Petty politics

So Trevor Sargent resigned. Conspiracies abound. Was it:

a ) Fianna Fail looking for revenge for the shafting of Slick Willie

b) Fine Gael looking to make it look like Fianna Fail were looking for revenge for the shafting of Slick Willie

c) The Greens trying to make it look it like they had some kind of moral compass and when an issue came up they’d resign straight away instead of clinging on like a desperate rat like Slick Willie

Personally, I think it’s A although I wouldn’t rule out B. C we can discount straight away because even the Greens know at this stage that nobody believes they have an ounce of morality over anything. If they can support NAMA an ill-advised letter to the cops is hardly a big issue.

If it is A then it’s just more proof that FF are more interested in getting their own back than running the country. B I don’t have a big problem with if that’s the case. It’s stuck another hole in the bow of the leaky boat and the more holes there are the sooner it sinks.

What’s clear though is that none of them really give a fuck about anything other than being in government. Not to effect change, not to do what the people elected them to do and act in their best interests, just to be in power and have cars and the money and the women and piles of cocaine and Swarovski dildo/butt plug combo.

The sooner this shambles of an administration comes to an end the better. I’m looking forward to the all new shambles FG and Labour will create. At the very least it’ll provide some new material.

    99% it was the pigs who leaked it

  6. The Cap'n says:

    Luckily with all the legal reforms introduced whichever party gets in at the next election won’t be able to be so openly corrupt.

    If anybody wants me I’ll be on the Cliffs of Moher with my binoculars watching the flocks of pigs return for the summer.

    For ‘C’ to apply, you need a bigger pay-off at the outset of the game, unless of course it is modeled as a ‘nested’ game rather than a simple two level one. So the correct answer is ‘A’. The correct answer is always ‘A’

  8. V says:

    …and fuck Ayn Rand

  9. P.C. Plod says:

    I read McWilliams Article
    I d’ont like the man
    But he knows what he’s talking about

  10. Crank says:

    I’d go for A as well, Twenty. Although the last 2 weeks shenanigans have certainly taken the heat off the George Lee extravaganza.

    The fact that Trevor resigned and stays in the Dail must make the backbenchers think that they can do what they like, that probity is only required when you’re a minister… if you’re caught.

    The fucking Dail is becoming like the Indian parliament – full of criminals, perjurers, corrupt politicians, tax evaders, drunk drivers, etc. etc. If I was sitting in Mountjoy, I’d be well jealous.

    Fuck Ayn Rand?
    Whatever.
    I’m a peasant with no third level education, so I have to figure shit out for myself.
    I’m a fan of Rand.

  13. jamesy says:

    Sheesh.
    My original post was in response to the Frontline Students the other night. I was reminded of this speech from a novel…the “creed of unearned rewards”etc.
    Also applies to the FF sense of entitlement, I think.
    That’s all.

  14. Fill3rup says:

    I just put the link up there incase anyone on here wasnt familiar with Rand..
    I wasnt having a go..

    I think it was D – a civil servant suffering wage cuts in the Department of Agriculture. Don’t forget the Herald have a copy of the letter he sent to the constituent as well.

  16. Crank says:

    That’s an interesting point Conan. One wonders whether an escalation of the Civil Service action might see further laundry being aired in public to embarass government ministers.

    I’m sure there’s acres of cupboards filled with skeletons that could be unleashed. Bring on the dogs of war!

    What’s wrong with a bit of spite and revenge ?

  18. Crank: I’d love to see it happen, but I doubt it.

    Breaking News from the Health Department:
    A civil servant provides proof Mary Harney’s expenses include €10,000 per month for M + M’s.

  19. peadar says:

    chocolate or peanut?

  20. Fill3rup says:

    chocolate obviously..its far from Peanuts she was reared…

  21. Conan Drumm says:

    You’re right Fill, twas Harney infamously said that if our politicians were paid peanuts we’d get monkeys running the country. She left out the bit about well paid monkeys…

  22. Fill3rup says:

    It think the exact qoute was
    If..nom nom.. politicians were paid..nom nom peanuts we’d get monkeys running the country..nom nom nom.

  23. …nom nom nom…

    Was oral sex interrupted to give the quote?

  24. Fill3rup says:

    Well,id say eating is quite sexy for Mary so yes..yes it was.

  25. DD says:

    Harney performing oral sex?

    Take her teeth out first.

  26. The Cap'n says:

    Mary’ alright. Bombed off her tits mind, but Mary’s alright.

  27. peadar says:

    Her mouth would even make my massive cock look small

  28. Fill3rup says:

    my cock looks small compared to an airfix army mans

    Fixed and fixed

  29. maggot says:

    Sniffs – filth when we are discussing the end of civilization as we know it.

  30. Crank says:

    Careful chaps, maggot’s very ‘fond’ of Mary H. You’ll start a row (and it’ll go on and on for hours… using up all Twenty’s bandwidth).

  31. peadar says:

    shush, don’t mention bands

  32. maggot says:

    Careful chaps, maggot’s very ‘fond’ of Mary H.

    Used to be until I discovered Peadar had been there.

  33. Twenty Major says:

    You don’t fool anyone. We know you’d stir Peadar’s porridge.

  34. maggot says:

    yuk yuk yuk – no chocolate speedway for me!

  35. peadar says:

    Maggot’s a sick cunt. Not only would he stir it, he’d eat it

  36. maggot says:

    Peadar-Aids ? No thanks!

  37. V says:

    Rand won’t give you what you want. She was a nutbag. Try ‘Nozick’, at least you’ll have to engage ‘Rawls’ on the way.

    An Ahern trap to weaken the Greens and stick a further feather in his leadership bow. How come the fucking letters are up on RTE already? Meanwhile the Green’s have to shut up while the opposition can be sucked into saying something daft. The report will obviously not contain the political link.

    It’s sort of beautiful in it’s viciousness.

  38. peadar says:

    PeadarAid. sounds like an energy drink

  39. Crank says:

    Also know as ‘Green Bull’.
