22 June 2004
was not
A Good Day
for
Rightwing Hypocrites
No, 22 June 2004 was not a good day for rightwing hypocrites. Three -- count them -- three rightwing hypocrites bit the dirt on this one day.
- John Rowland, Republican governor of Connecticut, former Republican
congressman,
resigned. He was facing impeachment charges over his use of
state contractors and others doing business with the state. It seems
that Rowland had these folks do work on his home and his vacation cabin in
return for granting them state contracts.
- Jack Ryan, Republican candidate for Senate from Illinois. Ryan and
his wife were recently divorced. The court unsealed the divorce
documents thereby revealing his wife's testimony. It seems that good
old Jack -- family values, moral, individual responsibility Republican --
had a bad habit: He took his wife to live sex clubs -- complete with
cages, whips, chains, and the like -- and insisted that she have sex with
him while the audience watched. She refused and
filed
for divorce.
- Houston, Texas, area rightwing talk show host Jon Matthews pleaded
guilty to a charge of indecency with a child (not a minor, with a CHILD) in
a plea agreement with prosecutors. He was indicted 11 November 2003 on
a charge that he exposed
himself to an 11-year-old girl at his home on 9 October 2003. Before his resignation, Matthews had been on the air on Houston radio stations since at least the mid-1980's, working at KSRR-FM and KPRC-AM before moving to KSEV-AM in March 2001. I have never heard his show but I'll bet it was typical rightwing nut shriek show fare -- telling us how moral and upright the Republicans are -- upholding "family values" -- all the while whipping out his dick in front of children. Here's the citation:

So, there you have it folks -- three rightwingers exposed in one day. Exposed for serious violations of ethics and morals. A Republican governor accepting bribes. A Republican candidate for Senate trying to force his wife into kinky sex. A Republican talk show host exposing himself to children.
Tell me again about how Republicans are the party of honesty, decency, morals, family values, integrity, and personal responsibility.
