I Thought They Were Against It
For years, I thought the Republican Party opposed sex. I know for a damn fact that they did while Bill Clinton was president.
However, I am coming to realize that it’s only consensual sex that they oppose. I offer you the next contestant in Republicans-Show-Us-Your-Kinky. A Rhode Island state senator has entered the contest.
The indictment was unsealed as Senate Minority Whip Nicholas Kettle was arraigned on two counts of extortion in Providence Superior Court. Kettle, of Coventry, is accused of extorting a male page for sex multiple times. He pleaded not guilty and was released on $50,000 personal recognizance.
Oh but it does not stop there. He was also charged with video voyeurism.
A state police affidavit on the video voyeurism charge released Monday afternoon said Kettle sent naked pictures of his then-girlfriend without her knowledge to a friend in New Hampshire. Zachary Brennan, of Springfield, New Hampshire, then sent back naked pictures of his wife, according to the affidavit.
I mean, considering all the other entries, Nicholas does stand a decent chance in the Small State Big Plans category.
Thanks to Phyllis for the heads up.
That’s only half a problem to Republicans. There is the live boy, but where’s the dead woman? Both elements must be present for them, or it’s just another “nothing to see here” event in their daily lives.
1When this bit of news broke, I just shook my head, at the creepiness. Men what is wrong with you ??? I usually say ” your Mother must be so proud of you”. His friend Zachary in NH, is not any better . His Mother must be proud of him too! Full disclosure RI my state not my guy though phew…
2Dear Miss Juanita,
The article referred to the page as ‘she.’ Are you sure the page was male? Inquiring minds want to know.
3He ( page) is correct .
4I guess he found trouble at the bottom of the page…
5From the article, “Kettle, of Coventry, is accused of extorting a male page for sex multiple times.”
6They’re only against it if they’re not in on it.
7So he forced a boy into sex repeatedly, sent naked photos of his girlfriend without her knowledge, and accepted naked photos of a guy’s wife, no doubt also without *her* knowledge.
I think that, along with whatever other legal punishments he’s earned, he should have his sexual equipment locked away for a good long number of years under the principle of “If you can’t play with it right, you can’t play with it at all.” If locking away doesn’t do it, removal should be considered, especially in the case of the forced sex with the page.
8Minority Whip, eh?
I’ll bet this creep was really disappointed when he found out that the job was nothing like he thought it would be.
Sheesh – this scum bucket runneth over.
9‘Nother one. Running in Arizona CD-8 for the seat vacated by Trent Franks, of “Is $5 million enough to be the surrogate mother of my child, but I want to fertilize your ovum the way Mother Nature originally designed the process” fame… (or infamy, if you prefer.)

May I just call you Trailer? 🙂
Thanks for reminding me about ole Trent Franks. In just a couple of short months I had utterly repressed every memory this utter waste of oxygen and his “oh won’t you please be my sweet, precious baby’s surrogate mutha?” line. Some snacilbupeR need to be separated from normal society by a wall. A bigun. With concertina wire and interlocking fields of fire.
11WOW!! This ahole should run for president!! The rePUKEians would love him!
12Actually, the Republicans are opposed to “other people” (i.e. women, same sex couples, unmarried adults) having sex. Publicly they are the Panty Police and privately they act out their own screwed up, kinked up sexual proclivities. They project their repressed feelings onto others in an effort to ignore their own.
I’ve seen lots of analyses about the reasons Republicans think and vote they do. Sure would like to see one on why they are so screwed up sexually.
13See the current issue of “New York” (the magazine) for the latest bombshell about a creepy Republican. (Hint: He’s on the Supreme Court.)
14Oh Ranger Jay. “Bottom of the page?” (Chortle)
And Lunargent, “Minority whip?” (Snort)
These guys just about make it too easy. My laughter may be slightly guilty, but I laugh anyway. Not at those creeps, at the wit in the Salon!
