Was just going to say. WHat party is he in? How obvious is that!
He's not likely to ever have a son if he keeps playing with little boys.
"Austin Wiese, now 19, testified that Sutton, a longtime personal and family friend, touched his genitals through his shorts as the two slept in a king-size bed last February."
18 and 36 yr. olds in a bed together?
What the h*ll are people doing?
Guilty.
LOL...that was the FIRST thing I noticed! As a matter of fact...that is the ONLY reason I looked at the thread. Research, to see if my hypothesis holds up. And it does.
I was looking for party affiliation. Thanks for pointing that out!
Saucey IMs and your a Repub., you are outta here. Grabbing a kids "buddies" and your a Dem, no worries.
The son he never had sure lucked out.
I did notice. I was looking for his party affiliation and had to read the entire article. Had he been a Republican, that fact would have been included in the title.
"Grabbing a kids "buddies" and your a Dem, no worries."
He'll be a hero.
Roger that.
Wiese, now a 19-year-old college student, testified Wednesday that Sutton had moved next to him on a king-size bed they were sharing in a Fort Pierre motel room during last year’s legislative session. Wiese said Sutton fondled his back, hips, buttocks and finally his penis.
Sutton repeatedly denied any wrongdoing, despite dogged interrogation by Sioux Falls attorney Jim McMahon, hired by the Senate to handle the case.
McMahon first questioned why a senator would share a bed with a high school page when there was a hide-a-bed in the room.
“You thought it was appropriate to climb in bed with your page?” McMahon asked.
Sutton said he didn’t think it was
inappropriate. “At that time, he was like a nephew, like a son to me and my wife,” he said.
“So it was OK to do that?” McMahon asked.
“I’ve traveled with young adults several times and shared a room,” Sutton said.
“You felt that night when you got in bed with Austin that that was all right.”
“I had no concerns.”
Sutton is in the insurance business, and he also works as a substitute teacher and has frequently taken students on trips out of town.
McMahon also questioned Sutton about a cell-phone conversation, secretly taped by Austin Wiese, in which Sutton appeared to admit to fondling Wiese.
“I’m sorry,” Sutton tells Wiese on the tape. “Shoot, I’m sorry. If I did, I am …. God, I’m sorry.”

Um...I think I see the good senator's first mistake...
Heck, he may just understand that if he supported abortion, he'd have a much smaller victim pool.
If it had been a republican, the headline would have been "Republican embroiled in teen-sex scandal". Since it was not, most naturally assumed the story was about a Democrat.
I'd say it's a sad state of the media, but it's actually become so predictable that the average person sees the bias even before the first sentence is finished.
And that skepticism is a good thing.
yup..classic its a democrat if it isn't mentioned in the headline story...
