Pervy Republicans?

From TPM

The former speaker of the Missouri House has been charged with a felony after what looks like a bout of sado-masochistic sex that went way too far.

Details are still unconfirmed, we should note. But a woman appears to have suggested to police that Rod Jetton, a Republican who now works as a political consultant, may have slipped something into her drink, then beat her up during sex, after she failed to use the safe word they had agreed upon as a signal to calm things down.

Here's what we know: The woman, who lives in Sikeston, Missouri, told police that Jetton and she spoke by phone on November 15th about their plans to have sex that night, according to the blog of a TV station. Several hours later, she says, he went to her home with two bottles of wine. According to the woman, Jetton poured the wine in the kitchen, out of her view. He then returned to the living room and handed her a glass. While they were watching a football game, the woman says, she started 'fading' in and out and lost consciousness several times.

The woman added that she and Jetton had agreed on the phrase "green balloons" as a "safe word" that she could use if things got too rough during sex. That's not uncommon among people who enjoy sex that involves dominance and submission.

But somehow things seem to have gotten way out of hand. The police report continues:

[The woman] recalls Jetton hitting her on the face very hard. She then remembers waking up, lying on the floor and Jetton was choking her. [The woman] said she did not know what happened with her memory because she had been drunk but had never had the blank spots in her memory.

According to the formal complaint filed against Jetton, he "recklessly caused serious physical injury" to the woman "by hitting her on the head, and choking her resulting in unconsciousness and the loss of the function of part of her body."

Jetton then stayed the night, says the woman. When he woke up, she says, he kissed her and said, "You should have said green balloons." He then left and hasn't returned.

According to the Riverfront Times, a St.Louis alternative weekly, police reportedly have photos that show bruises on the woman's thighs and breasts but not on her face.

Jetton, 42, was elected to the House of Representatives in 2000, and became speaker in 2005. He was term limited out in 2008. According to Wikipedia, he and his wife divorced in October after over 20 years of marriage.

Guy's got John Edwards hair! That makes me laugh.

He's also got piss poor judgment. I find that humorous, too.

Of course this wouldn't be news if it was a former democrat.

That's why we are laughing with schadenfreud (sp) and merry glee.

Exactly!


WHAT a surprise.... he's an unabashed, unashamed homophobe!

When wording making gay sex illegal was removed from Missouri state statutes, Jetton furiously declared: "Thanks to that deletion, it is now legal to engage in deviate sexual intercourse with someone of the same sex here in Missouri."

I guess it's just the same sex part that annoyed him, not the 'deviant sexual intercourse' part.

In this case, clearly.

Although it's astonishing how many outspoken anti-gay Republicans get caught playing footsie in the men's bathroom.

Just good clean Christian extreme nonconsensual roofie bdsm!

 

[JMohegan]

Hahahaha!

Democrats can bugger boys in Brazil and get put in position of power. Kill their pregnant mistress and not even bother telling the police and get away with it. They could probably throw live babies out of airliners and get reelected.

Oh lighten up, WD. The truth about this Show-Me dick is a lot funnier than your bitter rant.

Tee hee hee hee hee.

Definitely lends strength to the whole 'protests too much' thing, doesn't it?

Yes indeed.

Like that military guy in American Beauty. I forget his name.

Bitch please.

You often inspire this phrase, WD.

Shhh, get back to running the world economy.

I saw this on wonkette and thought about posting it myself but everyone would be all "omg you read wonkette"

Big suprise.

Democrats fuck up. Democrats exercise gross stupidity in sexual and other matters.

But Democrats, by and large, have not made passing judgement on what people do to each other in their bedrooms a central plank of their governing philosophy.

That is the reason that GOP transgressions elicit the reactions they do.

The Republicans fucking LOVE the idea that a person's moral character is defined by who they love, and how their genitals touch. Brilliant female colonel in the air force, but in love with a woman? Call security. Thanks for playing. Here's a copy of our home game.

When Democrats try to legislate abstinence-until-married-heterosexual-only-preferably-missionary-position-please genital contact as the test of morality and competence, I'll gladly cackle at them, too, when they slip and fall in their own hormones.

Exactly. This is the point that people who think that this is some kind of partisan thing miss. Spitzer pissed me the fuck off because he had the stones to go after sex workers while enjoying same. I was very pleased to see him go down, though I guess WD thinks he got the kid gloves treatment, though he's out of a job and didn't dick around about it a la Larry Craig, or Mark Foley who should be in fucking JAIL.

 

[suehprom]

Don't forget Larry "Widestance" Craig who was caught playing footsies with an undercover cop in a public airport mens room. This hypocrite pled guilty and then claimed that it was all a big misunderstanding and that he simply had a wide stance when going the bathroom.

A few years ago in England we had a conservitive MP accidentally die during self induced breath play. If I remember rightly he was discovered on the kitchen table wearing only stockings and suspenders with an orange in his mouth (why?) and a bag over his head.
I always wondered about the orange.......
