Attempted Murder She Wrote, starring Dana

Logical Fallacy · 19-10-2011 12:21pm #1

So the race for President has finally gotten sexy as Dana feels that someone has actually tried to kill her.

Do you reckon there is any credence to the claim of sabotage, or is Dana simply playing a card to try and swing a few more votes and generate some interest?

Personally, i reckon she lives in her own universe and the evidence i offer is that she feels that she is enough of a threat to others interests that she is worth killing, or even that the Presidency is something worth killing for.

Independent presidential candidate Dana Rosemary Scallon has claimed she is lucky to be alive after her campaign car suffered a suspicious tyre blowout on a motorway.
Ms Scallon was asleep in the back seat when the incident happened last night close to the M4 toll near Kilcock, Co Kildare last night.
Her husband Damien, who was driving her to Dublin, lost control of the car, which was travelling at about 100km/h, when it suffered the blowout.
Her campaign team has claimed the tyre appears to have been punctured up to 15 times.
Her legal team are making statements to gardaí.
“When I looked at it, it was very scary to look at,” Ms Scallon said today. “I think we are all very lucky to be here today. I never start a journey without saying a little prayer and I think we are all very lucky. As far as I’m concerned it was a very lucky escape.”
The incident happened at about 9.00pm last night.
The campaign car, a Peugeot 508 emblazoned with Dana posters, had been parked outside the Landmark Hotel in Carrick-on-Shannon, Co Leitrim, for several hours earlier in the day.
There were four people in the car including a cousin of Ms Scallon's and her brother Gerald Brown.
Mr Brown and Mr Scallon had swapped driving duties at a service station shortly after the toll plaza and neither reported noticing the car handling unusually. It had been raining along the motorway.
Mr Scallon said when the tyre blew he first swerved to avoid a lorry in front and a car behind before struggling to regain control and stop safely on the hard shoulder.
“It was quite a terrifying, horrifying moment,” he said. “When you see the tyre it kind of sends home to us what were they trying to do - injure us or murder us? Along with doing that, they could have killed someone else.”
Ms Scallon had been campaigning in the west yesterday after a TG4 leader’s debate, with her last engagements in Carrick-on-Shannon.
An AA roadside recovery team were called out and changed the tyre before the team continued their journey to Dublin.
“We had no idea until today it was as serious as it is,” Mr Scallon said. “The AA man really examined the tyre and said he had never seen anything like it.”
Ms Scallon cancelled her morning engagements today.

Its Dana - is she having another one of her visions yet again?

Meh!

Piss off back to America would ya!

TheZohanS · 19-10-2011 12:23pm

I wish Dana and her dodgy views and family would fcuk right off.

mattjack · 19-10-2011 12:24pm

Hedgehog strike...multiple punctures.Pricks in the car and outside the car.

KTRIC · 19-10-2011 12:24pm

We don't care Dana, now would you ever FRF :mad:

Cuddlesworth · 19-10-2011 12:25pm

Punctured 15 times but was still perfect all the way from Limerick to Kildare. Mine must have been damaged in Cork then because it was flat yesterday and I went to Cork a week ago. What newspaper should I go to?

smokingman · 19-10-2011 12:26pm

Had to be Marty really

dsmythy · 19-10-2011 12:26pm

We could make fun of Dana again or ask what the AA guy said about the tyre first?

foxyboxer · 19-10-2011 12:27pm

Why would someone try to kill the candidate least likely to get the gig???

ejmaztec · 19-10-2011 12:27pm

We know she's got a vivid imagination, so vivid in fact, that she thinks she's going to be the next president.

That_Guy · 19-10-2011 12:28pm

Surely you'd notice if your tyre was punctured 15 times no?

seamus · 19-10-2011 12:30pm

When she made her statement on prime time last week, I told my wife that I reckoned that Dana was paid to be in the race and be as ridiculous and farcical a candidate as possible so as to draw attention away from the other candidates.

I was only joking, but I'm starting to think I may have been right :eek:

"Shhhhhhhhh"..keep it under your hat....not everyone knows thats the truth.

