From your lips to god’s ears.
Well, he is a big roller: a Tennessee state rep. Who could possibly resist him?
Not sure that the article was emphasizing age alone. Given the other facts in the story, I think most readers would be wondering about the women who received the texts, and their ages fill in some of the blanks.
What would Jesus have done differently?
No, you motherf@cking little twerp: they cut you loose and THEN you decided to blame the media.
Welcome to oblivion, Junior.
“I appreciate the support shown for me by my colleagues during the
recent Caucus meeting that resulted in me retaining my position as
Majority Whip,” Durham said in his statement.
“However, it is clear that the relentless media-driven agenda against
me will continue no matter the position I hold. This targeted media
campaign continues to distract our Caucus and the Legislature from
focusing on the serious work that must be done over the next few
months.”
…
Yep, blame the media. Ignore the fact that knowledge of his behavior was kept out of public knowledge for months if not years. His wife should drop him like a hot rock.

I just finished reading an article on CNN that described how abrasive and assholish behavior often results in the person getting ahead in their career. I guess there’s a fine line between asshole (as in Ted Cruz) and asshole on steroids (Durham).
The Onion is already in jeopardy
Well, yeah, you can’t have a family, you know, if you don’t keep procreating. And one wife can only pop out a single kid a year. If Jesus hadn’t been crucified, I bet he would have met allllllll Mary Magdalene’s friends!
I’m surprised Trump has not mentioned this "They come here, they buy up our satirical publications…
This is what got my attention:
“but lawmakers had also planned on discussing other issues surrounding Durham. He had written a reference letter for a youth pastor who had pleaded guilty to statutory rape and possessing child pornography in 2014.”
Serious work? Shit. The Tennessee legislature hasn’t done any ‘serious work’ since the republicans took it over.
As a heterosexual man I know what it’s like to have the little head drive inappropriate thoughts of women, but the big head has always known most of them need to be kept to myself. Do these guys just have no thoughts of control coming from the big head at all or what?
Why do these weaselly looking public servants think that they are so irresistible that people will line up to bed them? In the past couple of years there have been several from both sides who fell into this kind of thing. I wonder if drug taking could cause this hyper sexuality that makes them act out like this.
But screw this guy and others who have done this kind of thing. It’s always the spouses and kids I think about. How can they embarrass and humiliate their families like this?
They all seem to spend so much time ‘looking forward to regaining the people’s trust’, it’s like they’re deliberately trying to lose it, just so they can regain it. Or, maybe they’re just predacious fucks, devoid of character and self control.
It’s less about sex (OK, it is about getting sex) but really it’s about power and hierarchy within the tribe.
Age discrimination! Why doesn’t he harass older women too?
Does this mean we’ll be getting punked in Spanish?
Fade to picture of pol at the microphone with devoted spouse standing behind him looking about as forlorn as possible.
Several from both sides? Check the score card and see it’s about 50 to 2, R’s. The party of family values has consistently over performed in the pursuit of illicit sex.
Not pushed, just allowed.
