Stand By Your Woman

The Robinson scandal hasn’t peaked yet; so it’s probably too early to start being glib about the very serious nature of this Northern Irish, political hot potato that is currently cooking up a storm over the Irish sea. But hey ho, here I go anyway.

Mrs Robinson used her political advantage to financially help her 19 year old McCrumpet set up his Cafe, while her politically important husband knew about it but didn’t mention it. Probably because he didn’t want everyone to know that his wife was getting put through by a teenager.

What is the naughty universe up to? First, of all we get Tiger ‘The Super Shagger, and now a bit more interesting’, Woods having a grubby affair with a cocktail waitress called Jaimee Grubbs, all very grubby indeed. Now this Irish MP bird, she’s called Mrs Robinson and she’s got a toy boy. When Anne Bancroft got put through by Dustin Hoffman in The Graduate, she was nominated for an Oscar. It’s a poetic political satire. Finally women of politics are getting some decent young hot c*ck action, in real life. Lets face it, the Currie/Major canoodling was enough to make you wretch. I guess if you can’t beat them, join ‘em. I wonder if the media will offer McCrumpet a naked centrefold spread, and he’ll become a celebrity, following the footsteps of the likes of Abi Titmus and Antonia whats-her-face that got put through by David Mellor. ‘My dirty nights with Mrs Robinson, she could go all night.’ (There are plenty of other examples, I just can’t be bothered to google them and find out who they are.)

McCrumpet is a bit of hot totty (young man), and at least he has an entrepreneurial nature and is trying to set up his own business. I think that is admirable in a 19 year old. I think the youth of today should set up their own businesses and be more entrepreneurial, instead of bemoaning the facts there are no jobs out there. They have got time, hands, heads, energy and enthusiasm. What more do you need? At the end of the day if your Sugar Mummy can give you a cash injection, while you give her the hot beef injection, that is a good return on investment. Plus, he’s certainly not the first in history to financially benefit from exploiting sexual contacts in the higher echelons of power. It’s just that normally it’s women that benefit from being shafted by men in politics.

I have always found it curious that a mistress is the lover of a married man. There is not a dedicated word for the lover of a married woman, other than:

toy boy = but he has to be younger
gigolo = paid for
lover = generic term for both sexes.

Is Mr Robinson going to stand by his woman? Or will he will he quietly exit stage left and distance himself from her filthy, crazy, mentalist ways. Hilary stood by Bill, when Monica blew him. Posh stood by Beckham when he had an affair with dirty Sanchez. There is a history of women standing by their men in the face of great humiliation. I wonder if Mr Robinson will be stoic enough to stand by his woman. Even if it means sacrificing his own political career. By the looks of it he should stand by her, and stand down as First Minister, for the sake of Northern Irish devolution.
