I told you last week about my own damn personal State Representative, Rick Miller, who wrote and introduced a bill wanting the State of Texas to do away with local ordinances protecting gay rights.  It was kinda weird because his son is a highly respected Houston lawyer and gay rights activist.  He is also a proud gay man.

When stuff like this happens, it is almost always followed by something like this.

Family Research Council BFF and US House Rep. Tim Huelskamp is best known around here for his attempts to block marriage equality and LGBT rights. But the “family rights” advocate now has a major in-house problem. Via Topeka’s CBS affiliate:

A staffer for a Kansas congressman is in jail charged with 17 counts of sexual exploitation of a child. Matthew P. Pennell was arrested on Thursday. Pennell was arrested following an investigation by the Dodge City Police Department and members of the Internet Crimes Against Children task force.

There are two lessons here.  (1) Quit being mean, and (2) Don’t be cocky.  There’s probably three lessons to be learned but you’ll have to ask Rick Perry what the third one is.

I take comfort in knowing that any day now something perverted will come out of Rick Miller’s office or close friends.  Overly self-righteous people are always hiding something.  It usually their low IQ’s but many times it’s their winkies.

Thanks to Brian for the heads up.
