This man is a legend

Posted on | November 14, 2009 | 23 Comments

Spotted earlier on Lexia’s Twitter, this upstanding gentleman was still outside Dubray Books when I passed by this afternoon.

Legend. The faces of the two cops looking on as nobody queued to see the scuttery little shop-steward of a cunt of a former Taoiseach were funny too.

And Bertie’s book is available online for anyone who might want it … for free.

    Do we know who he is? We should put a weekend’s worth of pints up for him in his local.

    I just noticed Marian Keyes photo in the window beside Bertie. I wouldn’t say she’s too happy with the serial-blank-cheque-signer-of-other-peoples-money beside her there. I recall listening to her giving out fuck about the fantasy whip-around boy before.

    ‘Passed by’, is it?

    I was told you were seen in the queue.

    “nobody queued to see the scuttery little shop-steward of a cunt of a former Taoiseach ”

    That’s an insult to shop-stewards.
    And cunts.

    Your sources are as accurate as this government’s fiscal predictions.

    Major, man of mystery. He could be standing beside you in a shop or bus queue and you would never know.

    Even for free, nobody has so far bothered to download Bertie’s book of bum fodder.

    Trouble is Ahern and godshite like him never get what’s coming to them. The Romanians had the right idea with Ceausescu but that’s too quick for the man with no bank account.

    The glasses were cool and he had a fantastic deep voice too.

    Howard, heh. Now that would be funny.
