And I would like to notify them that in Ireland, the president (currently Michael Higgins, different guy than the taoiseach Micheál Martin) is Uachtarán na hÉireann (President of Ireland). Uachtarán means cream (like when cream rises, also why we say "cream of the crop" in English).

All of this to say, while America may have a big wet boy for now, Ireland always has and will always have a creamy boy.

you're fine, he is still widely known/portrayed, here and elsewhere, as The Cool Irish Revolutionary (we are even taught in school that he was brave and good for signing the treaty) so i totally get it. just something i feel the need to push back on when I see it because it's a symptom of the prevailing liberal historiography of the period.
