NASHVILLE, Tenn. – The Tennessee state senator said he was opposed to sex outside marriage, but his private life told a different story: He was having an affair with his 22-year-old intern.
When an extortion plot exposed married Republican Sen. Paul Stanley's illicit relationship, he said he would be "clearing up" misimpressions later. He's now clearing out his office, the latest politician caught in a sex scandal, this one made worse by not coming clean.

Sometimes you can tell just by looking at the PICTURES of the intern that she is innocent of the charge and was led into evil by the politician.

Word is that he is a sleazeball and this isn’t the first affair he has had.

If I ever hit the lottery, my standing promise to America is that I would offer a $100K reward for every person that comes forward with a verifiable claim of adultery by elected Democrat officials. It seems that the only way anyone is ever going to start investigating Dems rather than just focusing on Republicans.
If people stopped having affairs in DC, the bottom would drop out of the restaurant and hotel biz.

He’s got one of those fagoo/Wall St white collar, colored shirts on. I hate those. A lot.

I saw the other pic and was going to say not guilty but she is guilty. Looks like everybody got screwed on this deal.

They are harder to nail down, because they kill ‘em like Teddy did or ruin them somehow...

Bet this was a setup for black mail from the beginning. No way does this girl have a boyfriend and then an affair with a 50 year old guy.
For 10g? If they were in it together they should of went for more than that.

Resignation not good enough. He deserves a kick in the nuts from each of his constituents.
