It didn’t take long. Bertie Ahern, the Irish prime minister, announced his resignation yesterday and already the joke emails are pouring in. (Thanks Brian and Louise!)

The Bertie score card above is from Bifsniff.com (but created by Brendan O’Connell), anyone want to claim credit for the others? Unfortunately email forwarders don’t usually give credit ..
Gavin, who has blogged the Mahon Tribunal for so long has given his own reaction as well as a chronology of events leading to the resignation yesterday. It’s scary how long the Teflon Taoiseach managed to survive in politics. Nothing stuck to him.
Edit: Green Ink created Bertie 300. Thanks for commenting!

Bertie was a brilliant target, he will be missed! Bring on the Biffo!
Yea I felt strangely sad on hearing the news. It is the end of and era and, yes, an easy target.
Some funny stuff btw!
i am sure that bertie will leave a blank in irish politics, just like his blank cheques [SIC]
Why do we Irish look back at inept, corrupt scum like Ahern with affection. This man is a criminal and shoud be in prison..
So know that he has thoroughly been picked on who will be next? THere are so many to choose from!!!
