Republican closet cases reclaim their lead

Let's see how Savonarola will handle the Sacramento story!


Happy News for "Christianist" hate blogger Sunlit Uplands, who blogged yesterday about the Democrats that they are-


The party of sodomy, socialism, abortion and war-


-and today whinged about-



This one's a particularly egregious example of party-ID dodging, even for those of us who are used to seeing the establishment media avoid mentioning the political party of almost any disgraced or troubled Democratic public official.
Former Racine, Wisconsin mayor Gary Becker, a Democrat, was sentenced Wednesday to three years in prison for child enticement and attempted sexual assault of a child.
Here are the results of a Google News search on "Gary Becker Racine mayor" (without quotes) shortly after midnight.





Ashburn



California State Senator Roy Ashburn, who has "a history of opposing gay rights," was arrested in Sacramento early Wednesday morning for driving under the influence after a CHP officer spotted his SUV weaving in and out of traffic. According to the local CBS affiliate, Ashburn, a divorced father with four daughters, was with an unidentified male passenger. It's also being reported that he had just left Faces, a gay club in the Sacramento.
Ashburn issued this boilerplate apology:
"I am deeply sorry for my actions and offer no excuse for my poor judgment. I accept complete responsibility for my conduct and am prepared to accept the consequences for what I did. I am also truly sorry for the impact this incident will have on those who support and trust me – my family, my constituents, my friends, and my colleagues in the Senate."
We'll have to wait and see if he'll talk about this on his local radio talk show this weekend.
