Having just finished reading today’s Sunday Tribune I’ve got to doff my cap to Ken Foxe whose work in exposing the politicians expenses stuff has been top class.
These people lived the life of Reilly with our money and it’s nothing short of a disgrace. The exposé today on Mary Harney should bring about her resignation. This is the woman who, as Tánaiste, said the country was ‘awash with money’. She’s obviously done her best to spend as much of it as she could.
Today’s Tribune is essential reading. From Harney to Bertie to John Gormley using a limo service at Heathrow like the much maligned (rightly) John O’Donoghue, it’ll get you angry. But maybe anger is what we need to finally hold these people accountable for the way they have raped this country. Go out and buy the paper.

Having read a review of the easy ride Bertie dollar/sterling/euro “it’s my money” Ahearn got on The Late Show; and the applause and laughter from the audience…all this exposure means nothing. The vast majority of Irish people are thick cunts and enjoy getting fucked over. I wanted to hear that someone on the audience fucked their shoes at Ahearn, a la Irazqi journalist dude. This country is dust.
scurrying out the door for the turbine now
& one other thing. If any stupid cunt tells you ” ah, sure, they’re all the same”; first off, punch them in the face, then give them a link to Garrett Fitzgeralds article in The Irish Times yesterday.

I envisioned a smelly, muck caked green welly flying into the side of O’Donoghue’s head launched by a reporter from the Farmers Journal
Surprised at Kevin Myers

So many words when he could have just written “I’m a cunt” instead.
John Waters in the IT has been getting on my tits.

Don’t mention tits to John. He’ll go fucking apeshit. You mention anything about women to JW and he goes gaga. Kevin Myers is like a pompous fool; he is Irelands equivalent of Foxnews; full of steam; no subtance.
Back to the hoovering
mmmm
hoovering
Myers is a mumbling* twat. He always goes against the majority opinion to get a rise out us.
*his mumbling made Challenging Times impossible to watch.
He does seem a Magdelenian Catholic Itchy. Was gushing about Ireland needing a visit from Benedict.
“We are just about ready to have this most brilliant of men come look us in the eyes and tell us what he sees.”

I have been following Ken Foxes articles in the Sunday Tribune, and I have to take my hat off to him for his tenacity. He’s sticking with it, and reporting the facts, and causing rumblings throughout the political system.
I’d say Gilmore will have him on his Xmas card list, as he’s the one to come out of this debacle as the most natural leader.
It’s well worth every cent of the €2.50, though I suspect the cunt will be a marked man by every cop car in the country. I recommend that he pack some KY jelly for the amount of politically motivated cavity searches, and random breath tests that he will no doubt be subjected to in the months ahead.
Damien. I do wonder about cops being used by certain unsavoury politicians to intimidate people. I’ve long suspected a very dark side to politics in this country.
Wasn;t there a fuss about that in Donegal HM ?
That Cunt Ahearn was on the Andrew Marr show on BBC 1 this morning, hawking his fucking book. He was introduced as “the man credited with causing the celtic tiger economy”.
I’m surprised at Marr for giving him such an easy ride, he fucked Gordon Brown over pretty bad a couple of weeks back.
itchybollix is right, they are not all the fuckin same & the problem in this country is there are thousands of Thick Cunts going around saying this & they are the cunts that will vote FF again & again.
Just watch the thick cunts in this country elect that Fucking Criminal Cunt Ahearn president.
Call me a cynic/sceptic or most likely a realist based on recent evidence. I do believe that ‘all power corrupts absolute power corrupts absolutely’.
Note to self: time to make up another batch of fridge magnets…
True Maggot. Dirty bastards.
Ahern probably will be elected. There’s plenty of two faced cunts out there who’ll say one thing in the pub or outside mass and then go and do the very opposite when nobody can see them. We are inherently dishonest and corrupt. We need a major shift in thinking in Ireland. Integrity in business and government is very poor. People who try are branded as trouble makers or laughed at. Everyone is trying to pull a fast one because that’s what’s being done to them.
We act like a province not a nation.
1916 was a disaster for Ireland HM.
Itchybollix and Twenty should be elected co-leaders for life of Oirland!
However – it will never happen and in twenty years time the peasantry will still be friping in their pints.
And, much as I hate to admit it – over the last twenty five years of educating certain sectors of the intelligentsia here regarding Irish history and the background to our modern day psyche I have come to a point where I have to say – your last comment is absolutely correct maggot.
We’re too maudlin for our own good.
We need a good riot like iceland had. For starters. They were considered maudlin too until they started fucking youghurts at their political leaders.

