2nd Scott DesJarlais girlfriend talks

published Sunday, October 28th, 2012
by Chris Carroll


On the heels of a sex scandal involving a female patient, another woman has acknowledged having a sexual relationship with physician and U.S. Rep. Scott DesJarlais while she was under his medical care.

The second woman described DesJarlais as "the nicest guy" and said he cooked dinner for her at their first get-together in 2000.

But she also said they smoked marijuana during their relationship and remembered DesJarlais prescribing her pain medication on dates at his home.

"His biggest thing that's completely unethical is him just picking up women while he's a doctor," the woman said in an interview last week. "I mean, seriously, that's his big no-no. ... He's just a hound."

The woman said the affair lasted six months and included mutual illicit drug use.

Republicans really need to abondon their hypocritical "values" thingy -- because everyone knows the Republicans reek of hypocrisy.

Republicans really ought to try good old-fashionged American values for a change: honesty, integrity, caring, sharing, and putting the Nation before the narrow little greed-and-fear party they have spawned.

I used to have a site, www.republicansexoffenders.com ... but lost my hosting account due to an unforeseeable, though thankfully brief, financial hardship earlier this year. I still own the domain name, ans hope to get it back up and running soon...

Peace,

Damn stupid right-wing media we have in this state.

If we had just one alternative - any at all - these asses wouldn't be as popular. Sadly, the only way to get an alternative is to pay for it via satellite radio and, given the demographics in this state, most of these people are too poor to afford it.
