I was wrong
I don’t mind admitting when I am wrong.
In fact I can remember at least two occasions in my life where I had to change my opinion on something. For example, there was the time [I think I was five at the time] when I said that Guinness didn’t taste nice. It transpired that I shouldn’t have been dipping my rusks in it, and I was quite happy to admit that I was in error.
For a long time now, I held the opinion that Déirdre de Búrca was a slag.
She invariably riled my piss whenever she opened her mouth, and I found her to be arrogant, opinionated and to be one of those politicians who will do absolutely anything to stay in power [is there any other kind of politician?]
This week though, I had to change my mind. For the first time, she cheered me up. I found myself agreeing with her, one hundred percent. I actually found myself admiring her.
My theory is that when you want to demolish someone, you do it as publicly as possible, and do it by telling the unvarnished truth. Opinion and innuendo can be ignored, but not the truth. This week, she launched a broadside salvo against Gormless and the Greens, and it was brilliantly done.
She told it exactly as it is. She told the Greens that they will do anything to stay in power no matter how far up Fianna Fails rectum they have to climb. She told them that they had sold out every principle they had. She told them that they were a bunch of power crazed, lily livered hypocrites that will do absolutely anything to hold onto their Mercs and perks.
She told Gormless himself that he was selling the party on order to keep his moment of glory in the Dail. She said he would do anything to hold onto power. She all but accused him of sleeping with Biffo.
Fair play to her.
I have been watching the fallout and it is a joy to behold. The Greens are going frantic trying to circle the wagons and have been coming up with some great lines. I swear that yesterday I even heard that little wanker Trevor Sargent claim that the Greens had recently created tens of thousands of jobs in the “Green Economy”. I don’t know what or where the “Green Economy” is, but it certainly isn’t in Ireland as our unemployment rate continues to rise.
Yesterday, another opinion poll came out. The Greens now stand at 2%. Considering that there is a 3% margin for error, it looks like my prediction of the first ever negative result is on the cards, and earlier than I predicted.
Yes. I was wrong.
Up to a few days ago, I wouldn’t.
But now I would.
When I read her announcement my reaction was the exact same as yours. She has gone well up in my estimation.
Her timing is spot on as well as far as Fine Gael are concerned!

She took the heat off Enda, all right! Not that he deserves it. Why don’t you lot kick him into touch? He’s a fucking liability!!
I believe what we actually witnessed was a simple case of ‘a woman scorned’.

Well I tink she’s a bitch and so do all my friend in Fianna Fail. And me Mam.
Her name is down in the list back at HQ. (Recycled paper).
She’s kinda’ cute. I’d do her.

Hello Grandad
I’ve read your site for quite a while now and I really enjoy your lack of creativity and wishy-washy opinions.
You seem like the type who would be interested in the goings-on at http://ukconspiracy.myfastforum.org
Not much happening there now, perhaps you can help change that. Maybe you can get information too, such as, why you wouldn’t be in favor of the supposed cervical cancer vaccine.
Hope to see you there.
Scratch that.
Hope you will give it a gander.
Unstranger – That is what the Greens would have us believe. I don’t care one way or the other – they needed to be told.
Mr. Gormless Gormley – Welcome! I’m sure if you ask Biffo nicely he will give you a Prozac? Maybe even a recycled one?
Brianf – Think of all the greenhouse gasses you would create travelling over. She mightn’t like that?
QR – Welcome! I’m so glad you like my site. I am a little puzzled though – why would you want my lack of creativity and wishy-washy opinions expressed on that site? Or do you have something against them? And what in the name of fuck makes you think I wouldn’t be in favor of the supposed cervical cancer vaccine?
Grandad, I think you took me all wrong. –
I was hoping you would realize that I was kidding, without me having to put smiley faces all over.
Also, I was saying that there are reasons to not be in favor of the vaccine.
Are we ok now?
Oh, I forgot.-
Can you help me figure out what that pic is of, in my comment box?
“I was hoping you would realize that I was kidding“
I did. So was I. But I was puzzled by the vaccine bit. I haven’t made a study of it so I know little about it. Is there something I shoukd know.
The picture is your Gravatar, that you must have signed up for. I haven’t a clue what it is though? A green pussy?
I did not sign up for any Gravatar. I wasn’t even asked about it. Nothing was offered, so I don’t know how I ended up with that…thing. – I hope you are not speaking from experience.
I will gather up the vaccine info and get back to you. In the meantime, don’t get the shot.
Make the GP go away, and give me a pic of a book, on a patio table, with a spectacular sunset in the background. Yes, in that tiny space. – Make it happen.
Grandad
There is a ‘Health’ category at the ukcon site, where I posted a lot of vaccine info. I didn’t want to muck up your place here. If you are adverse to visiting that site, I will muck away.
I appreciate your time and consideration in this matter. I am sick of people suffering needlessly!
If you’re going to suffer, you better have a darn good reason.
Ms de Burca has certainly ‘tidied’ herself up since I knew her years ago when she worked as a psychologist. Mad frizzy curly hair, nose piercing, certainly didnt wear suits like that!!! She did come in for some serious stick about the wicklow county council planning laws a while back didnt she? Dont really know enough about her political career though to have an informed opinion on her but I’m glad to see the spotlight on the Greena Fail calamity at last. Just what is their manifesto nowadays and how on earth can it be compatible with a shower of shites like fianna fail?
Is mise

QR – The avatar is a mystery. People normally sign up for them, and if they haven’t, then no avatar should show. You can see that on some of the other comments. Someone must have signed you up when you weren’t looking! Incidentally, I shall refuse the cervical cancer vaccine next time I’m offered it. I’ll use the rather flimsy excuse that I don’t have a cervix.
Becky – The Green manifesto is completely irrelevant. They just tag along with Fiann Fail at every step. Every now and then they manage to use the word ‘environment’ when referring to a Fianna Fail policy.
The truth is great. All we need now is the truth behind Deirdre’s reasons for quitting.
.-= Bock the Robber´s last brainfart .. 027 =-.
Who cares? It was just great seeing Gormless getting a teeth kicking, and watching him squirm after.
Grandad – Good call, on the no shot.
You are probably tired of reading about the conditions, but there may be some info you haven’t come across. – I have posted article links about Restless Leg, and Chronic Fatigue.
Good Health to you, Sir.
