So, if Gaybo is Prez, who’ll patronisingly suggest that I buy my nearest and dearest visi-vests for Christmas?

yahooo fianna fail offering their support to Gay Byrne means he wont be president and his higher than thou attitude will not be seen to represent Ireland….Now Gay do us all a favour and shut up and realise Ireland doesnt need/want a condescending muppet for a president.

It’s ironic for Gaybo to be supported by Fianna Fáil “because the Irish people needed a president who was not so closely connected with the established political system”. Last time I checked, Fianna Fáil was still the most corrupt and reviled part of the established political system, with judgement duly delivered on it by the Irish people at the last election.

Saying that Gaybo’s potential political naivety “may actually work to his advantage” is just like saying ‘the Irish people are a shower of ignorant gobshites who’ll swallow any old shite” just goes to show how out of touch with reality O’Dea and his rump party are.

Maybe FF could support Ryan Tubridy instead. He has got more time to concentrate on running since he packed up tweeting.

When I first heard about Gaybo I thought it was a joke on Gift Grub. So far I don’t see anyone that would get my vote running.

Please no!!!

He’s too old!! He’ll be 84 by the time his term finishes.

This is better than bread and circuses.

If Gay Byrne enters into this race it’ll become a bigger joke then it (and he) already is.

Nice to see FF are in touch with the younger generation in Ireland who wouldn’t vote for this muppet in a heartbeat!

Fianna Fail support, the kiss of death.

This joke of a country goes from bad to worse , it just goes to show that the entire elite establishment that runs this country think of the citizens as the greatest grouping of muppets that ever lived on planet earth! A has been broadcaster that lost his fortune twice, now fancies a handy well paid job in the aras and a secure pension and what happens…. his buddies in rte and the irish independent plaster him all over the media, the corrupt cronies in FF see a handy way out of their presidential problems and hey presto we get gaybo as president! So the desirable job attributes needed to be president are , host a tv programme!, be a dragon in a den!, lose your money twice in property deals!, sing in a eurovision song contest!, get backing from corrupt cronies !, and finally give a free load of crap to all the muppets in the audience !

So instead of a gay President we get President Gay. I guess when his term is up it’ll be President Pat followed by President Ryan. The Late Late Show v0.2!

Of course they do. Well suited together. Match made in hell. Boils my piss !!!

Marty Whelan for president!!

Extract from gay michell election camp
I am the only gay in the election

The first decision Mehole (a hundred reports and one HSE) Martin makes since he got the job of Failure In Chief, and it is to try and hitch the other Failures to what they see as Gaybo’s populist wagon. In one fell swoop, they reckon they can avoid the expense of putting Brian (Expenses and Holy Mary) Crowley in the firing line, and win some glory by “supporting” an Independent candidate.

They’ve already dipped a toe in the water in cautious fashion, with the entry of Sean (Independent) Gallagher into the melee.

Typical grasping, cute hoor Fianna Fail behaviour. They haven’t changed one iota, as if people thought they would.

On Gay, he is on record as saying he felt closest to FF, and of course Honest Bert awarded him with a cushy role in the RSA. Nay sayers point to the Pee Flynn interview as some sort of hatchet job, forgetting that Pee managed to stick the axe in his back all on his own. The “hilarious” story of Lenihan Sr. asking a guard after hours if he wanted a pint or a transfer got plenty of guffaws from Gay too (that whole show was an ill disguised attempt at FF promotion for the Presidency in the first instance, where Pee Flynn accused Robinson of neglecting her children for the sake of her career-and Beverly turned out so well!)

So, is Gay the nation’s grandad? Could be, if said grandad regularly blows his pension money on the horses and pools, has the charisma of Alf Garnett, and reckons things were better when DeValera was in charge.

i didnt want a gay president from the start , ah sure looks like were going to have one now.

Not to be contrary to all the moaners above; but who else is there??
The race for the Áras currently stands as Leprechaun vs Right Wing Zealot vs Opportunist vs Vanilla…
It’s Gay Byrne FFS!! I mean , can get why someone wouldn’t vote for him or whatever, but how can you hate Gay Byrne??!
He’s like the nation’s Grandad…!

A campaign should be organised to protest against this aras election and how the politicians are using it to bluff the people.We dont need a mini foreign affairs dept.So on polling day Spoil your vote,they have to count them.

Now that I think of it with Gay Mitchell running it could end up being a battle of the gays!
