I'm only joking....

Having just read James Downes' article, in the morning paper,I realise that Ahern is not the ''most cunning,the most devious ,of them all'' but in fact probably the best dead-pan comedian since Jack Benny.
The more we think about Bertie's carry-on during the past year the more we can see how he,and his insiders ,are having great fun at the general public's expense.
First of all we had his comment when his money meanderings became public.Where did the money come from,we the public,via the media ,asked?How did he answer?He told us that the amounts suggested were ''off the wall''.It turned out that this statement was actually true,except that he meant the money was ''off'' his friend( Michael) Wall.
Then when he was forced to acknowledge monies received from other friends ,he came up with ,not just one but two Paddy Reillys,throwing in the distinguishing nickname ''Paddy the Plasterer'' for our further enjoyment.,and , as if that was not enough,guess where he gave a press briefing ,on the following day.?...BALLYJAMESDUFF (if you don't believe that ...check it out)??Yes ,of all the towns, in all the world, Bertie turned up in Ballyjamesduff.
Next we had the famous ''Princess Diana'' interview,tears and all..that has already been well covered,telling us all sorts of personal details that no one had asked for .

And now the crowning joke (or as Krusty the Klown would say ,the best material) ;having been pilloried, by some, for his obvious intention to stuff the senate with as many of his cronies, as, barely legally, possible;comparing Ahern to Caligula, appointing his HORSE to the senate,Bertie appoints his HARRIS............

Why does all this remind me of (I think it was called ),the WEENY WEENY BIRD.?This bird had the ability to fly 'round and 'round and 'round in ever decreasing circles and eventually disappearing up its EOGHAN HARRIS........

From what i kind find in the archives, it looks like Harris has always been a political player, or at least wannabe political player, with his involvement in Mary Robinson's election campaign, etc. The Seanad is probably the best place for him...let a more independent journalist take his place on the opinion pages.
