Whatever happened to .... sunshine?
I watched with glee, while your kings and queens, fought for ten decades for the gods they made.
Whatever happened to the person who similarly attacked Michael Noonan, then leader of FG (to their most ignominious ever defeat), also during GE 2002?
There are times when you are simply required to be impolite. There are times when condescension is called for!

Did you ever see the bruisers who were selected to surround Ahern.
I am sure they matched the Garda's opinion of the type of people that Ahern surrounded himself with in Drumcondra.
A brave woman to attack Ahern with a custard pie with them around.

The closest thing to punishment that Ahern will receive for his deception and fraud. To hell with the tribunals, bring on the pies! Let every man woman and child receive one pie!
Yeah, they could have beaten her up.
Such bravery!
I have to laugh at the indignant pomposity of those calling what happened to ahern an "attack". There was never a threat of injury to the man, nor indeed any threat to his safety. The biggest risk might have been if he had a dairy allergy, and only then if he licked the stuff off.
The only thing that gets hurt in incidents like this is a persons dignity, which was why she threw a cream cake and not a brick, or a bottle.
I hate the idea that any elected reps are somehow "our betters" that we have to look up to. IMHO the woman was making a point about defending herself from the arrogance of Ahern and those in high office who make decisions affecting peoples lives but don't have to worry about the consequences for themselves.
