Mary McAleese has sunk to a new low!

[Deep Throat]

what's the idea of appearing on the front of the rag that is the RTE GUIDE?

She has brought the Presidency to a new low and should resign immediately. She is the President, not a celebrity chef!

Or maybe RTE just wanted to cook up a good story?

At the very least. This is the greatest crisis in the history of the State since, oh, the last one.

Sure she’s from FF, there never was any hope for her.

Relax - she's not on page 3.

I lost all sympathy for this woman when she supported the attack on Iraq. This was at a time when hundreds of thousands of Irish people were expressing their condemnation of the war plans.
McAleese got away with that abuse of her office, largely because she enjoys flatulent flattery from our lazy media.

thank God for that

Can someone in government just call her a "thundering disgrace" and be done with it. She's an FFers, so it's time for Harney or the Greens to do the country a favour.

And her predecessor, Mary Robinson, affectionately known as Noddy. She was foisted on us by Labour and elected by default after Brian Lenihan blew it. Unlike Robinson, President McAleese articulates emotion well and in my opinion she has moved the focus from “Women of Ireland” to “Irish People in the World”.

Are you suggesting that the presidency of the aloof Robinson, constantly overshadowed by this “wow, isn’t it great that we have a female president” aura and burdened by that “Mna na hEireann” remark, was more acceptable?
