So, Ireland's favourite gay man has withdrawn from the race to be President after it emerged that he wrote a letter as Senator to an Israeli court, seeking clemency in a homosexual statutory rape case against a former partner of his.

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.
Bada Bing!!!
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.
