Seriously, I have<\/span> to invoke South Park!<\/span><\/div>\n

Remember a few days back, when I referenced Americablog’s story about how a right-wing Irish anti-gay bigot was herself sleeping with a 19 year old boy<\/a>?<\/p>\n

It’s legal, but real hypocrisy, and it just got worse:<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, it emerged this weekend that Iris Robinson also had an affair with 19-year-old Kirk McCambley’s father<\/span>, a butcher who died from cancer. She had another affair<\/span> with a fellow DUP member in the 1980s which was witnessed by the security forces.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

(emphasis mine<\/span>)<\/p>\n

It appears that the founder of the DUP, and fellow bigot, Rev. Ian Paisley is in full “going postal” mode over this.<\/p>\n

Well, the story gets even weirder<\/span>, because bloggers with way too much free time on their hands have uncovered her recipe for “chocolate balls<\/a>, and this, in turn has uncovered the coverage of her recipe at the time in the Belfast Telegraph<\/span><\/a>, which is just full of double entendre:<\/p>\n

Food lovers across Northern Ireland are being given the chance to nibble on Iris Robinson’s chocolate balls<\/span>, included in a new charity cookbook.<\/p>\n

No, this is not The Onion<\/span>.<\/p>\n

Reality is very<\/span> odd sometimes.<\/p>\n
