Bertie a socialist?

Ireland’s taoiseach, Bertie Ahern, recently announced that he is “one of the few socialists left in Irish politics”. HAHAHAHAHA! Eamonn McCann says, “If Bertie Ahern is a socialist the moon is a balloon, Ian Paisley is a member of Opus Dei and Tony Blair never told a lie in his life.” He governs with the support of Ireland’s most right-wing parliamentary party, and is also allied with post-fascist European parties. Here’s an entertaining explanation for his sudden conversion.

    That was hardly surprising, Peter. If, say, the SDA switched sides, you might have a point.
