'Ironic' doesn't even come close...

From here - http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/northern_ireland/4662565.stm
Usual round of Condemation and Support from various religious and polictical leaders in Norn Iron. But this one stood out for some reason..

Sinn Fein President Gerry Adams said he had sent a message of sympathy and solidarity to Prime Minister Tony Blair and Mayor of London Ken Livingstone.

"On behalf of Sinn Fein I offer my sincere condolences to the victims and the families of those killed and injured and to the people of London," he said.

Um. Dude. Seriously. WTF?

Yes I know we've Moved On and its a damn good thing that it wasn't actually Gerry himself doing the blowing up this time. But still. How does he not choke on his own hypocrisy saying this stuff?

I know I know, as a politician he develops auto-immunity to his own hypocrisy. But ... words fail me.

My response was to this when I read was, 'Oooh! Argh! How can he...? Gnn...'. That's the closest possible representation of the mindless burblage spilling from my lips as I read with, not dibelief, because I've grown to expect this sort of thing, but more... horror.

I really just can't vocalise or comprehend the... hatred? Contempt? Bitterness? that bearded **** fosters in my heart when I hear his fish like lips warbling more mealy mouthed... GAH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I give up.

Very similar to my own response. There I was skimming through the usual 'deeply shocked' etc and came tho that and went ' GNAHH wha...' and choked.

I don't think there ARE words for it

I wonder if there is any chance of them ever being sincere...

I would say NO
