I pit Bertie Ahern and his pay rise.

[yojimbo]

Indeed. I reckon he spiked her speedball. Ya can’t trust those northsiders.

Poor Katy, she was our Diana.

[yojimbo]

Heh!

@yojimbo

Spot on. For his next trick he’ll now do Micháel O’Muircheartaigh

Mike, that fuckin’ bastard?

ETA: Or doesn’t that narrow things down enough?

[bubastis]

Any word as to what Mary Hearney makes?

Every night, I pray that bitch gets cancer.

I suppose we get the leader we deserve but what a fuckpig he is.

Plus, his daughter is one of the worst authors I’ve ever read. And they’re making a movie out of her truly awful book.

@Aquila Be

He is no different to every other leader/member of an Assembly, Parliament, Delegate or Grand Poobah on this planet.

He and everyone in the whatever House of Poobahs you want to talk about represent the people and, it follows logically, his decisions reflect the will of the people.

He as Taoiseach represents the people, even when he and his colleagues vote themselves a well deserved pay rise.

Be happy.

Uh-oh. Looks like Bertie Ahern is posting on the Dope now.

Update

The Taoiseach earlier told the Dáil the Government had decided to put back the first part of the pay increases awarded to Ministers and Ministers of State by one year.

Mr Ahern said the other parts of the pay rises were being put back to 2009 and 2010.

He said that was being done as the November Exchequer figures were not as good as had been hoped, and because the state finances were in a tighter position.

Pay rise delay 'hypocritical' claims Kenny

I’m still trying to figure out Aqila Be’s freakish position.

It seems to be

1. He’s just like other elected leaders. (Uh, how is this a compliment?!)

2. He got elected, so he must be doing what “the people” want! (Uh, what?! Moreover, how does, “the people want it” have anything to do with him deserving a pay raise?)

3. “Be Happy” (i.e., Bertie Ahern is paying me off.)

Under the deal that has now being posponed she’d be up at up at €240000 as the Minister for Health. She could do with a stint in hospital. Unfortunatly she’d go private and have the best care however while the ones that don’t have to deal with the fuckup that she helped create.

[irishgirl]

yojimbo- even if Jabba the Harney had all her medical care done in the Mater Private, I doubt it would be the best care. I don’t know one person working in the Irish health system who would piss on her if she was on fire.

I’m not saying anyone would actually harm her, but she might find herself on the receiving end of unecessary rectal examinations, enemas and particularly rough bed baths. I’d imagine excuses would be found for lots of daily blood tests too…
