He's a good decent man and I probably woulda voted for the chap. That being said using state paper to make that personal representation? Not a good idea. That was bound to come back and bite him on the ass, especially in the context of yer mans conviction (could the chap not have found a lad somewhere nearer his age group for sex?) So its too bad I reckon David Norris woulda been a good president but the oul position was a but untenable.
How would the other world leaders welcome him, when they knew his past? Don't think it would be good and he did the best choice, by pulling out.
