Bertie Ahern Gaffe - calls GW Bush great

Irish PM Bertie Ahern failing to do his job, 29 November 2006. Bertie was asked about the use of Irish airports by CIA rendition flights, and says he doesn't think it needs to be investigated because Bush assured him it was cool. He calls GW Bush 'great', but his body language reveals his discomfort at knowing he's a lying traitor.

Is this what all those great men died for, James Conolly Padraig Pearse Michael Collins Wolfe tone etc etc Just so a crook like this can have the run of the country , the man is a disgrace to this country, the people who vote for him, should hang their head in shame!!!!!!

Bush and Ahern deserve each other. Ahern is spineless, he stands for nothing except power.Typical irish politican dull and uninspiring.
