Minister in skirt charged with indecent exposure, DUI, solicitation: man, when these guys let loose!

[Bluebear]

JOHNSON CITY, Tenn. (AP) - The minister of a Baptist church has been charged with indecent exposure and driving under the influence, and police officers say he propositioned them.

Tommy Tester, 58, of Bristol, Va., was wearing a skirt when he was arrested last week after allegedly urinating in front of children at a car wash, police said.

Police also said Tester offered to perform oral sex on officers who were sent to the scene.

Authorities identified Tester as the minister of Gospel Baptist Church in Bristol and an employee of Christian radio station WZAP-AM in Bristol...

....An open bottle of vodka and empty oxycodone prescription bottle was found in his car when Tester was arrested Friday.

1. A 2-week stint in rehab

with a few obligatory tears should heal him.

[Bluebear]

3. Can he bring his skirt? nt

[Kingshakabobo]

28. I think he is beyond rehab. This guy needs an exorcism.....

Being an atheist, I am against exorcisms as a general rule..........but this guy? ......couldn't hurt!

2. Meanwhile an Imam...oh nevermind n/t

[Bluebear]

5. These things just write themselves! nt

[Nay]

8. Don't they, though? And Bristol, VA is pretty much a caricature of

that whole crazy/fundie/backwoods wacko mindset.

[EST]

12. I think it's Bristol, Tenn.

I used to fly down there occasionally, in a Tri-Pacer, to tri-cities. Bristol, Johnson City, and I don't remember the third town-it's been almost forty years ago.

Bristol, Tennessee is where the big race track is.

[Nay]

14. We're both right--Bristol is right on the line between VA and TN, and

there is a Bristol VA and a Bristol TN which form essentially one town in two different states. And it doesn't surprise me that this preacher is from that area!

[CTyankee]

24. There's a Bristol, CT also. I haven't heard of any ministers in skirts there, tho.

9. so let's see the GOP "sex crime" score card:

1. bob allan pulls a george michael in a public restroom

2. tester pulls a george michael on a pair of cops, wears skirt, pees in front of children

3. haggerd caught with muscle daddy and crystal meth

4. foley caught with barely legal pages

5. cunningham implicated in hi class prostitution ring at the watergate

6. vitter may have a spank me mommy diaper fetish

7. david hague buggers his wife in her sleep, claims he missed trying to find her vagina.

Yep, you're right; it pretty much writes itself.

And not 1 cigar in the bunch.

22. What you're doing is adding up some GOPer family values...

They have plenty of "MORALITY" because they never use any!

26. Don't forget Coy Privette in Concord, North Carolina

Visited a prostitute at least six times, paid with checks, and stopped the checks! She reported to the SBI and they investigated.

Coy Privette was a county commissioner, extreme right-winger, president of all kinds of fundy right-wing extremist groups...

33. My favorite post there so far

"I don't think he was 'flashing' the kids -- he was just so drunk he didn't care who saw him lift the skirt and pee."

yeah, that makes it all ok, huh? The excuses these weasels come up with when a fellow Republican gets caught...

35. Hey i never thought of that before

You get pulled over right, the cops start running your plates so you offer to suck them off to distract them, then they let you go.

No thanks i would rather pay the fine.

[mwb970]

15. Now, I just assume that outspoken religious people are perverts.

When I hear a fire-and-brimstone fundie fulminating about the evil gays, I know where he's headed after the sermon!

[JohnShadows]

32. Good assumption,

.... the guilty dog barks loudest (and sleaziest, too, apparently).

16. I suspect fowl play.

I suspect fowl play. Tommy has been a personal friend of our family for as long as I can remember. I've never heard a more powerful man speak about God as he. He will not even go to places where people are wearing short because he finds it offensive. I fully believe he was either drugged or set up. Tommy, if you read this, we love you and our hearts are pooring prayers for you.

[Quantess]

18. 'fowl play'?

Tommy Tester, leave that poor chicken alone!:rofl:

[Bluebear]

23. He is into poultry perversion too?

Shaking head.

[yardwork]

29. Bestiality, too? Sad.

[yardwork]

30. Drugs, too! She says that she thinks he was on drugs!

It says so right there in her post.

[tom_paine]

17. Wow! Are they ALL Secret Perverts?

I think, at the very least (as with Republic Party Child Molestors, so reat are their numbers, also) that we should consider this a normal symptom of Right-Wing Authoritarianism (RWAs) (and the Social Dominators (SDs) who lead them by the ignorant weak-minded nose) and probably has something to do with the core philosophy of "getting away with what can be gotten away with" as well as the seeming SD and RWA penchant for bullying the weak and powerless.

Actually, most of it is the SDs, research shows the RWAs following migh be perfectly nice people, except that their "followers mentality" has been coopted by the SDO in order to achieve their goals, which ususally have little to do with the "goals" they told the RWAs they were trying to achieve.

Bottom line, yes indeed, I am beginning to think that a substantial number of self-rigtheous fundamentalists (who are terribly prone to being SDs and RWAs) arer in fact hiding terrible corruption, be it sexual or monetray or etc.

I am also beginning to think that it's core philosophy of beat the shit out of the weak and powerless while toadying to the strong, also lies at the heart of why not just Republics, BUT THOSE WHO ARE HEAVILY AFFILIATED with the party, are molesting children at such an alarming rate.

[Richard Steele]

25. Yes, I think that's it EXACTLY. nm

[yardwork]

31. That means that investigating the lives of the most extreme would be worthwhile.

It seems that the louder they claim to be religious and upright, the more secrets they have.

[annabanana]

37. Repression is dangerous stuff. . . . . n/t

[SpiralHawk]

19. He didn't even have the decency to wear a diaper, like a real republicon

real republicons wear diapers to get their sexual jollies...

[JVS]

20. way to party like a rock star!

:headbang:

[Stephanie]

27. A skirt with what? Button down shirt? Bustier?

I hate when they leave out the details.

[Prisoner_Number_Six]

34. Maybe he was simply REALLY tired of the missionary position.

:shrug:

[jazzjunkysue]

36. "There was no immediate response Tuesday to calls to the church and Tester's home."

As if they'd like to give a follow up response:

"No, Mr. Reporter. He never once offered me oral sex. Not once. Ever. "

[verse18]

38. I am soooo embarrassed

to be from this side of the State.

[Bluebear]

39. We don't blame you :)
