Bertie blames Mahon

[stanley]

In an artible in the Sunday Times, Richard Oakley writes:

"Ahern blamed the Mahon tribunal for his decision to go. It had been his intention to “go on and on”, reviewing his position after next summer’s local and European elections. But the “incessant publicity” surrounding irregularities in his personal finances led him to decide to go early “of my own volition”. "

Wonder what he will say when he ends up in the Joy, Mahon's fault again.

So it was only because of publicity he left not because of anything he did, the sooner this guy is in a Criminal Court where he will not be able to hide behind the various venues for the turd polishing he puts on his utterances, the better.

The little sniveller will blame anybody and everybody he can and never take responsibility for his actions. The man is a disgrace and an embarrasment.

The guy is actually starting to sound mad. In fact this could almost be the precursor to a "mental incompetance" plea when the time come for him to stand trial.

Berty blames Mahon- Mahon blames Berty- Berty blames the Brians- the Brians blame Berty. Mahons blame the Doors- the Doors blame drink- Drink blame's drugs- Drugs blame dealers- dealers blame suppliers- Suppliers blame Guards. Guards blame the Brians- and it starts all over again.

Agreed, its a wonder Bertie has not claimed the original was written about him.

Although knowing what we now know you can't help sort of kinda wish he had stayed to make sure that the stink of the mess he caused - and left to Cowen the clown - stuck more to Ahern. But I guess people know the mess didn't happen over night so they don't need it spelt out to know Ahern was the worst Taoiseach we have ever had - ever.

Unfortunately the news doesn't seem to have penetrated the soundproof rooms in Montrose.

This report is just from yesterday -listen to the swelling music over his goodbye speech (around 1m40), which ceases abruptly when a few of his critics are allowed a word in. Then there's the "ordinary" dubs wheeled out to sing his praises. (warning - if you've overindulged last night, this may induce vomiting).

can't say I'm surprised at Ahern's whingeing about Mahon. Its the old Mandy-Rice Davies "he would say that, wouldn't he" thing.
The real story is the "Palace Coup" which forced Ahern from power involving Cowen, Coughlan & minor players Barry Andrews and Batt O'Keefe. No doubt he'll continue to blame the tribunals though.
