It's psychic baggage handling- he handles it by standing near it, looking decorative

UPDATE: Joe.My.God is on the trail of Florida Attorney General, gubernatorial candidate and real leader of SC AG Henry McMaster's claimed anti-health care lawsuit. AG Bill McCollom blew $87,000 of taxpayer money on Rekers' testimony that same-sex couples are bad parents:


What Does Florida AG Bill McCollom Have To Say About Dr. George Rekers NOW?

I've been on the phone with the Florida Attorney General's office and the Bill McCollom For Governorcampaign trying to get a statement and/or reaction to the Dr. George Rekers prostitution scandal.

Campaign spokeswoman Kirsty Campbell said that she is aware of the story, but that the campaign would not be issuing a response, as Florida's gay adoption battle is still in litigation. She then referred me to the press office of the Attorney General, where I spoke to communications staffer Rachel Sloan. Sloan was unaware of the story, but was quite cooperative and opened a press request file for me, to be sent to her superiors and (presumably) McCollom via their Blackberrys today.

I explained to Sloan that we expect McCollom to answer for his payment of $87,000 to an anti-gay so-called "expert witness" on gay parenting, a man who has now been exposed as a closeted homosexual himself and a patron of male prostitutes at that. Here are the three questions posted to Attorney General Bill McCollom, for which we await a response.

1. How was Dr. George Rekers selected as an expert witness? (What due diligence was performed to ascertain his credentials? Who recommended him to the Attorney General's office?)

2. Where did the funding come from to pay Rekers and his associate their $87,000 fee? (And is there a mechanism for the state to demand back their fee now that Rekers has been exposed?)

3. Will Attorney General McCollom now publicly denounce Dr. Rekers as a fraud, a liar, and a hypocrite?



Miami New Times has released a photo of University of South Carolina professor emeritus George Rekers and  his rent boy:

For the backstory click here. It's surprising that neither Sunlit Uplands, which relies on Rekers for its most homophobic fantasies, nor FITS News, which criticizes all manner of USC programs and expenses, has said not a word about the Rekers Affair.

Oh, wait- never mind.
