Pathetic Cowen exposes cowardly Martin

I wrote yesterday that I hoped Brian Cowen was successful in his pathetic attempt to remain in power because it would increase the damage to Fianna Fail, I never dreamed that my wish would be granted in spades.

Not only has the drunken fool decided to stay on but he’s also exposed Michael Martin for the cowardly creep that he is.

Martin’s strategy of ‘I’ll resign but I won’t resign’ is an attempt to convince people that he’s a man of courage and principle but who, at the same time, skulks in the bunker instead of bravely taking to the field of battle.

We can add ‘stupid’ to his list of characteristics if he thinks anybody will fall for this stroke save for the most moronic Fianna Fail supporter.

Meanwhile, the whole farce provides yet another excuse for the body politic and media to avoid dealing with the real reason for the destruction of our nation – the all pervading disease of political corruption.

The continuing destruction of the Fianna Fail cancer

I hope Cowen is successful in his pathetic attempt to remain in power. It will cause more conflict and self destruction within Fianna Fail and that can only be good for Ireland.

It doesn’t matter who succeeds the traitor because all front runners, Martin, Hanafin and Lenihan are all members of the most corrupt political party in the country, they’re all strong supporters of the traitor/mafia ward boss Bertie Ahern and they all admire the criminal Haughey.

Not one of them has even the slightest notion of what the word/concept corruption means in an Irish context and will therefore behave in exactly the same manner as their predecessors triggering, hopefully, the ultimate destruction of Fianna Fail.

The destruction of the cancer that is Fianna Fail would be of greater benefit to the people of Ireland than any amount of political reform.

Cowen: A lying traitor

Brian Cowen is a liar.

This needs to be clearly stated to bypass the mountain of bullshit that has been spewing from political and media sources over the last few days.

I’m not going to compromise my intelligence by analysing Cowen’s statements or motives; he’s a liar, end of story.

I am, however, going to express an opinion about the now infamous golf meeting.

In my opinion Cowen met with this cabal of businessmen to sell his country down the river.

In other words, Cowen is not just a liar, he’s also a traitor.

Barry Andrews: A typical Fianna Fail gombeen clone

Fianna Fail TD, Barry Andrews was asked a very simple question on Frontline last week.

Do you actually believe that Fianna Fail deserve support in the next election?

If I was a member of the most corrupt political party in the country, a party that has betrayed the nation and brought catastrophe on its people I would (cannily) answer something like this.

Yes Pat, we have made mistakes, I admit that. I think a term or two in Opposition will be good for the party and indeed the country.

It will give us time to reflect on our policies and reconstruct the party so as to better serve Ireland and its people into the future.

This is how Andrews actually answered the question.

Look, Pat, I mean, the political system is ripe for change and it will be a very different country in five or ten year’s time.

I hope, on reflection, at the next election people will be able to say, well, ‘they made the best effort they could and they put the taxpayers first.’

His comments were interrupted by boos and angry comments from the audience.

A person of average intelligence would instantly realise that a different approach was needed but Andrews is not of average intelligence.

Pat Kenny put the question again.

Do you think FF deserves to be back in government in one form or another?

What I’m saying Pat is that on reflection you will see that we put the taxpayer first.

It’s very hard in a very…

(interrupted by audience anger)…

in the feverish atmosphere you can hear now.

In this feverish atmosphere it’s almost impossible to put that point without eliciting the kind of response I’ve just elicited but I certainly believe that there are enough common sense people to know that we did the right thing.

The audience was even angrier now but Andrews was still incapable of interpreting their mood or demonstrating the slightest sign of political intelligence

Kenny, once again, put the question to him.

Do you think Fianna Fail deserve to be back in government?

Well, I just answered that question to the best of my ability Pat.

Exactly, to the best of his ability.

During discussion Andrews showed himself as incompetent with little understanding of what was happening in the country.

His body language was that of a bumbling schoolboy struggling to impress at his first school debate.

Kenny described Andrews as coming from a long pedigree of political ‘leaders’ suggesting that the people of Ireland have been well served by the Andrews dynasty.

Looking around at the wholesale destruction of our country and the despair into which the people have been plunged I think flawed pedigree is a more appropriate description.

Andrews is nothing more than a typical gombeen Fianna Fail clone who mindlessly regurgitates the standard party drivel while remaining totally oblivious to reality.

It is disturbing to think that Andrews, as a relatively young man, is likely to be around for some time to come.

The people of Ireland can only despair at such a prospect.

The gombeen clone

Dermot Ahern's great burden of sorrow

You have to feel great sadness and sympathy for Justice Minister Dermot Ahern at his “huge regret” at being unable to engage in his hobby of windsurfing for the past two years due to his rheumatoid arthritis (Irish Independent).

The people of Ireland can only hope that Ahern’s massive retirement package will go some way towards easing the pain of this devastating loss of pleasure.

I’m sure, as the peasant class struggle to feed themselves over the next few decades; they will retain in their simple hearts a special place of warmth and worry for Mr. Ahern and his family.

Mansergh: Stupid or arrogant – or both?

Martin Mansergh speaking in our Parliament last Tuesday.

Deputy O’Mahony spoke about a five year old worrying about whether he would have to emigrate. I have a daughter who spoke in her teenage years of emigrating, but she is working in Ireland.

These things go around in cycles.

Emigration (enforced) goes around in cycles???

Mansergh is either an extremely stupid man or he is so filled with arrogance that he has become completely immune to the awful tragedy of emigration, I suspect the latter.

As for his daughter working in Ireland – well of course she is. She’s the daughter of a Fianna Fail Minister.