There is always hope. I think. A bit schizo on the outlook today. I’ll go and lie down again for a while
To the GPO lads!
I just came across a club for Mary Harney (mentioned on the back page of the turbine)

After the snooker, see you there.
The sparkle went out of snooker when Terry Griffiths retired – it became slow and boring.
Re Damien: “I suspect the cunt will be a marked man by every cop car in the country. I recommend that he pack some KY jelly for the amount of politically motivated cavity searches, and random breath tests that he will no doubt be subjected to in the months ahead.”
Yes, sort of reminds me of the 2001 situation. O’Donoghues state car was stopped for speeding and his missus was on board. She was coming from a very important function ( GAA final )
The Garda who stopped the car had some pretty shite career luck after that. Total coincidence I’m sure. Not only should that fuckwit be banished from politics, but his decisions as Justice Minister need to gone over in detail. Any bollocks who is an economic enemy of the people needs checking across the board.
I guess we can always dream.
Sequester the pensions of all these fuckers, at least until the State has the money back, with interest.
Oh wait… FF, the Greens, friendly independents and former PDs are still running the country. Mary Harney is still Minister for Health. The pigs’ snouts are still in the trough.
The continuation of Harney in the role as Minister for Health when the party she represented is dead is a huge folly.
And did you see Tom Parlon’s expenses yesterday? Over €80,000 in one year for travel and subsistence alone.
Would it be unfair to speculate that a large percentage of that money was trousered?
Now Twenty, as Mary Harney once famously said about paying politicians properly, “If you pay peanuts you get monkeys.”
Someone misunderstood her and has been paying monkeys very handsomely ever since.
I’m sure Tom Parlon only took what he was entitled to take, which explains why he’s so noisy these days about the cost of the public service, he has insider information.
You see you don’t have to eat lunch, to get lunch money. You don’t have to buy a train ticket to get travel money. You don’t have to do a reasonable job to get paid over €100,000 a year. Apparently there’s nothing ‘wrong’ with that, it’s the system.
Leave Mary Harney alone twenty. That’s not a subsistence allowance she gets, it’s a subsidence allowance.
Gordon Brown to repay £12,415 expenses
Prime Minister Gordon Brown will repay £12,415 after an independent audit of all MPs’ expenses claims since 2004.
Downing Street confirmed he would repay the money, largely for cleaning and gardening, even though the claims had been within the rules at the time.
It said auditor Sir Thomas Legg had “deemed” that any annual claims above £2,000 for cleaning and £1,000 for gardening should be repaid.
Some MPs are annoyed that new limits are being applied retrospectively.
Conservative leader David Cameron has been asked by Sir Thomas to provide more information about payments for which he over-claimed in 2006 when he changed his mortgage. He had already repaid £218.
Lib Dem leader Nick Clegg is to repay £910 of the £3,900 he claimed for gardening between 2006 and 2009.
SNP leader Alex Salmond is repaying £710.88 for removal costs, which he claimed when he gave up his rented flat in London in 2007. He has also been asked to supply more information on £2,610 claimed for hotel stays.
Chancellor Alistair Darling is to repay £554 he claimed towards a chest of drawers to furnish his second home. He claimed £1,104, but Sir Thomas has imposed a limit of £550 for such items.
Meanwhile, shadow chancellor George Osborne has been asked to provide copies of his mortgage interest statements. It is understood that he has not been asked to repay any money.
Sir Thomas, a former civil servant, was asked to scrutinise all MPs’ claims after the furore when details were leaked to the Daily Telegraph in May.
Expenses approved by the Fees Office have been questioned since details of the claims broke and the old system is widely agreed to have been discredited.
Garret FitzThatcher is a blueshirt cunt but has to be commended all the same for his attitude towards expenses. Don’t think Bertie will land the Áras as easy as he thinks, I know an awful lot who used to worship the man, now they want to pike him to death.
