Take your pick:
A1. Bragging that you’re cheating on your wife with two other women, then saying it was all “just talk,” dragging one of your so-called conquests through the mud along with you; or:
A2. Listening to one of your cohorts, who’s on the Committee on Utilities and Commerce, brag about cheating on his wife with two other women, one of of whom is a utilities lobbyist, and and not reporting the conversation, especially when both of you are on the Assembly Ethics Committee.

LOS ANGELES — September 9, 2009 — After California Assemblyman Michael Duvall (R-Orange County) was caught making obscene boasts about sex with married lobbyists on a live microphone in committee meeting, the 700,000-member Courage Campaign called on Attorney General Jerry Brown to investigate.

Or, at least, on a hot mic, describing the lurid details (details so lurid, even we won’t repeat them here) of his affairs with two female married lobbyists.
“One works for a firm which represents utility companies,” notes KCAL — which is no small detail: Duvall was the vice chair of the Committee on Utilities and Commerce, which oversees regulation of public utilities in California. You don’t have to be psychic to see an ethics probe in Duvall’s future!
While we put together Duvall’s inevitable entry for the Conservative Babylon Hall of Shame, get a load of the report from KCAL-9 in L.A., below.
Of course, Duvall is a rabid homophobe, who, among other things, received a perfect rating from the Capitol Resource Institute — the pro-Proposition 8 PAC created by Karen England’s Capital Resource Institute (read more here), the haters behind the astounding scumbaggery of distributing “Yes On 8″ propaganda to be passed out to trick-or-treaters on Halloween, 2008 (see “Proposition 8 Supporters Take Child Exploitation to New Low: Anti-Gay Fliers to Be Passed Out to Trick-or-Treaters Tonight“).

Rep. Paul Broun (R-GA) has said a few outrageous things in his political career, but this one may take the cake. …“He […] spoke of a ’socialistic elite’ — Obama, House Speaker Nancy Pelosi and Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid — who might use a pandemic disease or natural disaster as an excuse to declare martial law,” reports The Athens Banner-Herald.
He added, “They’re trying to develop an environment where they can take over. We’ve seen that historically.” …
In November, the Georgia lawmaker told a Rotary Club that President Obama was a “Marxist” and said his suggestion of a “civilian security force” made him eerily like Nazi leader Adolf Hitler. …
If stupid people are going to say stupid things, can’t they at least learn the difference between socialism and Marxism?
Not to mention the fact that Barack Obama is even less a socialist — or a Marxist — than Lucille Ball was a Communist. But to hope for that much to get through the cement skulls of goofballs like Paul Broun would be asking far too much from the Attention-Deficit Sound-Bite Generation.

As shown on Congressional travel disclosure forms obtained through Legistorm.com, a nonprofit dedication to government transparency, in February 2000 a bipartisan pair of US congressional representatives, Frank Wolf (R-VA-10) and former Democratic Ohio Congressional representative Tony P. Hall, traveled with their wives to Hawaii on what the two described as official US government business but the trip was financed by two interconnected fundamentalist ministries, Youth With a Mission and “The Family”, which both advocate Christian theocratic rule.Suggesting they confused the agenda of those ministries with US government interests, representatives Frank R. Wolf and Tony P. Hall, who is now a US ambassador working to foster a Middle East peace initiative, each signed their names to statements on their travel forms…
The stated destination of Tony Hall’s and Frank Wolf’s February 18-25, 2000 conjugal junkets was Kona, Hawaii, home of the international campus and headquarters of Youth With a Mission. YWAM is a global Christian ministry that owns the C Street House and whose founder Loren Cunningham proposes an ambitious plan for Christian domination in which believers achieve control of key societal sectors including government, business, media, and education: the 7 Mountains Mandate.

A year ago, I would have expected a flood of hate mail for posting this, and agreeing with every last word. Today, the Obamanauts tend to leave me alone. I don’t think it’s because they’re tired of me; I think it’s because it’s virtually impossible to disagree with such a searing indictment and maintain even a shred of credibility (although a few are trying, and failing, miserably):

This was Francis Schaeffer:
“Francis Schaeffer is widely credited with being the most influential person in leading evangelical Christians to oppose abortion. Many, however, are unaware of how instrumental he was in moving evangelical Christians toward political action and in motivating some Christian Reconstructionists toward civil disobedience (sometimes violent).”
And this is Francis Schaeffer’s son:

Hutchison site is loaded with hidden phrases—including two “Perry gay” references, which the campaign says it’s removing This morning, I came across a Web site for U.S. Sen. Kay Bailey Hutchison’s gubernatorial campaign.
A provocative twist: The site may have been juiced with the intent of drawing visitors with the help of more than 2,200 hidden phrases—including “rick perry gay.” (See the phrases here.)
On my inquiry, Hutchison’s campaign spokesman, Jeff Sadosky, initially said he’d look into the matter. He later issued a statement that didn’t indicate how the phrases landed on the site, but said they weren’t condoned and would be removed.
Sadosky said: “We did not know these offensive word associations were being searched for by hundreds of thousands of Texans everyday nor do we condone the computer-generated existence on our Web site. They will be removed promptly.” …
My white lesbian butt, they didn’t know. It’s the oldest Google-spamming trick in the book, loading your site with invisible words and phrases that having nothing to do with your content. (It’ll also get you penalized by Google… usually.)

Nothing like rubbing sandpaper over a bleeding, raw nerve — and when the author drags Bristol Palin into it, and sinks to the level of making a coldhearted reference to Elizabeth Edwards’ breast cancer, you know you’ve won. Or at least, I know I have.
