I am shocked, shocked I tell you.  A Republican State Senator in Vermont has been arrested for  forcing women to have sex with him instead of paying for rent.

That news stuns me.  There’s Republicans in Vermont?

McAllister allegedly pressured two women to have sex with him, against their will, in place of paying rent, the paper reported. McAllister, who is also a dairy and goat farmer, is said to have suggested to one of the women that she could lower her rent payments if she had sex with Mexican farm workers, officials told the paper.

In addition to the alleged sexual assault of the two women, court documents obtained by the Free Press accuse McAllister of sexually assaulting a third victim, beginning in 2013.

The newspaper says that they don’t know if he’ll resign.  I suspect he’s waiting for a standing ovation.

Okay, I am not a political professional.  However, I do think that if you’re running for school board your yardsign probably should not look like you’re selling adult toys and lingerie.

The election is Saturday so I’ll let you know how she did.

 Thanks to Rodney for jumping out of my car and taking a picture.

Get a load of this ….

AUSTIN — In a surprise move that supporters hailed as a historic victory, the Texas House Criminal Jurisprudence Committee approved legislation Wednesday to make it legal to buy and sell marijuana in the state. Two Republicans joined with the panel’s three Democrats in support, giving House Bill 2165 a decisive 5-2 victory.

It will now proceed to the full House where it will be stomped on, preached over, dragged down to the river and baptized, and lassoed and hogtied before the Republican House members go home and get stoned in the privacy of their own Austin hotel room.

It’s not as if Baltimore cops need more bad publicity, so I won’t give them any.

Oh hell, I’m lying.

That takes cajones.

An Anne Arundel County Maryland cop in Baltimore to celebrate Cinco de Mayo on Tuesday bit another man’s testicles during a brawl over a woman, authorities said Wednesday.

Michael Flaig, 30, was charged with assault after the fight Tuesday night in the alley behind Looney’s Pub in Baltimore’s South Linwood neighborhood.

According to the charging documents, Flaig had been fondling a woman when her friend and roommate, the alleged assault victim, intervened.

Police later found the cop at another bar.  They arrested him.

Flaig’s police powers were suspended and he has been placed on paid administrative duty …

Soooooo, he gets a paid vacation for that?

You knew it was a’coming.  You knew it wouldn’t be long.  And, sure ‘nuf, it’s here and a Texas congressvarmint brought it.

On “The Sam Malone Show” this week, Rep. Ted Poe, R-Tex., said that Congress will launch an investigation into Hillary Clinton and the Clinton Foundation based on the findings of the book “Clinton Cash,” in which right-wing activist Peter Schweizer suggests that the former secretary of state used her role in the State Department to benefit foundation donors.

The book has faced a bevy of criticism for its sloppy reporting and false allegations, but Poe told Malone that “Congress will investigate yet one more scandal. We need to hire a whole department just to investigate the Clintons and the Clinton scandals. There is going to be some investigation about it.”

Poor Ted Poe, if he wasn’t “investigatin'” some damn thing, he’s have to take up crocheting or another damn thing.

Ted thinks the Tea Party is too liberal and Salem didn’t investigate enough witches.

Yep.  A full time Clinton investigation.  Because eight more Clinton years of peace and prosperity is just more than America can stand.

Thanks to Michael for the heads up.
