GOP State Sen. Resigns Amid Lurid Sex Scandal With 22-Year-Old Intern
ChattahBox.com ^ | July 29, 2009

“Good morning sir, how are you this fine day?” With that one text from his 22-year-old intern’s boyfriend, Republican state Sen. Paul Stanley’s professional and personal life began to unravel, as his sexual liaison with his intern became public. And the hypocrisy of the “family values” 47-year-old married lawmaker with two children came to light.

Stanley announced his resignation from his office on Tuesday, effective August 10, amid growing calls for the hypocritical lawmaker to step down.

Stanley issued a short statement saying, “Due to recent events, I have decided to focus my full attention on my family and resign my Senate seat effective August 10. Stanley resigned as chairman last week, from the Senate Commerce Committee, hoping that would ward off his critics and allow him to hold on to his seat, but the details of his sex scandal, became more lurid by the hour.

His intern’s boyfriend, Joel Watts allegedly tried to blackmail Stanley for $10,000 in exchange for not publicly releasing a sex videotape of Stanley and his intern and nude pictures Stanley took of the intern in his Nashville apartment. Stanley worked undercover with the police to nab the intern’s boyfriend and Watts was arrested for extortion.

A released sworn affidavit shows Stanley admitting to having sex with the intern and taking provocative pictures of her in his apartment.

Stanley ran on a “family values” campaign and is an Evangelical Christian who serves on the Administrative Board of the Christ United Methodist Church. Stanley sought to prohibit gay couples from adopting children saying, “When you’re married, “there’s a commitment there.” Stanley opposed family planning services saying, “that his faith and church are important to him, and he wants to promote abstinence.”

Instead of Tennessee Waltz, this should be called Tennessee Lapdance. At least he had the dignity to resign. A DemocRAT wouldn’t.

Liberal Democrats are quick to denounce Republicans for a lapse of their morals. Of course, no one does that to Liberal Democrats because most of them have no morals.

Did he use a cigar? If so, he’s definitely in the clear!

No need to identify this guy's political party.
You could automatically tell this guy was a Republican because the person he was screwing around with was someone of the opposite sex. Had it been a Democrat it probably would have been another homosexual, a cross-dresser or an underage little boy or........... David Letterman.

Liberal Democrats don't run as evangelical Christians on "family values" platforms.

#13. Correctomundo.

Plenty of hypocrites of either party to go around, but when you run on christian values and traditional marriage vows you better be sincere about it.

Just observing, mind you, but not only did they mention the party affiliation in the first sentence, they put it in the headline! Funny how that works. Funny too is you don’t learn the sex of the intern until the 5th paragraph.

“when you run on christian values and traditional marriage vows you better be sincere about it.”

Someone needs to repeat that to David Vitter.

The crazy double standard is that a Democrat would wear this as a badge of honor.

Seriously, why can't the politicians control their raging hormons? They damage their families, their party (unless you are a Democrat-socialist, communist, progress, ie. fool) and their country.

I seem to remember this kind of thing is 'ONLY ABOUT SEX'. I just wish the RAT party cared as much about their congress critters as the Republican party did and forced them to resign too. Barney Frank's butt would have been gone LONG AGO if they did.

When the RATS point fingers at the Republicans they need to realize they have a few fingers pointing back at them. At least we CARE and want them GONE, not liberals/RATS. They make them out to be heros and send them to the head of their party.
