I am glad that the mainstream media has picked up on this story nationally(CNN's Situation Room, covered it yesterday). It can only help to continue to depict the GOP and many of its "family values" legislators as hypocrites, since the sex scandals just keep on coming. Better yet, maybe the "sheeple" to use Pam Spaulding's term, will begin to wake up and realize they have been played and manipulated by by the GOP and its members who parrot the family values rhetoric. Here are highlights:
Washington State lawmaker Richard Curtis resigned his office tonight after a man he allegedly paid for sex spoke to the media about the encounter. Curtis is the third conservative lawmaker in just as many months to resign amid allegations of soliciting gay sex. CNN noted similarities between the seemingly 'pressured' resignations in this and other Republican scandals involving homosexuality.
While I have not yet been able to confirm it - since Curtis has wiped his former legislative web page clean - there are some search results that suggest that Curtis was previously awarded as GOP legislator of the year. If anyone can confirm this, I'd appreciate it.
