side of the argument. For example:
“That Bertie Ahern. What a great bloke he is. I can’t wait to read his autobiography”.
“Actually, Bertie Ahern is one of the biggest cunts every to walk the earth. A more mendacious, self-aggrandising little shop steward of a cunt you’ll never have the misfortune to meet”.
“Yeah, what a cunt!”
The Irish people rejected Lisbon. The Government said “Actually, you should vote for the Lisbon Treaty. Otherwise this recession will go on forever and ever and EEEEEEEVER!” and the Irish people went “Yeah, let’s vote YES!”.
Being told how to think by one of your mates down the pub is one thing. Letting that pack of despicable, cheating, lying fuckers who have brought this country to its knees is another.
It’s a bit sad really.
Still, it’s good to know we’ve got strong opposition waiting to take over. After further revelations about John O’Donoghue’s expenses – the Cunt Comhairle has pissed away €200,000 on jaunts and race meets – Enda Kenny and Eamon Gilmore say ‘He may have to consider his position’.
Fuck me.
The pressure on him to resign should be intense, especially from opposition, but half-arsed, namby-pamby shit like ‘may have to consider his position’ makes me want to puke unti puke comes out my nose. And I hate puking.
Get this cunt out of office. If he stays as Ceann Comhairle he is automatically re-elected and the fucker doesn’t deserve that. The public deserve a chance to judge him, to show him what they think of the way he’s spent our money. If there are enough cretins who vote him back in then fair enough. And don’t underestimate the cretin count in this country. But at the very least he ought to have to go through that process.
Anyway, hope you’re all comfortable in that handbasket. Our journey has well and truly begun.

Trevor Sargent for Ceann Comhairle!
October 5th, 2009 at 10:30 am
Didn’t he resign from the Greens over going into gov with FF? Not resign but refuse to take part. Or something.
October 5th, 2009 at 10:32 am
Something, yes, he stopped being leader and took the junior minister shilling. Minister for food, I think. Ideal preparation for the CC job. And he won’t be re-elected so…

The bits from his memoir in the Sunday Times were just awful. He couldn’t come off as any more self-absorbed and clueless.
I’ll be buying the new bio on La Liz instead.

GOD – YOU SOUND SURPRISED AT THE DEPTHS OF STUPIDITY YOUR COUNTRYMEN DISPLAY TWENTY!
OR DID YOU DO WHAT I DID – PUT A SMALL FORTUNE ON A ‘YES’ VOTE WITH THE BOOKIES.. : )

