This is the worst one yet. It involves a US Justice Department official from Florida, John David Atchison, and an online child molestation sting. An undercover police officer posed as mother offering her 5 year-old child for sex, and Atchison made it clear in conversation that he had done this before.

Vile. Just unforgivable and vile.

Oh, please, Larry. Please stay and fight. Please stay in office, so that we can all mock you mercilessly for the rest of your life. Please be our human punchline. Please!!!

Tomboy - "It's Okay to Be Gay"

This is dedicated to Republican Senator Larry Craig, Republican Senator Mark Foley, Republican state legislator Bob Allen, Republican Reverend Ted Haggard, and all those other lunatic closet queens out there tonight.

I hope that someday soon you all find the courage to be who you are, instead of acting like a bunch of disgusting hypocritical, homophobic, self-hating, bible-thumping, criminal, low-life bastards, who give honest proud gay people a bad name. It is time to get your dirty skank asses off the down low and face up to your shit.

You're here. You're queer. Get used to it!

Republican Sex Crime Recap

On tonight's Hardball, David Shuster reported in depth on the Senator Larry Craig case, adding statements from the arresting officer and past allegations of Craig involving gay sex with congressional pages (you know, the same kids Senator Mark Foley was chasing...). Shuster also added a recap of some of this year's conservative republican sex crime highlights. And I swear you can hear Shuster nearly crack up as he reads the report.

My only complaint: he forgot Florida state legislator Bob Allen, who was arrested for doing the exact same thing in a public restroom just last month.
