Man, do I love this photo (AP, via the NYT). The lovely woman with the giant crucifix turns out to be the gay-bashing wife of the Prime Minister of Northern Ireland, who had an affair with a whippersnapper forty years her junior, and gave him $80,000 to open a cafe. And her name is Mrs. Robinson! The second half of the story is markedly less hilarious.
1/12 update: now that Mrs. Robinson is on the record claiming the gays are worse than pedophiles, and that the affair with the 19-year-old took place in the immediate aftermath of his father’s death, and that she’d also had an affair with the late father, the whole thing is less hilarious. Still a great picture, though.
