The Big Interview with Mike Murphy - 27/10/'11 (Bertie Ahern)

Lady Chatterton

Mike's guest this evening is former Taoiseach, Bertie Ahern.

RobAMerc

just saw an ad for it - was disappointed it was an ordinary chair and not an electric one Ahern was sat in.

Plautus

This is going to be a John O'Donoghue style meltdown of arrogance and smugness (can't wait!)

celticcrash

Bertie the most delusioned man in Ireland.

Lady Chatterton

"St. Bertie of Drumcondra".... this should be good:rolleyes:

miketv

looking forward to this, I'd love if he blamed the media agian for the economy

Tito Ortiz

I already want to punch him

And progressively so.

Plautus

In his hole did Bertie work on a Sunday, unless his definition of 'work' includes a Pint of Bass while divvying up eh ... winnings from horses in St. Luke's.

And there you go, comparing himself to Obama 'getting it in the neck.'

Lady Chatterton

My telly mightn't survive this programme :mad:

JonathanAnon

No two lines in to the first answer and I already want to push him out that big window..

amdublin

Shut up bertie. I hate you.

inabina

My God Ahern....you are so pathetic....the same ole tripe that everything was perfect when he left...does he really think that because things were good when he left that the damage wasnt done?

DuckStab

"Some people get what happened, other people blame me"
HULK SMASH!!!!!!!!!!

Tito Ortiz

Ah lads we all know it was international money problems that have us in this sh!t

amdublin

The futtering and the stuttering, what a scam of a man.

Corkblowin

In response to his claim that 'no-one' warned him or the government of an impending crisis Davenport on Newstalk just played different clips of people warning him of the meltdown - plus some of his responses to them (the famous suicide comment was one) commenting that if he wasn't being warned then who was he responding to??

Does he really think if he repeats it often enough we'll believe it - or can a man actually be that deluded. I always thought he was a spoofer - now I wonder does he actually need help!

basillarkin

Does he believe the **** he is spouting

telekon

One word: C*nt.

Callan57

Ah yes ... another rewriting of history :eek:

Agree, he is a SAD SAD man

amdublin

Fair play to Mike Murphy!

Get rid of DLB, install Mike on the LLS

Plautus

Funny how Bertie is giving this interview in a Nama legacy building that had to be given money to get the bloody toilets to flush.

tommytee

I vowed never to hate another human being but am struggling here, bertie's got that white goo on the side of his lips, hopefully he has got rabies :-)

inabina

IN THE WORDS OF FATHER JACK!

2 minutes in and it feels like the liveline thread already, wish some of them were on here for the commentary you know who you are!

parrai

The cronyism grew is what he means

Tito Ortiz

Bertie, why did you become a politician... To become a millionaire of course Mike !!

Johnnio13

Muppet....he was then and he is now..still banging on about cronyism, and man u!
His salary might have been that of obama's...but the is where the comparison stops!

Callan57

Ah Jesus not the crying bit again :rolleyes:

SEPT 23 1989

This interview should have been conducted in the Joy

but this is Ireland

amdublin

There's just something about him that makes you not believe a single word out of his mouth :rolleyes:

Whereas Mike is coming across so calm and as someone as you'd trust...

take everything

I fear the rest of the interview will be a softsoap, now they got the obvious out of the way.
Could be wrong.

Skid

"have you any romance in your life?"

I think he loves himself too much to have time for anyone else :mad:

Johnnio13

Dressing well!....classic Mike!

amdub talking sense (for once) tonight... Bertie got into politics for the same reason that Joe Duffy got in to broadcasting... and that's not their supposedly shared socialistic ideals..

Tito Ortiz

Bertie.. U should be in prison !!!

Kicker about the pension and a dig out was just thrown in.

Nice!

Plautus

'Some people say I'm romantic with some of the things I believe in' ... no, Bartholomew. Moronic perhaps.

'I believed Charlie was in the development business.'

Now, that's what you call being economic with the truth!

amdublin

More futtering and stuttering...

inabina

"he finally shook hands to me"....the man cant even speak. he is THICK
