    Still Bertie I'm sure.

    Of the current crop, for some reason I can't really explain, Mary Lou McDonald makes me want to eat my own face with rage everytime I see her.

    I'm not sure if it's the shrill voice, the hysterical hypocrisy or the fact that she looks like the kind of mad oul one you see dragging out of her fella screaming "Leave him!!! He's not worth it!!!!" at 3am on a Saturday morning on O'Connell Street.

    Poll needs more Mary Lou.

    That's the first time ever I think anything's needed more Mary Lou.

    Leaving the rightness or wrongness or the Tara motorway aside, I'll always despise Dick Roache for approving it in his last day of the job so that he didn't have to deal with the backlash himself.

    Hating people will certainly fix our political problems.:(

    Most of them have recently retired. Out of those currently there I'd say Shatter. The guy is just so slimy. He made his money out of the misery of others (divorcing couples). He is also the most arrogant politician. Phil Hogans problem is he opens his mouth.

    Mary-lou is cause alone for a general election!

    Edit: Nothing to do with politics (well!)......... just her annoying moaning voice and lack of brains, arrrrrgggggghhhhhhh.

    Yeah you're right. But unintentional. Mary Lou, Adams, and Shatter should also be on there but I cant edit the poll now (Mod?)

    I don't particularly like any of them!

    The only one which I find genuinely hard to bare is Clare Daly, her grating voice and unpleasantness really bother me. I can't listen to her whenever she appears on TV or radio.

    I'd imagine Ahern is. Personally I can't abide the Rabittee. He's smug obnoxious, abrasive and contrived. He also has excess fat on his face that makes him look like a revolting snagglepuss.
