    It's practically a requirement now... to join the GOP, you have to have family values and you have to publicly forsake those values in an extramarital affair. Extra points and slight seniority for gross factor.

    @Experiment626: Yeah. The affairs on their own are, by the standards of the GOP, pretty boring. But when you add in the inadvertent confession into the live mike, the... oh god forgive me, the dripping, and the eyepatch panties... I think Duvall qualifies as a legitimate contender for the Conservative Douche-Hypocrite Cup.

    @wtfox?!: The dripping is the part that both grossed me out and pissed me off, because unprotected cheating seems a billion times worse than if he'd taken the remotest precaution against infecting his wife with STIs.

    1) His comments created some truly grody mental images. The reviled term "making love" is the same one my mom used when I was little and walked in on her and my dad. (I had run from the room crying.)

    2) HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!! HAHA YOU FUCKING HYPOCRITE!!!!! HAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!

    3) I feel bad for his family.

    I have noticed a trend in all the responses I've read from other Republican politicians: they all state that what he said was inappropriate. No, ladies and gentlemen, what he DID was inappropriate. Talking about it was just stupid.

    Can you all imagine the scene around the office at KCAL before they ran this? I know how it is around my place when one of us comes across something juicy, and we don't even have a media venue to broadcast it.

    Yeah, I think I just fainted again.

    Man, kind of makes you wish they used this sort of get-up-and-go investigative journalism on something with, you know, actual importance. But I'm all for hypocrites getting schooled for scandals.

    @wilmawonker: At the very least he is not going to subject the good people of California to a long goodbye.

    That said, I just read that he was a supporter of Prop 8 and uses "marriage" to describe marriage between two people of the same gender. "Marriage," indeed, sir!

    @WashingMyHair: Sure. But do they brag about it on a hot mic? That's the critical piece here.

    I love that this guy did this to a co-Assemblyperson whilst not turning his mic off. Deserves every iota of scorn he gets.

    I work/exist in the DC arena also - but most of the people I know who fuck around no more or no less than the average person happen to not do it while being recorded. Or, so they hope! ;)

    @WashingMyHair: Seriously! It's not that he was boning two women who weren't his wife, or even that he was then sharing the explicit details with his buddy! The thing he has to apologize for is inflicting it on the rest of us, which he didn't mean to do. Sorry y'all, I only meant for my bros to know about the eyepatch panties and the spanking.

    Oh Kate, this is gorgeous. Later on I need to follow the links to see if they disclose it all. What is shown in the news report is magnificent in its ugly -- spanking! lobbyists!

    And allow me to send a sincere hug to any Jezzies that live in this guy's district.
