Iris Robinson, the Irish lawmaker who you only care about because she makes terrible statements about the gays and was outed for having an affair with a much younger twink, has resigned from parliament. We’re told it’s hard to cast votes on bills while stowed away at a mental health facility.
What’s quite unfathomable, then, is that while Robinson is embroiled in shame and scandal, and opting to leave office, in the United States we have very similar situations — but with none of the consequences. From Nevada Sen. John Ensign to South Carolina’s Gov. Mark Sanford, we’ve got a couple of raging homophobes whose own extramarital affairs were exposed, but with none of this “having to give up their jobs” nonsense. Like, kudos to them for withstanding such public scrutiny and wishing to “serve the public” from the arena of douchebaggery.
Well, here’s to you.

This miserable sour pussed crunt proved that there actually is such a thing as Gay karma. One of her choice nuggets which she spewed from her vile mouth was that “Gays are worse than child molesters”……..All the while whilst pontificating from her high horse she was diddling a teen, who was most likely underage when she began the affair…….We can only hope that Maggot Gallagher had ruffled the Gay karma gods enough for her to get her well deserved dose of what goes around……..

What is Maggot?

@ Mr. Woo: Literally, it’s the little baby flies that gestate in rotten food and corpses. You know, they look like little white worms. Don’t know what the Chinese name for them is. Any bi-linguals in here?
Around Queerty, it’s a pseudonym for an anti-gay politician named Maggie Gallagher. LOL

@No.2 Mr. Woo
While others may have their own claims of originality, I coined the moniker Maggot as a reference to Maggie Gallagher, the hateful vile homophobic bigot who hypocritically shouts about the needs of a child for one mother and one father yet determined that in her case she didn’t need a husband when she had her child.
I have been using the Maggot moniker here on Queerty (only started viewing Q this past summer, and for about two years on posts at Joe.My.God. and Towleroad. I love seeing the Maggot moniker used by others and hope that it goes everywhere.
Other monikers I like are Porno Pete (first saw that on Joe.My.God.) and Prick Warren, from Queerty’s Schlunick (think I spelled that wrong, sorry).

I sometimes call Porno Pete “Pebbles” because he hangs around a lot with Matt “Bam Bam” Barber. The infantilism fits well with his kinky sex obsession.

Why do I get the feeling that the only way Queerty will stop referring to Northern Ireland’s disgraced first lady Iris Robinson as “Irish” is if she wins an Academy award or the Nobel peace prize? Then she’ll finally be described as British.
zooee
yes, please stop confusing irish politics and british/northern irish politics. its pretty ignorant.
not saying the irish republic is much better though!
also, by the way, do you know that a young politician from the same party as Iris was exiled from his post be peter robinson in recent years because he was exposed in the press of having an affair with another man.
and, alsox10, the bbc radio broadcaster who hosted the now famous interview with iris about homosexuality is allegedly gay and refuses to mention it.
