This is a story about state Rep. Joseph Hiss.

His claim to fame is that he was the first member of the Massachusetts Legislature to be thrown out of the House for sexual misconduct.

As a matter of fact, he was the first legislator thrown out of the Legislature for anything.

His name came up the other day following Senate President Stanley Rosenberg’s decision to temporarily step down from his position during an investigation over charges that his husband Bryon Hefner sexually molested and harassed four Statehouse lobbyists or associates.

In 1855? I’m surprised they weren’t put upon.

Good Article. Mr. Hiss was a Know-Nothing and was the party’s Grand Worshipful Instructor.

The Nunnery Commission’s purpose was to “ferret out skullduggery behind the walls of Catholic institutions.”

I’m sure that if the old queen Rosenberg and his boy toy had been active at that time, they would have been prosecuted for committing “the abominable and detestable crime against nature.”
