The Mississipi Republican Party is calling for state Rep. Doug McLeod (R) to step down if the allegation that he punched his wife in the face is true.

Police responded to a call from McLeod’s residence on Saturday night, where they found the lawmaker drunk and his wife’s nose bloodied.

According to the police report, McLeod punched his wife in a drunken rage because she wouldn’t get undressed quickly enough to have sex with him.

After McLeod allegedly hit his wife, she ran to another woman’s room to hide from her husband. McLeod allegedly banged on the door and threatened the other woman that he’d “kill her [expletive] dog” if she didn’t let him in.

1. Republicans are asking him to step down?

Isn't this the kind of thing republicans usually hand out medals for?

2. He represents the wife beaters of Miss'sippi, an under represented minority in that great state.

3. The Repugs will cover it up. When they finish, the story will be that

Doug was on his knees, begging his wife to stopping drinking from a whisky bottle, put it away and come to bed for rest to go to church the next morning. Next, she said something impolite about Jesus, whacked Doug with the whisky bottle, and called the cops on him.

6. "You know the rule, Doug," they no doubt told him.

"Y'all get caught, and it's game over."