October 5th, 2009 at 12:08 pm
Would you have preferred a No vote twenty?
October 5th, 2009 at 12:11 pm
No is his favourite word peadar.
October 5th, 2009 at 12:13 pm
but does he mean it?
October 5th, 2009 at 12:15 pm
This fucker Ceann Comhairle has undermined the office and should go for that alone. He won’t and the powers that be won’t force it, as they’re a bunch of spineless Cunts!
I agree with Twenty in that we must not underestimate the cretin count in this country.
Lest we forget the numbers that voted Lowry back into Leinster House. They’re all a pack of proper Cunts!
October 5th, 2009 at 12:16 pm
I would´ve preferred a no vote (based on a dislike of the treaty NOT as a protest vote). I think the fact that Sinn Fein/Coir/Jim Corr were seen to be the main opposition didn´t help much.
October 5th, 2009 at 12:26 pm
The country already voted No, Peadar. I think, whatever way you voted on it the first time, you’d be mad not to have serious misgivings about the way the treaty was railroaded through.
October 5th, 2009 at 12:34 pm
I don’t think it was railroaded through, it was just a case of people seeing sense.
A no vote benefits nobody only the loonies
October 5th, 2009 at 12:36 pm
What exactly is the difference between a Yes vote and a No vote? What would have happened if we voted No?
And why are people capable of seeing sense now and not 16 months ago?
October 5th, 2009 at 12:43 pm
My favourite quote of the weekend was from a Donegal FG TD twat blaming the rain for the no vote in Donegal.
Give that man a raise immediately.
October 5th, 2009 at 12:50 pm
Twenty, did you not see the 450,000 jobs that re-materialised the moment the ‘Yes’ result came in?
And did you not see the entire country move from the ‘dead’ position to the ‘recovery’ position on Saturday?
October 5th, 2009 at 12:50 pm
Haha, it was the rain all right.
Isn’t old Horseface Coughlan from Donegal?
October 5th, 2009 at 12:51 pm
What would have happened if we voted No?
In the short term nothing. neither will a yes vote have any immediate effect. But in my opinion Ireland needs to be as fully involved in europe as possible. The country has benefited hugely from Europe and will in the future.
And why are people capable of seeing sense now and not 16 months ago?
I’ve no idea but I’m glad they did. Perhaps all the ‘Vote No’ loonies helped
October 5th, 2009 at 12:53 pm
Goodness, Conan. I must have missed both those things. I’m not sure how.
What about the vote Yes loonies, peadar?!
October 5th, 2009 at 12:54 pm
The Donegal vote is their answer to the EU saying “…and thanks for all the fish.”
October 5th, 2009 at 12:55 pm
they weren’t quite as loony as the vote no loonies
October 5th, 2009 at 1:03 pm
Maybe I’m wrong here – but was the NO vote not in part because doubts were raised and assurances were sought and given from the EU that laid those fears to rest ?
October 5th, 2009 at 1:07 pm
The No crowd seriously undermined any credibility they may have had by basically just making up any old fear-mongering shite that took their fancy. No integrity whatsoever.
October 5th, 2009 at 1:10 pm
We’ll never know how many people changed their vote, nor how many people who voted ‘No’ last time stayed home this time, nor how many who didn’t vote last time came out and voted ‘Yes’ this time. Nor will we know the exact motivations of either of these three types of voter. However, you can be sure there’ll be lots of spin put on it by ‘Yes’ proponents.
Bottom line is (as was argued against the ‘No’ vote last time) less than 50% of the electorate voted ‘Yes’.
October 5th, 2009 at 1:34 pm
Now they claim that it was that Polish cunt Prawo Jazdy, that stole them Llamas and Goats!
October 5th, 2009 at 1:39 pm
as far as i can see the YES vote was carried because the polling stations only had pencils this time
October 5th, 2009 at 1:42 pm
This is a good point, triangle.
And I bet if you check government procurement records under the FOI scheme a tender was put out for 15,000 erasers.
October 5th, 2009 at 1:59 pm
You in UKIP triangle ?
October 5th, 2009 at 2:09 pm
People talk about the scare tactics used by the No campaign. What was “Yes for Recovery” & “Yes for Jobs” only a scare tactic, If you vote no you are against both ? CUNTS.
When France and Germany come out of recession in the next 6 months or so and money starts to flow in their economies will our Yes vote stop the ECB raising interest rates ? will it fuck.
Now we have voted Yes, Europe will move ahead without us anyway, the only 2 countries that matter in the new Europe are the two I mentioned above and they will decide eveything going forward regardless of how it effects Ireland.
Hopefully the Czech’s will hold out long enough for the Tories to get elected in the UK and if Cammeron keeps his word and holds a referendum the Brits will vote NO for sure. They wont bend over for Fritz or Louis.
Democracy is about respecting the publics vote, not making them vote until the desired result is achieved. The fact we had to vote again on THE EXACT SAME TREATY is evidence enough for me of the type of Democracy intended in future for the smaller nations in the new Union.
If you think we have been fucked by Fianna Fail and John O Donohue, wait until you see whats coming from Europe. Bend over Paddy and do what we say if you want a few bob, Harmonise your taxes, or else..
October 5th, 2009 at 2:33 pm
