[Anyone] those republican family values:

[Mike in Taos]

There once was a gal named Lewinsky
Who played on a flute like Stravinsky
'Twas "Hail to the Chief"
On this flute made of beef
That stole the front page from Kaczynski.

>Who Will Be the Next Republican Caught With Their Pants Down?  By Guest 
>Blogger
>Posted on July 13, 2007, Printed on July 14, 2007
>http://www.alternet.org/bloggers/guest/56868/  This post, written by Howie 
>Klein, originally appeared on Down With Tyranny!
>   David Vitter is still hiding under his bed and refusing to talk to 
>anyone.
>   One of the prostitutes he's hired-- not for a quickie but for a three 
>year stretch of infidelity-- told about the sweet relationship they had, 
>although it did cause her to break up with her boyfriend. But she did say 
>that she sometimes worried about Vitter's grotesque hypocrisy, even if he 
>didn't. "Yow characterized the senator as a good man but said she was 
>perturbed that he portrayed himself as a politician who would bring moral 
>authority to his office when he was using her services on the side." 
>Basically Vitter would like to say the pass he got from God for his 
>transgressions regarding the DC Madam was a pass that covers all his 
>decades of philandering with prostitutes everywhere. And, in case that 
>isn't admissible in a court of law, he also points out that he had no 
>ownership or managerial role in the Canal Street whore house he was 
>frequenting. Oh, ok-- I guess that makes him eligible to still run 
>Giuliani's campaign in the South.
>   Yesterday we mentioned that the North Carolina Republican lunatic who 
>ran around his office with his pecker in his hand, chasing some poor 
>legislative assistant while screaming she should perform fellatio on him 
>had the decency to resign after just a week of prodding from fellow 
>wingnuts who were embarrassed that his hypocrisy as a good Republican 
>family man would rub off on their images as well.
>   But what North Carolina Republicans figured out was good for David 
>Almond is apparently not what Florida's Republican Party loons have worked 
>out in regard to their own wayward maniac, Rep. Bob Allen, a situation that 
>is further complicated by the fact that he is the co-chairman of John "Gay 
>Sweaters" McCain's Florida presidential campaign. The short version: 
>McCain's man in Florida was soliciting sex from males in a public toilet-- 
>a very very Republican activity; just ask Idaho Senator Larry Craig) when 
>he wound up stalking a plain clothes policeman and offering him $20 in 
>return for sucking on the law official's member. He was arrested and booked 
>and is now saying he is innocent. PageOneQ has all the sordid details-- and 
>they are sordid-- and a photocopy of the arrest documents.
>   On top of the gay sweaters incident Bob Allen's circus is proving to be 
>a horrifying embarrassment to the little that is left of a John McCain 
>campaign. Allen says he will not resign and that this whole incident is 
>"ugly."
>   His attorney, Philip Lupo, said Allen would plead not guilty to 
>solicitation of prostitution. The charge is a second-degree misdemeanor 
>punishable by up to a year in the county jail and a $500 fine.
>   Allen was arrested outside the men's restroom at a Titusville park after 
>offering to perform a sex act on a plainclothes police officer, authorities 
>said. He was later released after posting $500 bail.
>   Titusville Officer Danny Kavanaugh, who was staking out a nearby condo 
>hoping to catch a burglar, said Allen approached him in the men's bathroom 
>at Veterans Memorial Park about 3:30 p.m. Wednesday.
>   In an arrest affidavit, Kavanaugh said he had washed his hands and, 
>finding the sink's paper-towel dispenser empty, had walked into a stall for 
>the disabled to dry his hands. Allen first peeked over the door and then 
>stepped inside, he said.
>   Allen proposed the two go across a nearby bridge because "it's quiet 
>over there" and he would perform a sex act on the officer for $20, the 
>affidavit said. They walked to Allen's car, where the officer identified 
>himself and arrested Allen.
>   Reaction among Allen's fellow Republicans was cautious.
>   Rep. Mitch Needelman, R-Melbourne, said the allegations held "severe 
>moral implications."
>   "For the foreseeable future, Rep. Allen needs to put his political 
>career on hold," Needelman said. "I have concerns for his family."
>   House Speaker Marco Rubio said in a statement that, "The charge against 
>Rep. Allen is serious." But because it's a misdemeanor, he added, a guilty 
>verdict would not require Allen to resign. Asked in Miami about the arrest, 
>Gov. Charlie Crist said, "It just seems sad and tragic."
>   Crist is also a somewhat closeted homosexual but, unlike Allen, he has 
>not made a career out of victimizing gay people. Allen "sponsored 
>legislation that toughened penalties for lewd or lascivious conduct and 
>created a new provision that allows some sexual predators to receive life 
>prison sentences for their offenses. Allen had dubbed the bill the 'Sexual 
>Predator Elimination Act.'" Now that would really put an end to the 
>Republican Party!
>   UPDATE: WILL JIM DeMINT BE NEXT?
>   Although at the moment the more racist of South Carolina's two far right 
>Republican senators, Jim DeMint, is fighting it out with GOP closet case 
>Mitch McConnell over who will run the Republican Senate caucus, he took 
>some time out to worry about his ally David Vitter, like DeMint a 
>xenophobic maniac.
>   Reacting to the revelation that Sen. David Vitter, R-La., patronized 
>brothels and call girls, DeMint told Chad Pergram of the Capitol News 
>Connection radio service, “I think all of us have to look at it and say, 
>‘We can be next. … This can be a very lonely and isolating place.’ I’m 
>fairly surprised at how little it does happen.”
>   Howie Klein was president of his freshman class, drove to Afghanistan 
>and Nepal, became the president of Reprise Records and started a blog 
>called Down With Tyranny!. He's always hated tyrants.
