 | In a bizarre case of life imitating art, the wife of Peter Robinson, the First Minister of Northern Ireland has been exposed as having an affair with a much younger man.
Mrs Robinson, aged 60, has admitted having an affair with a young man now aged 21 who she also helped to set up a restaurant business.
However it is much more than the Robinsons´ affair as controversy surrounding a loan of £50,000, that Mr Robinson failed to declare in the register of members´ interests, may cause Peter Robinson to have to resign from his position as leader of the Northern Ireland Assembly.
Much of the press in the UK have been covering the story but few have made the link to the famous lyric, except for this news blogger:

 | I put a post on here a few days ago stating that Paul Simon had the soundtrack for Ireland this last week with Slip sliddin´ Away and Mrs Robinson. shortly after I posted the site went down and my post disappeared. i thought sinister forces were afoot.
Irish radio including serious news programs have been playing Mrs Robinson a few times:) |

 | The site went to a new server so I´m afraid your post about the soundtrack got lost.
Always nice to hear Paul still gets radio time :)

 | This news story made the main news page on yahoo in the US. Despite the circumstances, it would be nice to see S&G have a new Number 1. |
