Police said that when the Rev. Craig S. Rhodenizer, 46, was confronted by an officer, he began crying and said he couldn't remember anything about the 36 hours he was missing. But dancers at the club remembered Rhodenizer. They told investigators that Rhodenizer spent two hours drinking, soliciting dances and making threatening comments. He also said he wanted to take the dancers back to his motel, according to the police report....

There is many a time where I couldn't remember my previous 36 hours too.

I probably was even soliciting dances. The threatening comments, not so much.

The Rhodenizer. From now on, can we say that a clergy member exposed as a lying hypocrite and sex fiend has been "Rhodenized"?

His congregation will forgive him the minute he steps back across his church's threshhold, and his "transgression" will be chalked up to the work of Satan, teh gays, and Godless, librul Democrats, so everything is completely copacetic.

I love the way these religious types want to tell everyone else how to act so lets double the penalty for them. Lets see, how about if we make it against the law for "christians" to get birth control. No, wait, who needs more of them? I know, since they don't believe in evolution, let's make it against the law to receive any medical cures that use DNA. After all, DNA is the evolutionary track record. Or how about a law that says no cures from stem cell research for "christians". Let's impose a little what's good for the goose.

It is a conspiracy just like those guys who were quietly talking on the bus to get people to go to Mars Hill.

Perhaps from his own oppression of himself?

He wasn't breaking any laws, so I don't think this is a huge deal as much as I kinda feel bad for the guy.

However, booze and tits does not a monster make! At least he wasn't fondling minors or drug trafficking!
