Bye Bye Martin
They got away with murder when it only cost them €400,000 to dump the dodgy would-be president.
What a debacle, when you think of it, when the man at the top table was holding all the cards in the game of poker to elect the next President of Ireland.
He held one card very close to his chest; it had Jim's face on it, and it was a secret, especially within the party.
No sooner had the face been revealed than it was discovered that it had egg all over it, and it proved impossible to wipe off.
Humpty Dumpty could not be put back together again because the victim was a newspaperman, one of those people whose job it is to get the dirt on the likes of these wrongdoers, and they still thought they could get away with it.
Did they think that they had cleared the "Banana Republic" of all its skins and that there could be no slip-ups?
Had they not got him off the stage asap, it could have ended up that Martin, by his poor game plan, had brought about the election of a Blueshirt, by default. He would have had more than egg on his face, for sure. That would have been treason within the party.
The only reason why he remains in the job is that the powers that be in Brussels want him in place for the job that they have given him to do over the next six months.
It will all become clear in the new year, the dirty job they have lined up for Ireland in the coming six months.
That is why we have "an executive government" in the Dail, which is subservient to the EU.
Its a far cry from what we voted for when we joined the EEC.
