Jimmy Page’s Trousers

Oddly enough, from the searches that are finding me in the last day or two, it seems that if you Google the words “Mary Harney” on the ‘pages from Ireland’ option I appear on the first page*. Yep, at number nine in the Google results for Mary is a post where I call her an awful bastard.

Who’d have thought it? Not me, that’s for sure.

I also got a pingback thing from being quoted on www.irishelection.com. And they’re a ‘proper’ site. Among their other, proper, articles and links is a quote from me calling Harney a horrible harridan (and more).

Look at me. Political pundit.

She is an awful bastard though. And she didn’t resign (quelle surprise). Bertox said that she “is not the one to blame and not the one who will be found blameworthy” once investigations are finished. He went on to say that “HSE management are accountable for their direct management of the system. Individual clinicians, and health managers, are also accountable for the actions which they took, or did not take. In the case of the HSE, they are accountable to the Minister, and thus to the Government, and in addition to Dáil Éireann”.

Well, now we know where the buck actually stops - just before it gets to Mary. “The Minister Responsible” is just a phrase. They can’t possibly be responsible. How could they be? That’d be silly.

At least I don’t have to eat her foot.

* UPDATE: I should really have saved off this page rather than just linking to it as, and such is the transient nature of search engine results, I’m no longer in the top ten. Trust me though, for one glorious week, a search for Mary Harney would have found my abuse in the top ten. Hurrah for fleeting triumph.
