She presented Ahern with the first Oldcastle Award on Irish-American Affairs.

And, undoubtedly, the last! An "invented" award, used as a prop for a photo op.

Ya know, :-), I wonder how close this dude lives to Bubba's newly acquired Irish "House". Wonder if rents rooms??

Interestingly there was NO COVERAGE by the media of the dinner given for Ahern by the governor last night.

Is it true that bertie will be bring back some RU 486 as a personal gift from that well known Irish woman hildebeast clinocchio?
The Irish up in that area have closer ties to Ireland. That means that they are socialists as they would be in the old country. It is natural that they would just love the rats is this country.

Upstate to Bertie: No thanks.

Clinton is playing upstate voters like a fiddle.

Two things here the word “celebrity” and the coy - she has “denied that she will enter the race.”

She will not enter the race until she is drafted at the DNC convention. As for Prime Minister Bertie Ahern, he is looking for deep pockets from the democratic “patch”., charming little leprechaun that he is.

The Irish Catholics, to their shame have been 'Kennedyed' for so long, they will fail to see the danger in courting Mrs. Clinton. Is up-state NY just another Boston burg? Or can they still elect honest people.
