I’ve always had a soft spot in my heart for women who like sex, so I won’t join in kicking Mrs. Robinson while she’s down, especially since she’s already made a suicide attempt.
She tried to comfort a young man who had lost his father, and apparently hormones did the rest. As I recall, Eddie Fisher tried to comfort Elizabeth Taylor after she lost Mike Todd, and wound up in bed and divorce court. Losing Debbie Reynolds was a serious long term blow to Eddie.
The young man was of age, so unless Iris Robinson is proven to have sold her public office, this matter is strictly between her and her Prime Minister husband. I wonder how long it’s been since he gave his wife some marital affection? Maybe that’s why he’s hasn’t made any move to file for divorce.
Well, it just goes to show that things are getting nice and normal in the old dump. Nothing like a trivial Page Six sex scandal to show that the Troubles are really over.
I basically feel the same way you do, but its hard to avoid a laugh at the name coincidence. I read in a related article that the gossip was temporarily uniting Catholics and Protestants in a common activity.
