GOP Congressman landed earmark for producer of film featuring drugs and gay sex; Senior staffer had ...
Source: PageOneQ

Congressman Virgil Goode (R-VA) arranged a $150,000 Congressional earmark for a non-profit theater with close personal ties to his press secretary and the producer of a movie featuring gay sex scenes and heavy drug use, PageOneQ has learned.

On assignment for BlogActive.com, PageOneQ and Accountability Moments, Mike Stark uncovered Goode's hypocrisy by reviewing his voting record as scored by the Human Rights Campaign, the nation's largest gay and lesbian civil rights organization. Goode is consistent. Since the 107th Congress, back to 2001, he has scored a zero every year on HRC's Legislative Scorecard.

1. Virginia, eh?
Nice. Add it to the list of things helping Obama in that state.

As far as the hypocrite factor is concerned.. I am sooooo surprised.. (not).

2. Yippee!! That POS is MY congressman!!
I can't WAIT to call his office tomorrow to express my faux outrage at his funding of this movie.

Calling/writing/emailing to express my actual outrage at his homophobic record and general douchebaggery over the years has been met with oh-yeah-so-what indifference, so it should be fun playing the part of an incensed "values" voter! ;)

5. Hmmmm.....
Edited on Wed Oct-15-08 05:52 AM by DeSwiss
...I wonder if Virgil was scripted to do one of those "celebrity walk-on" appearances in this theatrical production? Maybe he's just a budding actor underneath.

This couldn't have happened to a more deserving piece of slime....


- K & F*ckinnnnnggg R!!!!!!!!!!!!!

17. I sent some money
It was only $25 but that gets them $25 closer to mailing it to every pastor in Goode's district.

20. Uh, what's wrong with gay sex?
I also have no issue with responsible drug use (and if it was pot, that's really a beneficial herb, not a drug).

22. So is this a 'porn' or a 'film featuring gay protagonists who use drugs"
The local Christian "Hell Houses" have characters who have gay sex and use drugs and young children are quite welcome.
