Culture of Creeps


Another Republican busted, only this time it's for foolin' around with someone he thought was a 14 year old! No wonder Republicans don't believe in evolution. Instead of evolving, they devolve from corruption and cronyism to nauseating creepiness.

Don't they background check anybody in the Bush Administration? Oh, yeah, I remember, they check to make sure their cronies carry bibles.

Deputy Press Secretary for U.S. Department of Homeland Security Busted in Child Sex Sting --- AP:

MIAMI - The deputy press secretary for the U.S. Department of Homeland Security was arrested Tuesday for using the Internet to seduce what he thought was a teenage girl, authorities said.

Brian J. Doyle, 55, was arrested at his residence in Maryland on charges of use of a computer to seduce a child and transmission of harmful material to a minor. The charges were issued out of Polk County, Fla. Doyle, of Silver Spring, Md., had a sexually explicit conversation with what he believed was a 14-year-old girl whose profile he saw on the Internet on March 14, the Polk County Sheriff's Office said in a statement.

The girl was really an undercover Polk County Sheriff's Computer Crimes detective, the sheriff's office said. Doyle sent pornographic movie clips and had sexually explicit conversations via the Internet, the statement said.

On several occasions, Doyle instructed the girl to perform a sexual act while thinking of him and described explicit activities he wanted to have with her, investigators said. Doyle later had a telephone conversation with an undercover deputy posing as the teenager and encouraged her to purchase a Web camera to send graphic images of herself to him, the sheriff's office said.

He was booked into Maryland's Montgomery County jail where he was waiting to be extradited to Florida, the sheriff's office said.
Hat tip to Digby

The Talking Dog has a nice round-up:

"We already had domestic policy advisor Claude Allen resign after shop-lifting charges, the Vice-President's chief of staff Scooter Libby, of course, resigned for Plamegate after indictment by the special prosecutor (who may not be done yet), and there are the whole panoply of charges swimming around the Abramoff scandal, some inextricably intertwined with the "retiring" Tom "Jesus" DeLay.

But as far as I recall, the one thing you could say about the crop of Bushies and their Republican allies, in contrast to Clinton, was that it was never about sex.

Well, guess what? This one is about sex."
