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.
