I am truly beginning to wonder what is in the water in South Carolina that causes all the self-proclaimed conservative, family values Republican types to engage in an endless stream of sex related peccadillos. From the "hiking on the Appalachian Trail" cheating on the wife Governor, the closeted gay Lieutenant Governor, to the porn writing State School Board chair, the list goes on and on, demonstrating that the sexually repressed members of the GOP are obsessed with all things sexual and act in ways no respectable liberal would. The latest sex scandal involves Roland Corning (pictured at above left), a former GOP state legislator and until yesterday current Deputy Assistant Attorney General, who was caught cavorting in a cemetery with a stripper, Viagra and sex toys in hand. Here are some highlights from the Atlanta Journal-Constitution:*
A deputy assistant attorney general who said he was on his lunch break when an officer found him with a stripper and sex toys in his sport utility vehicle has been fired, his boss said Wednesday. Roland Corning, 66, a former state legislator, was in a secluded part of a downtown cemetery when an officer spotted him Monday, according to a police report obtained by The Associated Press under the Freedom of Information Act.

As the officer approached, Corning sped off, then pulled over a few blocks away. He and the 18-year-old woman with him, an employee of the Platinum Plus Gentleman's Club, gave conflicting stories about what they were doing in the cemetery, Officer Michael Wines wrote in his report, though he did not elaborate. . . . He then searched the SUV, where he found a Viagra pill and several sex toys, items Corning said he always kept with him, "just in case," according to the report.
Corning and the woman were let go without charges. Wines' wife reported the call to her supervisor, who told Attorney General Henry McMaster. "We received credible information about inappropriate behavior Monday afternoon," McMaster said Wednesday. "And by the close of business, he was no longer working here."

There was no answer Wednesday at a number listed for Corning, who was a Republican legislator in the late 1980s and early 1990s. He was hired in 2000 by the attorney general's office, where he worked on securities cases. South Carolina has had its share of scandal lately, most notably Gov. Mark Sanford's disappearance in June. His office told reporters he was hiking the Appalachian Trail, but he was really in Argentina visiting his mistress.

Needless to say it is ironic that the Christianists depict gays as perverts when in fact their own "family values" crowd continues to demonstrate that when it comes to kinky sex, we gays are just plain boring.

I had forgotten about our porn-writing state school board chair! It may be interesting to note that, though this story did run in our small town South Carolina newspaper, it was not on the front page and was not as long or informative as the highlights you've included here.
It's not the water but the peaches.
On second thought, maybe it is the water as water makes the state fruit grow.
Buy your peaches from Georgia instead !
