Really Lucky Guy
Irish politicians are so lovable, even in disgrace. Former Taoiseach (Prime Minister) Bertie Ahern -- who recently resigned after caught taking payoffs from developers -- said he now remembers that the piles of cash deposited in his and his daughter's bank accounts were winnings from the racetrack. Judging by the amounts discovered by tribunal counsel Des O'Neill's legal team, Ahern must be a really lucky guy.
