Dead girl or a live boy, gets those Family Values types every time.

I assume the next shoe to drop will be the revelation that he is also an evangelical pastor.

And why, by the way, is engaging in prostitution within a 1000 feet of a church an aggravating offense?

As unsavory as this guy may be – he is a Republican after all – I wonder if he isn’t getting railroaded a bit here on account of being a godless homosexual in Oklahoma. Since when are 17-year-old gay hustlers in close enough contact with their parents for a father to be able to tip off the police about their whereabouts? Smells like a setup to me.

One of the state questions that passed in November changed some drug possessions from felony to misdemeanor. He has been working to change them back to felonies on the grounds that Oklahoma voters didn’t understand what they were doing. Perhaps he should have been working to change those solicitation laws to misdemeanor. Hindsight, Ralph, is a cruel mistress.

Oklahoma republican? His seat will be waiting for him when he gets out.

Has he started fundraising off of this yet?

Were it a 17 year old female prostitute, I’d say maybe so.
Didn’t hurt David Vitter any.
But a 17 year old male prostitute? Not so sure.
Larry Craig’s career was destroyed and the objects of his lust weren’t underage.
Mark Foley, Dennis Hastert, all Republicans whose transgressions were ‘homo’ and not ‘hetero’. All ruined.

Only after he tells everyone that “After much prayer with my minister and my wife, Jesus has forgiven me!” and he will be reelected in a landslide.
After all, it is Oklahoma.

Money for nothin’ and twinks for free

I imagine there’s also a ban on 1000 feet of a school. Given that it’s OK, I’d be willing to bet there’s a church every 999 feet; I think they put these things in so they can shotgun the charges and force the defendant to plead guilty to lesser charges. Sort of a negotiation point with a huge stick as the consequence.

Now this is really rich!

Waiting for a suitably armed trump supporter to go and investigate this further. After all, this is evil shit, and since they cared about the pizza parlor, they should care about this…

What is it with white Trump-supporting, conservative male legislators… and pedophilia? They’re worse than Catholic priests!

Now think about it… when you count up all the heinous sexual assaults committed by conservative white males on little children – daily --, it’s pretty clear that this is the group we need to stop at our borders. We need to let in people with strong moral values, not white male conservative predators.

That’s unconstitutional, and also uncapitalistic in limiting free enterprise.

The “Family Values” party never disappoints.

“Smells like a setup to me.”

Could be. On the other hand, “Sow the wind, reap the whirlwind” seems to apply here.

Agreed. He is hard to sympathize with in any meaningful sense.
