Eh....guilty.
She’s gonna resign now over some financial scandal.
I tip my hat to her though for pissing off the gays.
She’s a member of the conservative (but anti-Catholic perhaps to the point of bigotry) DUP. The other Unionist party the UPP is officially tied to the Tories but they are very CINO, their 1 remaining MP has voted with Labour most the time. The 2 nationalist parties are the leftist SDP and extreme far left Sinn Fein. In other words Northern Irish politics suck.
Time hasn't been as kind to other women her age. For example, Kathleen Sebelius is about the same age as Iris Robinson, and if that 19 year old slept with her he might as well be doin' granny:
(Sorry, hope I didn't make any freepers lose their lunch at the thought of Kathleen Sebelius in heat)
On a related note, I don't get why all these liberals start screaming "hypocrite!!" whenever an anti-gay marriage politician turns out to be a horny heterosexual female. Do they understand what the word "hypocrite" means? Catch the anti-gay marriage politician secretly getting hitched to someone of the same gender and you can scream hypocrite all you want. Until then, Iris Robinson and Carrie Prejean are as "hypocritical" as a vegan activist is if they're caught not recycling.
And yeah, Northern Ireland political parties suck. Absolutely no place for conservative Catholics. Either join a bunch of monarchy-loving, anti-Catholic WASPs if you want a conservative platform, or join some socialist wackjobs if you don't want Catholics to be 2nd class citizens and dislike the useless monarchy running Ireland. At least here in the USA we have Ron Paulites for voters that happen to hold the odd combination of hard-core conservative domestic policy combined with Dennis Kucinish type foreign policy views. You think they could come up with some kind of political group for Conservative Catholics in northern Ireland. They're quite prominent in the rest of the UK.
