G'wan The Mary Harney

Taken from http://home.eircom.net/content/irelandcom/breaking/7492256?view=Eircomnet , this is probably the only good thing I've heard the woman say.

The Tánaiste Mary Harney has said the riots in Dublin on Saturday played into the hands of the Orange Order, a "bigoted" sectarian movement.

As the Government prepares to face criticism in the Dail for failing to ensure gardai had adequate resources to deal with the riot, Ms Harney attacked some of those who planned to march.

"I don't have much respect for the Orange Order because it is a sectarian, bigoted organisation, but I do respect people's right to march," she said.

"I think they have got a great coup in being prevented from marching, quite honestly. Those that sought to stop them have played right into their hands."

Ms Harney said: "There was nothing republican about what happened on the streets of Dublin last Saturday. It was a disgrace, thuggery is how I would describe it. And it is a great, great pity that they brought shame on themselves, shame on the city, shame on the country."

Ms Harney's comments were condemned by the Orange Order and Democratic Unionist MP Jeffrey Donaldson.

"Those comments do nothing to heal the wounds that have been created and deepened as a result of Saturday's situation," the Lagan Valley MP said.

Ah c'mon be fair sjones, how could you forget about this pearl of wisdom she shared with us when asked in 2002 if she knew how much a loaf of bread cost

"Well it depends on what kind of loaf of bread you buy. I don’t particularly buy loaves of bread, I buy little brown cakes."

Tactfully? How tactfully? She's managed to insult the Orange Order and the DUP. To say she was just saying it tactfully is to demean what she is saying which is an honest assesment of what happened as far as I can see. I admit our health sector is a mess, but she can never be excuse of the usual political cunningness seen in Fine Geal and Fine Fail.

thought you said cunninglingus there for a second. That + Mary Hearny = stabby stabby eyes out.

My dad researches the orange order in canada. they used to be massive. Stone Masons massive.

Anyway not very tactful at all. Whether or not they are bigots (yeah they are) she probably shouldn't be calling them that right at this moment..

Ah, sitting on the fence tactic. Classic.

**** that, Mary is too great a politician to be sitting on the fence. Either come out and fully condemn or don't! She buttered up both sides, but then again, she's minister for health, so what does it mather?!?

I'd love if she toppled over the fence, and was dangling half over, then I could come up behind her and show what lovemaking was all about. Mmmmmmm. Harney.

reminds me of louis XVI's wife (i think it was his wife). when she was told that the commoners didn't have any bread she said "let them eat cake". the idea was that she was really out of touch. good old harney, i love every square foot of her

Thank God for Mary Harney. Shes the only one who has had the courage to step up and say what needed to be said. She really put them in their place.

I think the terrorist from Team America put it best when he said:

"You have balls. I like balls."
