A political scandal riveting Northern Ireland has a certain cinematic feel: an affair by 58-year-old woman named Mrs. Robinson with a 19-year-old male lover.

She was 58 when the affair happened, and she’s known him for ten years.

Big Deal. If it were a 58 year old man with a 19 year old gal no one would care.

One word: FRAUD.

Or the other way to look at it is that is over 100,000 dollars for a tryst. So two words, Boy Whore.

I don't have a problem with the sabertooth cougar issue. But I would think a lot more people would be looking at the money issue.

Not bad for her age, but the teeth could use a bit of work.
