The best defense is a good offense, as they say, and Iris Robinson—Northern Ireland's most prominent raving anti-gay bigot/politician—gave great offense. She made a show slamming the sexual immorality of others—mostly the geighs—and all the while...

Iris Robinson had an affair with a teenager she had known from the age of nine and who was in an emotionally vulnerable position following his father's death. [And] it emerged this weekend that Iris Robinson also had an affair with 19-year-old Kirk McCambley's father, a butcher who died from cancer. She had another affair with a fellow DUP member in the 1980s which was witnessed by the security forces.

Here's to you, Mrs. Robinson, for doing your part to discredit all the anti-gay ranters out there. A few more scandals yours—and they seem to be coming in massive ropey spurts these days—and it won't be long before a majority of straight folks finally realize that anti-gay ravers come in just two flavors: assholes who are externalizing their own internal struggles against their gay natures and desires (Haggard, Craig, Crist, Ratzinger, et al) and assholes who are attempting to compensate for and draw attention away from their own moral shortcomings by attacking gay people (Vitter, Sanford, Ensign, Gingrich, et al). JoeMyGod is all over this one.
