I don’t think it absolves her at all. Where did I say that?

Ah right, my mistake, so you agree, she’s a cunt. I’m glad we’re on the same page.
I didn’t say that either. Stop being silly. I told you yesterday, you had invested way too much in this.
Your concern is odd, but nonetheless touching. I love you too.
I wont comment anymore on her anyway, I’ve said my piece.
Has to be O’Reilly.
She took her kids to the wake house to get in to sympathise as a grieving mother, secretly recorded the conversation she had with a mother who had just lost her mother, husband, two sons and her sister and used the conversation to write an “exclusive” interview. The family had naturally expressed no desire to do any interviews in the immediate aftermath, sure I can’t even comprehend the levels of grief they must have been going through. The mother was completely unaware that she was being interviewed, and her actions should have immediately informed O’Reilly that this was the case - she let her hold the surviving baby FFS. To capitalize such vulnerability to get a scoop, by such awful means is true cuntishness. It’s so acute and calculated. One of the most gut wrenchingly sad tragedies here in a long time, and O’Reilly preys on the worst effected person by using her own kids as props to mislead and fudge the purpose of her presence.
As has been pointed out, she was an experienced journalist of 20 years, had a three-hour drive to consider what she was about to do. She even had a cooling off period afterwards where she could have mitigated her dishonesty by not writing about what the mother said to her. But no, she proceeded to put it in a tasteless splash in a national newspaper.
I know it can be said that she may have been pressurised into doing it, but that’s conjecture. At the end of the day, it was her name on the article and it was her who did the morally rotten things that lead to the article. She’s a horrid cunt and what she did was the outstanding act of cuntishness in 2016.

I gave Paul Williams one of my two votes. I know he’s a perennial cunt but he was omnipresent in his 2016 cuntishness. From his pathetic Late Late Show appearance on the eve of the general election to his perma-boner about Dublin gangland killings he’s just a revolting puppet cunt.

I can’t handle living in a country where there are 3 bigger cunts than Paul Williams tbh.

My experience tells me that the votes of the lower placed candidates will be redistributed one way or the other.
This is how these things work.
In answer to your question on the Conor Cruise O’Brien Perpetual Shield, I propose that it be awarded to a cunt who has made a significant contribution to the competition over the years without ever winning the big prize.

No one has made a more significant contribution than yourself Sid 
It sadden me to withdraw my vote for Bruton and give it to O’Reily … I won’t be budging from Breslin even tho he is well out of the race.

While I have been nominated several times for the competition (I was nominated at least five times in one day in 2015), I’m thinking more of a Jimmy White or Tony O’Shea type, so near and yet so far candidate.

Bruton’s body of work is more than deserving of that award. It’s a travesty that he didn’t win the mug last year.

You’re a quitter pal. We don’t like guys that cut and run.
FOAD.
An incredible surge from Kelly
Two hours left.
Kelly has made an O’Donovan brothers-like surge through the field
O’Reilly looks to have been Swift Boated.
Bruton’s chances are on a wing on a prayer now. Can the clergy yet bring him back from the dead?
Fuck it I’d forgot about that.
Absolutely outrageous cuntishness. Were RTE ever brought to task over that?
i just voted twice there 
But you didn’t really.
Who is Paul Kelly?
