1. it's good enough for them; call them all child molestors and point

out that B.Clinton had legal sex with a consenting adult.

[roguevalley]

20. SNICKER! True. This is now bookmarked. Thanks, honey.

[Dr Fate]

2. So this the famous GOP "family values" & "personal responsibility"? n/t

n/t

[Hekate]

3. All that repression, all that sanctimony, all that hypocrisy...

Obviously sex isn't fun unless it's with someone too young and powerless to say "no" and make it stick.

Screw the SOBs.

~~~Psst. Who's this God that talks to George W. Bush? Pass it on.~~~

[Spirochete]

7. So has Laura Bush...

[Hubert Flottz]

8. Ain't that the Truth!

That would be about like sharing yourself with a SLUG!

[Norbert]

5. And Rep. Dan Burton of Indiana

He father a child out of wedlock with his mistress.

[Hubert Flottz]

6. Bush is ALWAYS Pumping the Pooch!

Doesn't that count?

[NewJeffCT]

9. Don't forget...

Republican Congressman Joe Scarborough and the intern...

[prolesunited]

10. That's a very good list!

I especially appreciate the links. Did you compile that yourself?

[Solomon]

11. How could you leave out Strom Thurmond who would have been

a statutory rapist under today's laws?

12. Done and done...

13. I bookmarked this in case I need it

:hi:

[CO Liberal]

18. So Did I

:-)

[Sapphocrat]

23. Glad to know it!

Always makes me happy to know I'm bookmark-worthy! :)

[Sapphocrat]

22. Oh, good - I hope it comes in handy! ...

I've been pecking away off and on, on the remaining installments. This first batch was, of course, primarily elected officials; the ones I'm wroking on are divided into high-profile, zealot-fundy preachers (dishing the dirt on Fred Phelps is sheer, evil joy); right-wing media whores; and other self-appointed moralists (e.g., celebs from Britney Spears to Reggie White) -- as well as a "clean-up" category for everyone I forgot to mention (or who has since "qualified") in the first batch.

Of course, I'm always happy to take suggestions for all categories. :)

[maggrwaggr]

14. seems like you could make a similar list for drug abuse

Nice work

[AlabamaYankee]

15. I have a pre-emptive question

We've all seen a parade of "Republican Family Values" such as this - and thanks for the exhaustive list. My concern is that the Republicans will throw back a similar list. So my question is, other than the Clinton episode, have there been any Democratic elected officials who have gotten themselves into similar trouble? Offhand I can't think of any, but I don't particularly pay attention.

[uhhuh]

25. Doesn't matter

Dems have not been going around touting their moral superiority for years and years. Dems know that there are people of all levels of society and political affiliations that do bad things and don't pretend that a D after a name necessarily means that they are morally pure.

[Hippo_Tron]

16. And on a lesser charge...

Former Republican former Speaker of the House Newt Gingrich got married three times. Not a crime but so much for "respecting the institution of marriage."

[arendt]

17. You forgot John Fund, anti-abortionist who got girlfriend abortion...

and he had earlier been screwing that woman's MOTHER.

Talk about SICK.

26. sordid story here:

[SharonAnn]

19. Wow! Thanks! These are great

I have been saving articles like these but you've got some i missed.

Thanks!

What a bunch of perverts, and in this case it's literal, not figurative.

[WhoCountsTheVotes]

21. Don't forget Craig Spence and Lawrence King, Republican kiddie-pimps

King's the guys that took his call-boys on midnight "tours" of the White House with Bush Sr. Look it up and prepare to be disgusted. All from mainstream sources like the Washington Post and Washing Times.

[Wapsie B]

24. There's also former Rep. Phil Crane

who had sex with an underage woman.