At least 4.5 million people would have to emigrate before such privileged citizens would need to worry about their circumstances.

Liar Lenihan reduces himself to scumbag status

Speaking on The Last Word (Wed. Nov. 24th), markets analyst, Paul Somerville said that Brian Lenihan should be nominated for an Oscar.

Lenihan, he said, while always sounding plausible is also always wrong.

I would be a little more direct – Lenihan is a plausible liar and his lies are invariably at the expense of the Irish people.

On the same programme, presented by Matt Cooper, Lenihan demonstrated that he’s just as ruthless as the scumbag Bertie Ahern when it comes to shifting blame and abdicating responsibility.

On the (damaging) delay in establishing NAMA.

I stayed up all night in Dail Eireann until six and seven in the morning listening to nonsensical arguments about NAMA…

The political system didn’t seem to agree at the time that it should be enacted as quickly as possible, the political system decided we should have a huge ideological argument about a particular approach to banking.

The suggestion here is that the Government should not have been subjected to any questions whatsoever regarding the establishment of NAMA. In other words, democracy should have been suspended while draconian legislation was being introduced.

On the very bad decisions made by government.

Keep screaming and making value judgements and don’t listen to answers.

On asking outside advisors to make a contribution.

David McWilliams?

He’s an interesting commentator but not very constructive.

Morgan Kelly?

He did call the fire correctly on a previous occasion but you don’t always call the fire correctly.

Moore McDowell?

I’d be delighted to see Moore McDowell tomorrow in the Dept. If he wants to give me a view on it, he’s more than welcome. I have huge respect for Moore McDowell.

The dismissal of McWilliams and Kelly is predictable, they don’t toe the party/government line, but McDowell should be asking himself some serious questions at such an endorsement by an incompetent politician.

On the suggestion that those at the top should show leadership by making a little more sacrifice in the national interest.

Matters of that type are not in the national plan because they don’t affect expenditure or receipts.

They do fill airwaves but they don’t save any money I can tell you or very marginal amounts of money and that’s why they’re not dealt with in the plan because the plan focuses on what will sort out our problems.

Reducing the minimum wage, cutting social welfare to the bone, etc, etc, will, apparently, sort out our problems.

On the question that Cowen is paid more than Barack Obama.

He doesn’t have the facilities of the White House.

This is the same answer that Bertie Ahern gave as justification for a proposed massive salary increase.

This arrogant/insulting reply reduces Lenihan to the same scumbag status as the former Taoiseach.

Lenihan should have been nailed to the wall after giving such a dismissive reply. He should have been forcibly challenged to explain and justify his answer.

Regrettably, Irish journalists have yet to evolve a killer instinct when it comes to challenging so called people of authority who have destroyed our country.

Noel Dempsey: I feel your pain

Minister for Transport, Noel Dempsey, spoke to George Hook (24th Nov.) about the pain he feels for himself, his family and the great unwashed after the publication of the four year plan.

I’m a citizen of this state the same as the people that are texting into you, anything that affects them affects me.

I can understand that an awful lot of people were very angry when this thing hit…That anger is affecting everybody, it affects me the same as it affects everybody else.

I have children too, I have family members and everything else so I understand that. It’s very popular to kick politicians around, we do our best.

As a government minister Dempsey is on a salary of about €250,000. He pays for nothing, not for phone, not for transport, not for food, not for accommodation and a large percentage of his expenses are tax free.

But the peasants can take solace from this ‘leader’ that he feels their pain, he understands their anger, he’s at one with their suffering.

Harney's betrayal: The criminal Haughey would have been proud

I find it difficult to believe that I once admired Mary Harney.

When she and Des O’Malley challenged the criminal Haughey and his corrupt party by leaving and forming the Progressive Democrats I had hoped that, at last, Ireland was on the road to real democracy.

And indeed while O’Malley was leader the party acted with integrity and determination in challenging our corrupt, gombeen political system.

Sadly, all that ended soon after Harney took over as leader. She obviously concluded that all that integrity and accountability stuff was a hindrance to staying in and exploiting power.

Harney abandoned her principles and, in effect, rejoined her old, corrupt, Fianna Fail party. In so doing, she betrayed her country.

In typically cowardly Fianna Fail fashion she was on the airwaves today blaming others for the destruction of our country.

We have very strong regulation in relation to corporate governance. For example, I personally established the Director of Corporate Enforcement.

When I was Minister for Enterprise, Trade and Employment I carried out many inquiries including one into Ansbacher.

There was a failure by the authorities to enforce the regulations, of that there is no doubt.

According to this cowardly traitor government ministers have no responsibility whatsoever for the actions/non actions of state enforcement agencies.

This cowardly traitor did establish the Director of Corporate Enforcement – a completely powerless authority that has yet to bring a single white collar criminal to justice.

Its powerlessness and abject failure is, like the failure of all other so called law enforcement authorities, no accident.

This cowardly traitor was involved in the Ansbacher and many other inquiries concerning white collar crime but none of these crimes were uncovered by so called law enforcement authorities. They were all uncovered by whistleblowers or the media.

Without exception, every one of these inquiries ended in failure. Not a single white collar criminal was ever charged. This is the record this traitor is so proud of.

When asked did she feel ashamed that she is part of a government that has seen the IMF called in she replied.

No, I don’t actually.

She defended her lack of shame by covering it with the lie spouted by her fellow Fianna Fail liars – it’s not a bailout, it’s a loan.

The criminal Haughey would have been proud of this woman’s descent from the high ground of integrity and concern for her country to his own level of grasping greed, dishonesty and betrayal.
