Bertie Ahern - one of a long line of corrupt, lying Irish politiciansApr 03, 2012
Bertie Ahern is just one of a long line of corrupt, thieving, lying politicians elected in the Irish Republic throughout the past 100 years. His relationships with property developers and the ludicrous claim that - while Prime Minister of one of Europe's fastest growing economies - he didn't even have a bank account have left a bitter taste in the mouth of the Irish voters. However, given that the Irish catholic people have a long history of voting for mass murderers, religious killers, bank robbers, war criminals and right wing extremists, one must wonder if the Irish public deserve everything they get.

thefilmarchive.org March 16, 2007 Patrick Bartholomew "Bertie" Ahern (born 12 September 1951) is a former Irish politician who served as Taoiseach of Ireland from 26 June 1997 to 7 May 2008. Ahern served as a Teachta Dála (TD) from 1977 to 2011 and he represented the constituency of Dublin Central. Before he became Taoiseach, he served in the governments of Charles Haughey and Albert Reynolds as Minister for Labour (1987--91) and Minister for Finance (1991--94).

Ahern resigned as Taoiseach on 6 May 2008 and was succeeded by the then Minister for Finance Brian Cowen. Ahern's presentational style has been described as Bertiespeak.
