Sport and the presidency

If I mention the race for the Áras, will you turn the page? You won’t? Many thanks.

Having observed from a safe distance the — is ‘dysfunctional farrago’ too hard? Too soft? — race for nominations, it surprises me that more people haven’t applied a metric which is one of the unspoken tests in presidential races across the water.

No, no the religion question (as in, what belief system have the focus groups suggested is least objectionable to mouth-breathers at the ballot box?) but the sport question.
