"Bertie Ahern tipped for EU presidency"

Posted by Sold-2-Rent-1 over at HousePrice Crash

"... there might be an earlier deadline for "real fun" if that's how your mind works. How about the second week in June when the Irish EU treaty referendum is held. Did you know that they are the only country out of 27 to have a referedum on the EU treaty? It is no coincidence that Bertie Ahern resigned last week and is now front runner to be EU president. The Irish public will be conned into thinking that "their man" will have their interests at heart in the EU. Once voted in the EU will be a completely different beast to that of last 15 years."

Does the recent resignation-in-face-of-massive-corruption-investigation hurt his chances? Probably not...

Won't that upset Tony's plans to be Emperor of Rome? Perhaps it will be like Octavian and Mark Anthony lashing up a twinning arrangement until such a time as one of them can dispose of the other.

They've already bought off the UK, now they are dangling the same carrot in front of the Irish.

I thought corruption was a manadatory for EU posts?