And there I was relieved that I wouldn’t have to listen to any more Lisbon shite…As my friend Brian says : “We are where we are. It’s time now to look forward (to the future). Lisbon is the only game in town. Where’s my pint?”
October 5th, 2009 at 2:34 pm
I was talking to my friend Karen and she said that Solitaire’s the only game in town.
Somebody’s lying.
October 5th, 2009 at 2:52 pm
She told me it was the lonely game in town. Maybe you mis-heard?
October 5th, 2009 at 2:59 pm
What’s the name of the game, does it mean anything to you?
October 5th, 2009 at 4:05 pm
It makes me wonder how much expenses FG have claimed that they don’t want coming to light – I can’t think of any other reason not to be going apeshit at the government over this one. There has to be something going on – no opposition has ever had as much mud to throw at a sitting government, and what are they doing with it?
I’m surprised more at Gilmore to be honest. He should be nailing them to the wall, if Kenny hasn’t the balls.
October 5th, 2009 at 4:15 pm
Could be worse – you could have signed up for Lisburn – second biggest shit hole in the universe after Larne. Even worse than Coleraine which takes some doing!
October 5th, 2009 at 4:17 pm
I’ve always wanted to be a lisbonian
October 5th, 2009 at 4:22 pm
“I’m surprised more at Gilmore to be honest. He should be nailing them to the wall, if Kenny hasn’t the balls.”
That’s because Howlin is the lass (sic) ceann comhairle.
October 5th, 2009 at 4:50 pm
I expect a lot of huffing and puffing about O’Donoghue, but at the end of the day the political leadership (from all parties) don’t have the balls to see anything through despite all of the talk at the minute. I’d like to be proven wrong.
Let’s see who has the balls to stick it to this free loading Cunt, and his Missus who seems to have taken to the high life as well.
October 5th, 2009 at 4:52 pm
If Gormley hasn’t had the balls to stand up to FF over the litany of shite since they’ve been in government together he’s hardly going to do it now, is he?
October 5th, 2009 at 5:01 pm
That’s true, Gormley and the greens are a bunch of political amateurs, serving only a green agenda and not of the people who are fed up with the gravy train culture that exists.
No doubt some deal will be done to keep the freeloader in his job until after the next election. Therefore keeping him on the gravy train for the next four years.
October 5th, 2009 at 5:12 pm
There was a quote from a Green member in one of the Sundays yesterday about the upcoming conference.
“We’re relevant for the first time ever. We might never have this chance again. We can’t back out”
More or less.
Good work chaps.
October 5th, 2009 at 5:15 pm
That hit the nail on the head alright, they’ll never get into power again.
Tree hugging Cunts!
October 5th, 2009 at 5:23 pm
Lads, JOD ears €5,000 a week for keeping them muppets in order. Sure any barman worth his salt ‘d do that for 1/4 that…….or whatever half a 1/4 is….
October 5th, 2009 at 5:38 pm
Hee.
No, La Liz meaning Taylor, my icon of beauty, talent and style.
October 5th, 2009 at 5:41 pm
Well if FG / Labour forced Cuntface to resign as Ceann Comhairle, FF would put the sqeeze on them to offer up someone as the new Ceann Comhairle, thus getting rid of the parity they now have in the Dail.
October 5th, 2009 at 7:48 pm
Medbh – I once heard a very disturbing story about Liz and Jacko.
October 5th, 2009 at 7:55 pm
tell the story maggot
October 5th, 2009 at 8:01 pm
Makes me suck even thinking about them peadar. Nekkid. Blech.
October 5th, 2009 at 8:06 pm
What you sucking? Are you gay?
October 5th, 2009 at 8:07 pm
Such a disturbing thought that I couldn’t type – worse than that dream with Barbara Cartland and Dana.
October 5th, 2009 at 10:32 pm
Just to say well done and thanks to all the Irish who voted ‘Yes’. This really was a day of monumental importance in European history and it’s good to know that you’ve fucked us all royally- thereby proving that you are, without a doubt, thick as pigshit. Perhaps there will be a litle less whinging and whining about the English now that you (yes you! not even your government!) have conspired to sign away the sovereignty of almost every European nation? Somehow I doubt it.
Well done Ireland!

Love to know how much he skimmed off those expenses, there’s no way he’s not on the fiddle with that much going thru the books. I’ll bet if the CAB took a look at his bank accounts there’d be a few bob he couldn’t explain. Oh wait, I forgot, that’d be in a funtioning democracy.
October 6th, 2009 at 10:15 am

I had a girlfriend with a discharge once – but it wasn’t an honourable one.
October 6th, 2009 at 1:29 pm
It was great to see that cunt Lenihan already claiming no jobs or recovery were promised by the yes side even BEFORE THE OFFICIAL COUNT HAD FINISHED!
October 7th, 2009 at 8:46 am
The reason we had a second referendum is because of functionally retarded tinfoil hat merchants voting “no” last time based on things that weren’t in the treaty, couldn’t be in the treaty, or were the opposite of what was in the treaty. Abortion? Not in it. Neutrality? Not in it. Taxation? Not in it. Last year was embarrassing watching blatent loonies sticking two fingers up about Europe claiming we didn’t need them, seemingly forgetting this is a tiny pisspot shithole country on the edge of nowhere with nothing to offer the world except massive tax breaks and shysters.
