With Republicans, It’s Hardly Even News
Well, another stalwart of Republican family values and high moral standards just got caught doing … you really don’t wanna know.
But I’m gonna tell you anyway because you need to roll your eyes to get your day started.
Suffolk County District Judge Robert Cicale, a Republican from the Long Island town of Islip, was removed from the bench and faces up to 15 years in prison for underwear burglary.
A married father of three, Cicale admitted to stealing underwear owned by his 23-year-old neighbor that worked for him when he was the town attorney. He said he was acting on “urges” that led him to do so.
Urges? Is that the same thing that made you vote for Donald Trump?
As any good Republican would, he plead not guilty. You know, after admitting doing it because of urges.
Honey, I’m getting eye roll fatigue.
Thanks to Sarah for the heads up.
What a an idiot…Geez…he could just buy ladies’ underwear online for his urgings.
1@papa—In the article it said he broke into her house and stole her “soiled” underwear. I don’t think they sell those at Amazon.

Sounds to me like an opportunity for Amazon to step up and service (so to speak) the under-served pervert market. I blurted out a business plan which caused my little bride to leave the room muttering under her breath. This is quite doable. So to speak.
3EWWWWW. A Republican Pervert (but I repeat myself)
4@Micr…. Mama, skip this one, please. Micr, giving garments you’ve worn to someone you know and love is one thing. Letting them go into the hands of strangers is too creepy for words. Okay? Some women may be okay with it. Many may not. Just saying. And having the pervert next door break into your house and steal them ought to be grounds for a horsewhppin’.
5@Micr—I just had a flashback to “Young Frankenstein” where Madeline Kahn tells the Monster (Peter Boyle): “Honey, did you see I put another hamper in the bathroom? This one’s for your shirts, the other’s just for socks and poo-poo undies.”
Loved that movie.
6Laughing. I used to live in the small unincorporated village of Islip, pop. 100,000. At that time, we went to get approval for some inspection or other. The lady behind the desk wrote the word MONEY on a piece of paper and pushed it toward us. Subtle, huh.
7I bet all us old ladies would hang our undies on their porch rails so they’re easy to find if that would help. Not that they’d want to see mine.
Folks, it had to be undies from someone he knew and who possibly even trusted him. Thats where the damn thrill comes in. Sleazy third rate wannabe pervert!
8Micr wins the internet: “underserved pervert market”
9Can’t. Stop. Laughing uncontrollably.
@maryelle and Micr, if you think the pervert market is underserved, I suspect there are vast areas of the web that you have left untouched. I wouldn’t come close to touching them myself, but I hear they’re out there, like the skinhead and KKK communities.
10Just another Greed Over People gnome, obviously:
1) Steal underpants.
2)?
3) Profit!
Some days my eyes roll so far I can see the back of my own head…
11Shoot, Jayne Mansfield used to sell her used bathwater by the quart. That was decades before the Web was a gleam in Tim Berners-Lee’s eye.
Still and all, it makes me sad to see a judge in the pokey. It’s almost enuf to make me cry. Sniff
12I’m in NYC, so this made our local news (which is NOT owned by Sinclair or Tribune). Hmmm, maybe I can make some money from used unmentionables?
13Weellll, aaaactuallyyyy –
I have it on very good authority – okay, the plot of a CSI episode – that there is a thriving market for ladies’ undies which have been worn and not laundered.
But these are enterprising young women who voluntarily provide this product to a very select clientele. There is no crime or subterfuge involved, though the local board of health may take a dim view of such goings-on.
I think most of the items are ordered online and shipped. I just pity the poor mailman!
