Two for One Night: - "Family Values" GOP Senate Majority Leader Resigns Due to Affair

I swear to God the hypocrisy of today's Republican Party is exceeded only by the hypocrisy of the Roman Catholic Church Hierarchy. Among those leading the charge to ban same sex marriage in Minnesota and to "protect the sanctity of marriage" has been GOP state Senate majority leader Amy Koch (pictured at left). The only problem is that Koch apparently thinks very little of the sanctity of marriage - especially her own. It seems that Ms. Koch has been having an affair with a Senate staffer who is not her husband. In Ms. Koch's f*cked up world, it's a travesty if gays are allowed to marry, but banging someone not your spouse is apparently OK. Or at least until one gets caught. As noted in the last post, I can actually feel some sympathy for Mayor Davis. For Ms. Koch, not one shred of sympathy. And sadly, I suspect that she's more representative of the GOP's hypocrisy than Davis. What's even worse, Koch isn't even very good looking. To quote my former mother-in-law, the only explanation is that she must "know tricks." Here are highlights from Twin Cities Fox News:

Minnesota Senate Majority Leader Amy Koch resigned Thursday and said she wouldn’t seek re-election in 2012, while on Friday her fellow Republicans dealt with shocking allegations that led to her decision.

At a Capitol news conference Friday, Sen. Geoff Michel (R-Edina) said Senate staff recently brought up allegations of an “inappropriate relationship between Majority Leader Koch and a Senate staffer.”

"We sit here with a lot of humility, sadness, and shock,” Michel said. Michel said multiple staffers reported allegations to Senate leaders. He said he doesn’t know how long the relationship was going on and legally cannot discuss the name of the Senate staffer involved with Sen. Koch. . . . He said the Senate is "potentially" at a legal risk as a result of these allegations, which is why leaders are speaking and proceeding so carefully.

Of course, the only thing that would make the situation even more fun is if Koch was having a relationship with an underage staffer - preferably a female. Hypocrisy, thy name is Republican.
