GOP State Sen. Resigns Amid Lurid Sex Scandal With 22-Year-Old Intern

(ChattahBox)—“Good morning sir, how are you this fine day?” With that one text from his 22-year-old intern’s boyfriend, Republican state Sen. Paul Stanley’s professional and personal life began to unravel, as his sexual liaison with his intern became public. And the hypocrisy of the “family values” 47-year-old married lawmaker with two children came to light.

Stanley announced his resignation from his office on Tuesday, effective August 10, amid growing calls for the hypocritical lawmaker to step down.

Stanley issued a short statement saying, “Due to recent events, I have decided to focus my full attention on my family and resign my Senate seat effective August 10. Stanley resigned as chairman last week, from the Senate Commerce Committee, hoping that would ward off his critics and allow him to hold on to his seat, but the details of his sex scandal, became more lurid by the hour. snip

A released sworn affidavit shows Stanley admitting to having sex with the intern and taking provocative pictures of her in his apartment.

Stanley ran on a “family values” campaign and is an Evangelical Christian who serves on the Administrative Board of the Christ United Methodist Church. Stanley sought to prohibit gay couples from adopting children saying, “When you’re married, “there’s a commitment there.” Stanley opposed family planning services saying, “that his faith and church are important to him, and he wants to promote abstinence.”

2. He dumped wife number 1 for an intern
I sure hope wife number 2 isn't surprised. The voters shouldn't be, either, but you know how closely they pay attention to that sort of stuff?

5. Of course, the neat thing about his religion is his God is going to forgive him any day now..
All will be well and everyone can just go on with their lives and never bring the matter up again... Pretty nifty eh?
