I was prepared to go through a long hot summer with no Republican sex scandals until Cocktober, but things are looking up:
Larry Craig and David Vitter make room, here comes another. They just keep coming and coming. Troy King, Republican Attorney General of Alabama, notorious anti-gay speaker, ankle-bracelet wearer, and anti sextoy wrangler is rumored to be resigning from his post after being caught in a compromising position with another man… caught by his wife who has kicked him to the curb.
Wait… it gets better… the man with whom he allegedly froliced was the homecoming king from Troy University - yeah, Troy King busted in bed with Troy’s King.
Anti sex toy? Maybe not so much …
Pam has more:
Now it’s time for our latest installment of the Troy King Chronicles. You’ll recall in our last episode, the Republican Attorney General of Alabama, Troy King, was lampooned in the press for his anti-sex-toy crusade, courtesy of former Libertarian gubernatorial candidate Loretta Nall. Nall had mailed to him an inflatable f*ckable pig and the paper printed an editorial cartoon of King in leather S&M gear holding the inflatable pig. (My cartoons in Portland aren’t nearly as fun.)
I have a good feeling about this … stay tuned for details.
Another Jesusistani "family values" guy caught practicing the love that dare not speak its name.
What a surprise this is. Jeez, next we'll hear about one diddling a minority....

Anyone whose focus is on other people fucking has deep problems from the git-go.

He's not a hypocrite, just an incredible narcissist. "Oh, Troy King, you are so hot. No one does it as well as you, Troy King."

Whenever a staunch Republican pulls a J. Edgar Hoover, we would be wise to think, Hamlet: "The lady doth protest too much, methinks."
As Marcus A. says, deep problems.

Wonder what King's posision is, no pun intended, on wetsuits.

Was his closet name, yes---- "Helen of Troy?"

Not gay. Has never been gay.

Does this qualify as a "menage a Troy"?

Hey, someone had to say it...

As Attorney General of Alabama, I have to wonder if he had any involvement in the bullshit prosecution of Don Siegelman. I might have to do a little research later...
