I don’t know whether put in by Fine Gael or a group of sour heads in Sinn Fein.

Oh Eoghan, you political strumpet, you! To think that the man who advised John Bruton (quit sniggering at the back) and gave us the unforgettable Twink sketch at an FG Ard Fhéis during the same period, can now suggest that Bertie were somehow assassinated by Enda… well, I’m shocked. Shocked, I tell ya.

I think it is a great day for thinking people .. A “quiet revolution” of sorts has occurred, I
could feel the tide turning against Bertie despite all the legal threats his people were making they (the bloggers) refused to be silent. Virtually all the pressure was coming from ordinary people not politicians in lenister house, I believe the days of people being under the thumb of various juntas is nearly over. now to stop harney privatising the health system.

It’s a disgrace. No matter what happened, if we look around the world today and compare other leaders, e.g. Tony Blair. Which would the Irish prefer? A war monger? To say that Bertie is corrupt is laughable. This is a witch hunt. If every countries leader was investigated we would hear things that would make our ears curl. The journalists who first bought this to the forefront should be doing a prison sentence. They had proof which they destroyed????? Is this for real? Where are they? what the hell is really going on. I do think he did the right thing for him self. Why should he be publicly humiliated for the entertainment of the opposing politicians and the media. Gutted isn’t the word. Good Luck Bertie!!!!!

Just the three points Ant;

# Mugabe and Ahern in one day, what a sad loss of two great world leaders eh ?

# He is a lying cunt and always will be but sure at least he stirred a bit of interest (I suppose that applies equally to both of the above

# (A real conspiracy theory this one !) The Lisbon treaty referendum coming soon, a shaky leader, a lot at stake for Europe and the countries and business’s therein. I wonder if outside pressure was applied ? Considering the enlightening content on these pages over the last few years about corruption on an Irish scale, corruption on a European scale of such magnitude would not surprise me, in fact I’d be more surprised if he hadn’t resigned because of external pressure.

Keep up the good work
