    Just breaking, tomorrows front pages will tell you of a body having been found in the offices of Mary Coughlan, apparently lying there for 4 days.

    Its not very political but it is kinda AH in a GUBU way.

    They've been talking about it tonight on tv, it's on the front pages of a couple of tomorrow's papers. No suggestion of any wrongdoing on the minister's part and not alot of details other than that the body of a missing man was found in a closet in her office. It's a strange one but I'm sure more will come to light tomorrow.

    Im more annoyed that it appears that despite their substantial holidays a TD didnt visit her office in 4 days during the "working" period.

    Odd stuff alright.

    Some reckon Berties spooks staged this to distract the media for a few days.

    To post up a definition of libel without offering any comment of your own smacks of sanctimonious and repressed aggression.
