Is this not what the famous, or infamous Dr. Paisley said on this date?
Could it be that Marty and Ian had a pact . . "I won't tell if you won't tell."'I'll jail McGuinness any day soon', jokes Paisley
(This article appeared in the May 6, 2007 edition of the Sunday Tribune.)
In less than 48 hours, they'll be running the North together but old habits die hard for the Rev Ian Paisley. "Yes, I have respect for Mr McGuinness, my deputy. I am prepared to incarcerate him any day soon!" says the DUP leader before bursting into a fit of laughter.
The First Minister in-waiting is in robust humour and can't wait to take the reins of power: "I'm not particularly looking forward to Tuesday. It will be very theatrical. What I'm looking forward to is the important bit, the challenge of the days ahead.
"I don't think I will be constantly at loggerheads with Mr McGuinness. We will have a working arrangement. There will be certain things I won't do and places I won't go, and it will be the same for him.
"There is a long hard road ahead. We're not in paradise yet. But I believe we can build a better Northern Ireland which has a place for everyone who abides by the rule of law."
