    It's on the 9th of September folks! The invitations are going out.The great and good are invited to Bertie's party. I think the great and good may want to be careful to be seen in his company. How many elected ffer's will be there I wonder? Will Michéal Martin show up? How about the guys and gals at RTE?


    It's just occured to me that any well known personality attending this celebration be they political or media may well regret it in the eyes of the public such is the anger and contempt for the man.


    Exert from the Daily Mail

    The bill for the party is expected to run into the tens of thousands depending on the numbers, entertainment and catering that he opts for.

    However, true to form, Bertie won’t be picking up the tab and has turned to his millionaire daughters to foot the bill. This week, the brass-necked politician claimed he was ‘strapped’ for cash due to legal bills arising from the tribunal.

    This was despite the fact that when in office, he was one of the highest paid statesman in the world and he has claimed €270,000 in expenses since he resigned as taoiseach in 2008.

    However, it is understood that Georgina and Cecelia are to host and pay for the birthday bash.

    I'd absolutely LOVE if no-one whatsoever turned up - it might kill off his delusion about being popular.

    I would guess, however, that many of his mates that benefitted when he sold the rest of us down the Swanee will show their equally despicable faces, so the likes of Johnny Ronan & Seanie Fitzgerald and maybe even David Drumm will show up to laugh in our faces about how they've pulled off the greatest heist in history and left the bill to us mugs.

    they can do whatever the hell they want, as long as there isnt a penny of us taxpayer's money used to foot the bill.