Lollipops23 · 19-10-2011 12:32pm

I had a blowout once, I was convinced my tyre had been slashed until the aul lad took a look at it. She's letting her (underdeveloped) imagination run away with itself.

staker · 19-10-2011 12:33pm

Anyone else smell onions anytime they read her real name?
A bauld onion told to stand in the corner for always moaning and complaining.

Voodu Child · 19-10-2011 12:34pm

They have a tyre blowout and her tyre failure experts campaign team notice that it has lots of perforations. So it must be sabotage.

That's like crashing your car into a tree and then noticing that the bonnet appears to be crumpled, somebody must have sabotaged the engine compartment.

Lando Griffin · 19-10-2011 12:36pm

I never start a journey without saying a little prayer and I think we are all very lucky. As far as I’m concerned it was a very lucky escape.”

God had no part to play in this at all, it was just luck, plain old luck, do you hear that God.

foxyboxer · 19-10-2011 12:40pm

Waits for someone to quip about 'attempted murder' in the title with Marty McGuinness.

God had plenty to do with this,I,ve been praying something like this might happen.

J K · 19-10-2011 12:41pm

Tips for Dana
1. Ensure tyres are always inflated in line with manufacturers guidelines.
2. Avoid impacts with potholes, curbs and other road hazards.
3. Don't miss taking any of the medication the Head Shrinks have you on.
4. Go away somewhere and be never heard of again.

sbsquarepants · 19-10-2011 12:41pm

If god was really out to help her, surely he would have fixed the tyre, not let it blow but then cradle the car to safety with his noodly appendage?

Just a thought!

And they say Dana's backwards.

stovelid · 19-10-2011 12:43pm

I was getting a driving lesson a good few years back and we passed a poster of her. My instructor (in his late 50s to early 60s) was trying to make idle conversation and said something along the lines of you'd probably give her it but what a mad cunt.

I readily concurred with one of the sentiments expressed.

CardBordWindow · 19-10-2011 12:44pm

Whoever's behind this needs to try harder!

Stay away from small Planes Miss Dana! The worldwide conspiracy of secular humanists is after you!

It was the atheist-socialist-secular agenda, who slashed the tyres with an aborted foetus's smashed skull! Dana got too close to the truth!

STORY

Independent presidential candidate Dana Rosemary Scallon has claimed she is lucky to be alive after her campaign car suffered a suspicious tyre blowout on a motorway.

I always thought that the key to a good Presidential assassination was to wait until they were elected ???

My car tyre burst 3 weeks ago too whilst driving so I could be targeted too :eek: (OK it was because I ran over a lump of metal but still.....)

GavRedKing · 19-10-2011 1:10pm

Tin foil hats for some, minitaure Irish Flags for all.

RachaelVO · 19-10-2011 1:11pm

Yeah, that's believable considering she's not remotely delusional or anything!

I calls attention seeking :pac:

Morlar · 19-10-2011 1:12pm

I would find the concept of skulduggery easier to accept if she weren't riding high on 2% of the vote. I'm not sure what the point of eliminating her from the race would be.

Sooopie · 19-10-2011 1:15pm

i think we should invest in a bullet proof pope-mobile for her

If she has faith and prays before journeys which is she saying it was down to luck?

The AA man has an explanation for it....

“The AA man really examined the tyre and said he had never seen anything like it. He said ‘I’m not an expert but it looks like it has been interfered with.
There’s no explanation for it’.”

Two lads in the car and they still call out the A.A to change a tyre.

I'm no voting for someone who surrounds themselves with such a bunch of jessies

It is funny how these god bashers never stop and say "Hang on... maybe god did it and god wants me dead or out of the race!".

For some reason god always seems to be their best supporter and wants the same things they want... so the idea god might have reached down and messed with their tyre never occurs.

It had 20,000 on the clock...........
did they look at their tyres?

I had worked changing tyres for many years and new cars have tubeless tyres. THE REASON, tubeless tyres don't blowout.
This all sounds like another poor me story.
I know what caused this............ ALL KINDS OF EVERYTHING
