I faked gay affair to flush out a blackmailer who was blackmailing me for having straight affair?

the "Lansing mafiaā€ ā€¦

Now thatā€™s funny. Hey, Biggby Coffee has HQ there. Maybe he can tie this to the Colombian cartels?

Because in the part of Michigan where he is from they call a sliding glass door a ā€œdoorwall.ā€

Uhhā€¦whereā€™s the email that he purports to have gotten trying to blackmail him? Did he accidentally delete it? And why didnā€™t he go to the police? This guy is full of shit up to his eyeballs. Now explain why you and this other female legislator were carrying on an adulterous affair for years while both of you were pretending to be leading exemplary Christian lifestyles. Christian values, huh?

Remember, both of these characters came up with the odious RFRA bill in Michigan among a lot of other awful legislation based on touting their high moral Christian values.

I hope they censure his ass and force him to resign on ethics violation along with that dimwitted Gamrat heā€™s been shagging at the No-Tell Motel.

ā€œI couldā€™ve resigned," Courser said. "But that wouldā€™ve allowed my personal issues to rule the day and deny the truth ā€” all of it ā€” to the people who elected me.ā€

Oh thatā€™s goodā€¦ you, sir, have a future in the GOP.

Laughable. The digital records contradict him. Only people who will believe him are the morans who voted him in.

The report said Courser had asked an aide to send an anonymous email to Republican activists claiming Courser was spotted having sex with a male prostitute behind a Lansing night club. The aide declined to send the email and was later fired, according to the Detroit News.

Assuming any of this crazy story is trueā€¦If the aide was fired for not sending the e-mail, that sounds illegal. If not illegal, at the very least it would be interesting to hear that aideā€™s story.

Really, these people should get out of politics, and get into thriller writing. I do read some spy novels, and this is way more arcane, convoluted, and just plain nutty than anything fictional. Watch out, James Paterson!!

He also said whoever was blackmailing him had access his computers, phone, text messages, and whereabouts ā€” information he said was only privy to ā€œa small number of people."

Me, myself, and I is a small number of people.

I think more likely he should get a new computer for things he wants to do without people watching and never click on the ā€˜free pornā€™ links with that one.

Itā€™s all the fault of the blackmailer! - I very much doubt heā€™s being blackmailed.

ā€œI couldā€™ve resigned," Courser said. "But that wouldā€™ve allowed my personal issues to rule the day and deny the truth ā€” all of it ā€” to the people who elected me.ā€

Ironic since this guy is into legislating morality and the personal lives of his constituents. Dudeā€™s a serial liar. He should resign to spend more time with his family.

If his wife is smart, sheā€™ll throw his butt out of the house and change the locks.

Not hopeful though.

Republicans: The party of Dumb and Dumber.

Has anyone brought up to this putz that as a public official his first duty when blackmailed is to contact police?

Makes perfect sense in the fetid sewer of the repig ā€œmindā€.

Yes. Totally agree. Please stay in office.

  • As long as you possibly can.

Also do as many TV interviews as
possible.
Donā€™t forget to make sure they have the ā€œR-Holy Landā€ after your nameā€¦

WTF did I just read?

My head hurts trying to find the logic in the rationalizations involved in this.

This guy tried the Jack Tripper method, pretending he was gay to avoid a different revelation. Hijinks predictably ensued.

Thing is, Jack Tripper wasnā€™t married to Janet or Chrissy so didnā€™t have nearly as much 'splaining to do.
