Rubes of the World: Northern Ireland

Much of the discussion (and criticism) on this page is directed at Rubes of North American lineage. In the spirit of equality, and also to establish that there is no "anti-Americanism" lest there be an Ulster Fry boycott, it is necessary that we put on display some of the worlds most accomplished Rubes.

I refer you to the DUP (Democratic Unionist Party). For our American readers we must clarify that in Northern Ireland there are also 2 sides to the political landscape. The difference is that Northern Irish Democrats are the right wing bible thumping lunatics and the Republicans are the left wing socialists. Apologies for the confusion, we've been struggling with the whole thing since the 1700s. So, feast your eyes on the ugliest, most bigoted bunch of politicians anywhere on the globe, read the speeches, check out the mugshots, and understand why we need them off our TV screens for ever.

Of course we must elevate at least one member of this hideous band to the Hall of Rubes. That man is Sammy Wilson. Sammy, get your clothes on and come on down you useless sack of poop.
