Sir Bertie Ahern Knight Extraodinaire

Paddy Samurai

Most of U lot probably knew this...but i did't.

Definition of Knight

• A man belonging to an order or brotherhood.
• 1. A defender, champion, or zealous upholder of a cause or principle.
  2. The devoted champion of a lady.

Not just any Knight....but a Grand Knight, with cross of merit and a gold star.

All kneel to Sir Bertie!.

One lesser-known engagement was when an Italian cardinal visited his St Luke's base in Drumcondra, Dublin, to confer him with a Catholic knighthood.
The late Cardinal Mario Francesco Pompedda bestowed the Knight Grand Cross of Merit with Gold Star on Mr Ahern in a private visit in May 2004. Cardinal Desmond Connell was also present.

He was almost constantly on the go, and attended up to 40 official engagements in a week and many more unofficial ones.
It was not unusual for him to deal with affairs of state, constituency matters and party political business all in the one afternoon.

Just cos he's a knight doesn't mean he's not a total and complete twat.

This allows him to cast level 20 spells and also makes him impervious to verbal attacks.

So he is a knight of the church thereby a knight of the Vatican, another recognised state.

Fucking Traitorous Scum

I couldnt give a **** what brotherhood hes in, the man is a disgrace who ran this country into the ground, and now swans about like some all conquering hero. In any other country he'd be tried, and jailed. Hell, in North Korea, they'd probably have executed him

Just a pity Cardinal Mario Francesco Pompedda didn't put a bit more pressure on the ceremonial sword.......

Missed opportunity, there!

Of course, if he'd stood behind Ahern and used a different sword, he could have done to Ahern what that weasel did to us!

Was going to say me Granduncle would be returning his and be spinning in his grave, but I just remembered he was part of the North Side Mafia.
