Another day, another deviant sex scandal

Yes, I know that sex scandals aren’t exclusive to the GOP. Bill Clinton and his cigar fetish proved that. But it does seem like the Republicans are overdoing it a bit of late bit:

Rod Jetton, the former Missouri House Speaker, fired a state lawmaker from his committee chairmanship in 2007 because the lawmaker had changed a bill in order to end a state ban on gay sex — or what Jetton called “deviate sexual intercourse.”

Jetton was charged with felony assault Monday after a girlfriend alleged that he had beaten and choked her during a recent sexual encounter, in which she failed to use a mutually agreed upon “safe word.” The woman also suggested that Jetton may have slipped a date-rape drug into her glass of wine, causing her to lose consciousness. In the wake of the charges, Jetton announced that the political consulting firm he has run since leaving office last year would close its doors.

You know, it’s one thing to have an affair. What two consenting adults do in the privacy of their homes or hotel rooms is their own business, as long as they aren’t using taxpayer cash.

It’s another to be an abusive freak.

Most of the scandals of late involving Democrats of late involve selling appointments to the U.S. Senate.

    What people do in the privacy of their own bedrooms is none of our business only when they’re gay??
