Oh, my. I've never heard the phrase "drug crazed cocksucker" uttered in a Michigan State House

[catbyte]

Committee room...They're playing a recorded conversation between Courser (or "Intercourser" as he's called in Lansing, lol) and a staffer who he was trying to coerce into sending an e-mail accusing Courser of being drug-crazed & having sex with a gay prostitute in a really lame attempt to cover up his affair with "Crazy Eyes" Gamrat. This is unbelievable.

Hearings are going on now on whether to expel baggers Cindy Gamrat & Todd Courser for lying about their affair. Courser is testifying now...

What an embarrassment to the entire state of Michigan.

1. Compared to some of the evil done to the public, this is just entertainment

Both should be expelled, in the interests of equal treatment and protection...of the public.

5. That's for sure. It couldn't happen to 2 nicer people.

They came in running roughshod over Lansing, with all the arrogance and self-righteousness that those baggers could muster. They made enemies of the Speaker & the majority of the Republican caucus. They're reaping what they sowed last January. They are hammering him mercilessly now. They were trying to turn Michigan into Talibubba Michissippi; happily, even if they do survive with a censure, their influence in zilch.

2. In a twisted way, I suppose it is progress

Once upon a time, politicians used women to cover up being gay.

Now they are using gay men to cover up being hetro.

3. Still waiting to see it on Wheel of Fortune

4. I wonder if Courser is some sort of exhibitionist, getting off on all this

He might as well grab a megaphone and go "Look at my SEXUAL HABITS!"

6. That type of rhetoric

has been in vogue since Limbaugh started on the air. They usually kept it under wraps until the T-baggery started running statehouses all over this great country of ours.

This is the kind of shit we get when we sit on our hands during off-year elections and surrender power to folks who couldn't pour piss out of a boot if the directions were on the bottom.

7. ...

8. Are they on break or something? Just got blue screen with title of meeting

9. They broke at approx. 1:25 because the full House was going into session. They haven't come back.

Wow, that was something this morning. Gamrat lied through her teeth at her presser last week; Courser is still trying to shift blame onto everyone else. I think he's toast--the committee members questions were pretty hostile. Gamrat's teary apologies may save her, but after today it's clear she was deeper into the cover-up than she let on. She could be toast, too. Our roads are crumbling, and we have to deal with these two nutbags. But, thank God "their faith is stronger than ever."

10. They just reconvened. It's 4:33 pm EDT
