Slog - Comments on Another GOP Sex Scandal http://slog.thestranger.com/2007/10/another_gop_sex_scandal They just keep coming. But, hey, let's focus on the important stuff--like whether or not the chair of Wisconsin's Brown County Republican Party was wearing an American flag lapel pin when he allegedly fondled that boy. And when the chair of the Brown County GOP offered the kid pot and alcohol and free laundry service--really--were the bumper stickers on his car sufficiently supportive of our troops? The Brown County Republican Party chair has been charged with performing sexual acts on a boy under 18 and giving marijuana to a minor, according to court documents. Donald Fleischman faces felony counts of...

The chatty guy is a little too talkative for my friend's taste. At any rate, it turns out that Chatty Charlie is married with kids. So my coworker joked that he must be a closeted Republican. Funny Republicans. Or is that scary? Or sick? I lose track. . .

Do you think W. will curtail any planned $1000/plate dinners in Brown County?

We have already passed the point where it's safe to assume that all Republicans are complete perverts. As soon as a Republican shows his face in public, on TV, or at a church social it is safe to assume that his next stop is an all-male underage diaper-wearing orgy.

"You know, I was a little hesitant staying at his house when he said he'd give us all the free beer and marijuana we could ever want, but when he upped the ante and said he'd do our laundry... well, that just sealed the deal."

Remind me again--which psycho bigoted hypocritical Republican asshole is into diapers? The scary part is that it could be any one of so many people. Of course the thought of Dick Cheney or Pat Buchanan in a pair of giant Pampers is enough to make me want to soak my head in a bucket of Lysol.

Granted the legislators wanted to lock the preverts up and throw away the key but had to come up with some determinant number. But why not 52 years three months 2 days and 17 hours and eight minutes?

They think it would be "cool" to live with 16-year olds who "skateboard" and "masturbate." Tubular!

You even beat Wonkette to the story (I'm sure when they wake up from their hangovers tomorrow, they'll be on it).

And no, I don't find this even the slightest bit surprising any more.

Like, when you join the GOP, you must fill out a form with lots of check boxes that disclose all your kinks and perversions. They have check boxes for diaper wearing, for airport bathroom cruising, for meth fueled blowjobs, for Sk8R Boi masturbation etc. These forms then get sealed in a vault by the GOP Illuminati... until you step out of line. Like you pass on the $1200 a plate dinner in favor of the $800 a plate dinner. Then your kinks are leaked to the media.

Completely off topic, but as I type this, there's a banner down the side of the page for the Kangaroo & Kiwi Pub, advertising the 2007 Rubgy World Cup. Is that a typo, or is there really an international competition for rubbing guys?

I don't think it's true of most of the women.

At the same point that we assume that Democrats are using cigars as dildos to fuck interns in their offices.

After the success of Santorum, it is time for a
New phrase: "Having a wide stance".

Taken from www.thismodernworld.com

Name for phenomenon suggested by reader S.T.:

Perhaps espousing anti-gay positions while secretly craving homosexual love should enter the lexicon as “having a wide stance”.
Besides being a highly quoted Craig line, it can be taken to mean your public stance is way wide of your private stance, as it were.

Anyone remember the Republican candidate for governor of some midwest state (Illinois?) who dropped out of the race after it was revealed he went to a strip club?

What the hell is going on with these latest? How far they've ... uh ... come?

The confusion is understandable because almost all the politicians in Illinois are named Ryan, but the Ryan who dropped out of the Senate race did so because of a scandal that arose after his wife, Star Trek's Seven of Nine, protested his plan to fuck her in public in a sex club in France.

And that's how Barack Obama reached the national spotlight -- because an Irishman wanted to show off.
