Bertie Ahern

Bertie AhernIn case you did not know Bertie Ahern is the Irish Prime Minister, for quite some time now he has been accused of taking money from various sources.  It has been a source of great amusment to me to listen to his explanations – one goes along these lines:

I cash my wages check -cause while being the minister of finance for the whole country I did not have a bank account – and then I changed some of this Irish money into Sterling – then I sent my assistant to lodge the money into bank accounts in my children’s names converting the self same sterling back into Irish pounds.  Did I do anything illegal – of course not, I can do what I want with my money.

And the really cool thing about all this is the Irish people keep voting him back in.

Do you have any thoughts on Bertie?
