Well that’s a bummer. Sex harassment? Could he be running for Senate?

GOP: “We’ll see your Conyers and Franken, and raise you one Trent Franks. We’re more concerned about women than you are.”

Probably not exactly what they are thinking—probably the guy is a known problem child. In the current climate, you can’t hide it.

“Could he be running for Senate?”

That was my thought.

McCain handing over the mantle of stupid.

The governor got a call from the McCain people letting them know time is very short.

Yeah, I should have read the article before posting. Only know him from being on TV, but his politics seemed to be conservative, even if his hands weren’t.

As they say, power corrupts. This is a good reason why the Founders were so opposed to a permanent ruling class.

Are you speculating, or asserting that this happened?

Next thing you know, somebody will figure out that when you have thousands of young males and females thrown together away from home and in a tense situation, they act like young people away from home and in a tense situation, and do what young males and females have been doing since the Garden of Eden. (The first time I was warned about this had something to do with the Airman and the WAC behind the dumpsters at Lackland. Never saw of this, just heard about it.)

When it is the most corrupt people in a population who seek these positions because it is their only means to unimaginable wealth (they have no capability whatsoever to make it honestly)...then that is what you get.
