[a fool in paradise]

The man who was in line for Houston's mayor's office (at least several cycles ago).

And while the statement has been made that he did not actually use city computers to hire male prostitutes (only cruise them), the audit of his email was based on keyword searches, not total review of communications.

When the city of Houston went after another city employee in the wake of 9-11, he was being investigated for soliciting a co-worker for sex for money. IN that investigation, that worker was found to have celebrated the 9-11 attacks in an unrelated email.

Greanias is being protected. Chuck Rosenthal was run out of office for an email with a joke about Al Sharpton and Jesse Jackson tossing a coin in a well wishing to end racism with the two race baiters disappearing in the final panel. That and a case of adultery that was uncovered. Chuck Rosenthal was a jerk who deserved to be run out of office for other matters but the city is NOT being consistent.

Anyone wonder why this country is in trouble? With the thugs that either being elected or hired; we haven’t got a chance except to go down.

God told Abraham that He would not destroy Sodom and Gomorrah if he could find at least ten godly people there.

I wonder how many upright people God could find in any of America’s large cities today?

Maybe the scandalette will dampen his political future a tad, but this was a mere slap on the wrist.

What do you take us for, you moron?! If he'd been "caught" posting to a Fred Phelps discussion board or writing articles for Stormfront, he'd have been fired the same day -- like that educrat over in Heart of Dixie last week.

There is absolutely not the slightest shadow of flaming doubt about that, FRiend. I am so sick of these queer politicians and their infinite indulgences from assorted gaybot pols. In this case it's Annise Parker's fault -- she has all those Metro board members and senior officers' jobs in her pocket, because of the way Metro's composed and structured. It was her call, and she went easy on a fellow Movement Gay.

I love how they fixed the Wham-Bam-Tram problem. Thing was constantly a hazard to traffic but in 2006 accidents went to nothing. Their magic fix was that the Houston Chronicle stopped reporting them.

I am surprised Greanias is embarrassed at all. These days, to be a sexual deviant is cool. And if he is now outed as gay; so much the better.

Parker, Greanias...this, sadly, is a preview of the future of Houston politicians. Gays, child molesters, pervs of all kinds. My theory is that most of the sane voters who used to keep that kind of trash at bay have moved out of the city limits, leaving them to entertain their constituencies with all forms of foolishness.

The rest of us (more-or-less normal folks) are left with no real choices to vote for.
