    He is there so those who disagrees with his sporting strategy can just go commit suicide as his team always wins ;)

    ah you have to love Bertie, he's a man having the banter, the type of ex-Taoiseach you could go for a few pints with.

    Does he have no family or friends telling him that he isn't as well perceived by the public as he seems to think he is? It's extraordinary that he still views himself as some sort of man of the people.. I reckon he's mid-way through a breakdown tbh.. nobody of a sound mind could be so deluded. Keeping up public appearances etc is probably a coping mechanism moreso than a sign of his hard neck.

    I'm actually starting to pity the man

    Typical Fianna Fail man - cares about nothing other than what's in his wallet, and what he can take from others. Nice to see both he and Cowen united in removing any semblance of dignity from the office of Taoiseach.

    He is being paid as a member of our Government and i would think his time would better spent trying to get us out of the hole he got the country into up to now i have voted Fianna Fáil not anymore.

    He got us into this hole because he was incompetent and had no ethics (he didn't understand what "ettics" was), so there is no point in him trying to get us out of it.

    He should be put against a wall.

    Paul Williams, the guy that slated the News Of The World for years and years.

    Called them "British gutter tabloids" whenever he didn't approve of their methods of obtaining stories and now he's taking it up the ass for cash.

    I hate that f**ker with a passion and my blood boils every time I hear him refer Veronica Guerin as "my colleague".

    No I'm afraid they weren't winding you up at all.

    It's sad because Veronica Guerin seemed like a genuine person who had the right intentions, and this muppet Williams is using her name to justify his own self-serving agenda. Writing for the NOTW seems to be about his level alright. He does nothing but glorify a bunch of small-time hoodlums without making any noticeable impact other than to his own bank balance.

    As for Bertie well don't get me started. I guess he found his journalistic level aswell.

    Funny enough, he shares a lot in common with Bertie then!
