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.

Fianna Fail has shown a modest increase in popularity in a recent poll. I do wonder why this is.

Perhaps it is the sterling way in which they managed the country during the cold weather? You know, the way the airport was closed because a few cms of snow, the education minister closing the schools for no good reason at all, the transport minister sunning his bollocks somewhere else when the roads were impassable and we ran out of grit and the inability to provide basic public services.

Maybe it was when large swathes of the country found themselves without running water that they decided Fianna Fail was the party for them. When, in 2010, a European capital city doesn’t have water it really does wake you up to what a good job the adminsistration is doing.

I wonder if the Taoiseach’s supplicant, craven response to the Vatican over the obstructive behaviour of the Papal Nuncio had a part to play too. Nothing displays leadership like fawning all over an organisation that has systematically raped and abused children for decades without ever being held accountable.

I wouldn’t be surprised if it were the decision to hold the banking inquiry in private and their ability to bitchslap their government partners, The Greens, that got people back on side. The Greens say “We want this! We won’t stand for that”, and end up crawling away, tails between their legs, thanking their lucky stars that “that” was all they got and not a box in the ears to go with it.

Is it the piece of financial genius that is NAMA that will cast us all into debt so we can bail out corrupt, useless banks like Anglo, while the same coterie of executives who got us into this mess are tasked with getting us out of it with not the prospect of even one prosecution in sight? The ordinary investors who gambled, admittedly, and lost are left without their life savings, the bankers get their money back and another turn. It’s hard to see how that wouldn’t draw people back in.

Are we overlooking the fact a government minister compared being followed around by the press to violent sexual assault, saying he feared ‘waking up every day and being raped’? If that didn’t generate the rightful amount of sympathy for poor Martin Cullen then we are a heartless lot and no mistake. I hope the Rape Crisis Centre took time away from those people who had actually been raped to help him out. Priorities, and all that.

I mean, all those things, and more, would make a man foolish if he chose to ignore them and continued to seek change in the way his country was run.

Or maybe the FF supporters who were just embarrassed to admit to poll-makers that they were still FF supporters, no matter how corrupt, no matter how dangerously, life-treateningly incompetent their party were, are now filled with the courage of their convictions once again.

The cunts.

Fianna Fail and the Greens are going to begin talks today on a new programme for government. No, seriously. They are.

This is like Hitler and Co sitting down to being talks a new programme for holocaust.

Here’s an idea, FF and the Greens, and I’ll save you all the time in the world. Look back at what you’ve done since you came into power. Now do the fucking opposite.

This government has the reverse Midas touch. Everything they go near turns to shit.

These talks are all down to the Greens, by the way. They demanded them when it became clear Ireland had become a nation with streets paved of poo. Check this though:

They are also expected to push for the implementation of more green policies as the price for keeping Fianna Fáil in power despite its unpopularity with the public.

Isn’t that fucking marvellous? We’ll get a carbon tax, some other tree-hugging load of bollocks brought in by the Greens, and they think this is acceptable, that people are in any way interested in Green policies. Clueless, spineless, shameless cunts, the lot of them. They know if there’s an election they are fucked. Properly fucked, like a 13 year old in Roman Polanski’s chamber.

So, they stay in power, allowing the worst, most corrupt, most incompetent administration this nation has ever known to continue making a fucking balls of everything, just so they can get a few more Green policies brought in. They ignore the fact that the general public are far more worried about important things, like taxes, jobs, unemployment, health, mortgages, pay cuts and everything else brought about by this recession.

It’s very easy not to give a fuck about the climate change scam when you’re worried about how to pay your bills.

A new programme for government? Fuck them. A new way of getting it all wrong, more like.

Greens : “We won’t be recommending that our voters give their second choice to Fianna Fail”

Fianna Fail : “Nothing to worry about, people are free to vote for who they like”.

Greens : “We would like to re-negotiate the Programme for Government”.

Fianna Fail : “Entirely natural given that we’re at the midway point of the administration”.

Greens : “Maybe a general election is what the people want”

Fianna Fail : “The Greens are commited goverment partners”

Greens : “We can no longer tolerate the incompetence of this government and its ministers”

Fianna Fail : “Of course we’re still friends. Sure John Gormley and Brian Cowen had pints in Howl at the Moon last night”

Greens : “Brian Cowen is to being Taoiseach what West Brom are to playing Premiership football”

Fianna Fail : “Every relationship goes through a sticky patch. This is no different”.

Greens : “My God, how could we have whored ourselves for so long? We’ve lost all respect from the public and for what? A little bit of power in what is going to be remembered as the worst government of all time”.

Fianna Fail : “It’s just a little misunderstanding. It’s still good! It’s still good!

Greens : “Fianna Fail are a pack of corrupt, lying, economy fucking, recession bringing, short-sighted, make themselves and their friends rich and let children die cunts”

Fianna Fail : “It’s just a little squabble. It’s still good! It’s still good!”

Everyone : “It’s gone”

Fianna Fail: “We know”
