Guilty!

The bug man has been brought down.  A Texas jury today found Former House Speaker Tom Delay guilty of one count of money laundering and one count of conspiracy.  He could face 2 to 20 for the conspiracy and 5 to 99 or life for the money laundering. 

The exterminator turned politician first ran for office because he was pissed off at having to abide by EPA regulations in the pest control business.  In the Texas Lege, he was known as Hot Tub Tommy for his partyin' ways with women and booze.  When he decided to seek national office he, naturally, found Jesus and cleaned up his act.  Apparently graft and corruption aren't sins in his church.  

This is a man who apparently believes his own bullshit.  He said that when he posed for his mug shot, he wanted people to see Jesus through his eyes.  When I look at those beady little raisins, Jesus is the last thing I see.       

Widely known as a gigantic, bleeding asshole, Tom Delay is now finding that karma is a bitch.

Anti-Gay Senator Arrested After Leaving Gay Bar

I know this was all over the web yesterday, which might as well be last century in net years, I've been so busy that I haven't had a chance to post on it.  I couldn't pass it up!  The senator in question is California state senator Roy Ashburn and he was arrested for a DUI after leaving Faces, a Sacramento gay club.  Roy was with a certain unnamed handsome young man.  Naturally, Republican Roy is his strong anti-gay voting record.  He has voted against every pro-gay bill that has come up during his tenure, including Harvey Milk Day, anti-discrimination laws and recognition of out-of-state marriages.  Plus, this turd hosted a "traditional family values" hatefest in 2005 to drum up support for a constitutional amendment prohibiting gays from marrying.  This reinforces my belief that when a politician or preacher becomes an anti-gay crusader, there's always a deeply personal reason.  The closet cases are our worst enemy. 



Ashburn also has a strong anti-immigrant voting record.  Why is that relevant?  It turns out it was Latin Night at Faces, including the ever-popular Miss Gay Latina pageant.  The unnamed handsome young man in Roy's car was also Hispanic. 

I guess Roy likes to fuck Latin men literally and figuratively.
