seanwhite20 · 2009-12-11 07:41:19

Just watching the morning news and it was showing Brian Lennihan entering the dail to deliver his budget speech the other day, and who did i spy on the FF back benches only Bertie Ahern. Did he not give up his seat when he retired as taoiseach? And if he did then what in the hell is he doing in dail eireann?

He didnt give up his seat. He is still a TD, although I believe his attendance record since stepping down is one of the lowest in the Dail.

Why do you think he gave up his seat ?

Would you give it up when it is money for doing sweet fa.
Turn up for a few days here and there (in between book signings).

Afraid to say that the pr1ck is still there.

Hopefully the only thing that will "motivate" Patrick Bartholomew Ahern now is to "commit suicide" "up every tree in north Dublin."

Dr Bertie is trying to figure out why how he should sneak onto campus to deliver his first lecture at NUIM as an unpaid member of faculty.

Apparently there is uproar because Bertie feeling unloved has blitzed out Chrissie cards to all his constituents even the dead ones. So desparate is he to be popular he even sent out multiple cards to the same people. All at our expense of course........

Read about it here.

Bertie wants to retire to the Park,
we end up paying for the ****er for another 7 years
And to make things worse he will probably get it.
I feel sick already.

The only way he will get in the park is if Thierry Henry is the opposition candidate and even then it would be a very close contest..

Actually, I missed an opportunity earlier...

The thread title is "Bertie : What's he up to ?"

The ONLY possible answer is : "Even the tribunals can't find out; what hope do we have ?"

Close runner-up : "His neck"

Wait - What? Bertie is still loitering around in the Dail?

Thats like the hit-and-run driver reversing to chat with bystanders; The Mugger sharing cigarettes with the Witnesses; The House Breaker sitting in to watch the Late Late Show......

- Has he no plans to ever leave the scene of the crime?

We as a Nation may have spent many hundreds of thousands on elocution, suits and make up for that little Cúnt but he is still the same old rat in an anorak underneath it all.

He obviously sees himself as Presidential material with his Christmas cards to the afterlife campaign and continued Public posturing - and given the pathetic, floundering, embarrassing, sordid, corrupt, joke that we find ourselves living day on day, well then I suppose I'd have to say he's a perfect match

I'm not sure that the LSE offers such a programme. Perhaps you should check his CV, or maybe not...

Jeez I so hope u are right. I will be sicker than I have ever been should that F'er get to the Aras. After that FF moron Hillary we have got it spot on and had brilliant Presidents not some free loader retired to the Park for 7 yrs more freebies.

F the lot of them, shower of rebrobates.

I read somewhere Bertie pays for the Xmas cards himself. I seriously doubt this though, if it was his money dead people would not be getting cards. The brass neckedness of it all knows no bounds!.

Can we persuade him to accept an honorary Darwin Award? If money was mentioned, I'm sure he'd go for it. A couple of million Euro and an electric fence would do it.
