    Default Politician in bed with lobbyists.... no, really.

    I thought about putting this in News of the Weird, but in case it gets political, I started a new thread.

    Basically, Duvall of California was at a committee meeting and started bragging to a coworker about his sexual conquests. What we assume he doesn't know is that his mic is live.

    Watch here.
    “So, I am getting into spanking her. Yeah, I like it. I like spanking her. She goes, ‘I know you like spanking me.’ I said, ‘Yeah! Because you’re such a bad girl!’”
    It turns out that the two women he's talking about are both lobbyists, and all three of them are married.

    At least he had the decency to resign afterwards. Read more here.

    Well he had to, after this it would have been really awkward for him to ever approve one of her motions again.

    Well, normally, I detest it when politicians resign or the populace urges the politician to resign after a sex scandal. IMHO, sexual lives of a politicians have little real effect on their overall performance. Now, of course, sex for favours is dirty business, but many brilliant politicians and generals in the past had been notorious womanisers. It would be a shame to see a great man taken down due to his inability to restrain his phallus. Not to mention, almost every single President of US has had an affair, including some of the most revered ones, such as Franklin Roosevelt and Abraham Lincoln for starters.

    Well, lobbyism to a certain degree is legalised corruption. There really is no way to eliminate lobbying. Or corruption. Or suspiciously large campaign contributions by businesses. One can only abolish one, but not both. And there is certain merit in special interests as well. Oh, and yes, of course I realise your sarcasm, lest someone here accuses me of not having noted that.

    That Dems are not the only womanisers? But I suppose Sanford sort of busted that myth...

    Duvall was obviously aspiring to become the California Assembly's Minority Whip.

    I don't think she's all that hot. She looks a bit scary. Then again, if you're 54 I guess it beats another tiresome lunch with your lobbyists.

    Are we sure that's a woman?

    She looks a bit better on the picture linked to by Hosa, though.

    She needs a flat head so you have a place to set your drink. You people are just too nitpicky to ever make it in the world of politics.

    <looks at Duvall's picture, then at hers>

    I wonder what SHE was thinking?

    <shudders>

    Actually, I think she'd make a better politician - the kind we need. She's obviously willing to make sacrifices (and ugly sacrifices) to get the job done.
