Harney and Ahern take up the first two spots on my hit list, but I can’t decide between herself and Cowan for the three spot." Surely you are not putting Hanafin and Cowan ahead of those two feckless Fucks, Cullen & O'Dea. It is scary that over 19,000 people voted for that muppet Cullen. No wonder the country is fucked !!! “Hanafin confuses me. Harney and Ahern take up the first two spots on my hit list, but I can’t decide between herself and Cowan for the three spot.”

And if you could hear him!! Journalists have to tidy up his speeches because of the stammering and stuttering and the appalling grammar. He <em>claimed</em> he was a qualified accountant, but someone did some research and the college had never heard of him. He then admitted he had attended night classes [probably as a toilet cleaner, not a student]. Incidentally, before becoming leader, he was Minister for Finance under Charles Haughey, who soaked the country for millions. Unfortunately, Haughey died before he could be brought to trial. Don't worry about our Great Leader's past. After all, Adolf Hitler was only a humble painter. Now you see why I freak out so often about him and his cronies. And if you could hear him!!

That is absolutely freakin' amazing!! I know you don't like my President but at least before becoming Prez he held jobs that paid him well enough to own his own home. A ranch nonetheless. So what did Bertie do before becoming Taoiseach? I mean besides being a gangster. I just read the article. That is absolutely freakin’ amazing!!

Better never than late, I say. Brianf - Are you aware that our Glorious Leader has awarded himself <strong>a salary of half a million dollars a year</strong>? That beats <em>any</em> other EU leader, and even puts Dubya in the shade. And this in a country of four million people??? Roy - For the pay rise… Better never than late, I say.
