Dempsey went from Minister for State in OPW, to Environment, to Transport, to Education, to Marine,
to Transport.
Each time he left a trail of corruption, cronyism and destruction.
He's gone full circle now, the little shit!

They have been in power too long and just press the buttons. Half the civil service are corrupted too.
And probablt subsist on a diet of uppers, gin and viagra.

Of all the characteristics of the crank, the relationship between ability & perceived ability is a real indicator. The crank feels their ability is higher than all others & correspondingly dismisses the ability of others. Naturally this fuels outrage. Therefore as a crank it is important to always catch yourself before licking the envelope and asking the post master to apply the stamps & ponder are you really "the expert"? Well, I've pondered the supposed subsistence diet the last contributor would have us believe the corrupt rascals who govern us keep. Now, without getting too uppity, I know about mixing chemicals and substances & can tell you gin, viagra and uppers is a recipe for pain & discomfort & more to the point horrible facial disfigurement, lasting damage to the lymphatic system & a paunch which will hide your genitals from gaze for ever.
You'd be better off starting the day with strong coffee, doing some pelvic floor exercises, eating a decent lunch & then around 6pm getting your first lines in. A healthy drug-addled mind is a mind which knows not to push the envelope beyond its natural recuperative abilties. Alternate - meths & crack one week - smack & barbiturates the next. Try it out - you'll see I'm right.
