Robert Somma (pictured above) a Bush-appointed federal judge was in full drag when he was arrested for DUI after rear ending a pickup truck in New Hampshire on February 6th:

“He had a difficult time locating his license in his purse. He passed over it multiple times before removing it,” officer Paul J. Thompson wrote in his report.

Local news reports mention that Judge Somma resigned after pleading guilty to drunken driving. Other than the gay press, no one mentioned the black evening gown and fishnet stockings. Read on…



Howie was all over another story that isn’t so lighthearted. Robert McKee(pictured above), a Maryland Republican Delegate, anti-child porn crusader and former bigwig in Mitt Romney’s MD campaign was arrested after police found kiddie porn at his Hagerstown home:

Law enforcement authorities, both the FBI and county sheriff’s office, who are conducting a child pornography investigation, seized two computers, videotapes and printed materials when they searched the Republican’s home in Hagerstown 2 weeks ago.

You think? McKee was sponsored Maryland’s Child Protection From Predators Act and a proposal to collect DNA samples from sexual predators. He also sponsored several other sexual offender and child abduction bills in the past. None of the reports coming out of Maryland so far have indicated whether it was little girls or little boys– or both– who the Republican was interested in. He’s been very active in the Little League and, predictably, was a chaplain for the First Christian Church, a position Republican child predators often use to seduce young children. Read on…

7. But the black evening gown is a nice touch, ya gotta admit.

2. Cross-dressing has nothing to do with pedophilia.

The majority of men who dress up like women are heterosexual. There's nothing illegal about cross-dressing.

Combining that story in the same post with a story about a pedophile perpetuates a lot of ignorant myths. Please alter your OP.

4. They are two seperate people mentioned in the same article. n/t

6. It's copied verbatim from Crooks & Liars.

They chose to combine them, and they're clearly two separate stories. If you'd like, you can follow the link I provided and express your concerns in the comments on the Crooks & Liars Web Site. I didn't get the impression that they were equating cross dressing with pedophiles at all, and if I thought they were doing that, I wouldn't have posted it.

10. I took the connection to be more about hypocracy than either -nt

3. Oh, the pain! The pain!

8. No wonder the guy wants to cross dress. He looks like shit. Anything he can do to keep people from

looking at his face has to be a plus.

5. “He had a difficult time locating his license in his purse. He passed over it multiple times before

before removing it,”


Bad news for fiction writers when the news gets this entertaining. You really can't possibly make up shit like this. Fiction can't possibly compete with Republican sex follies.

9. Is there really a psychological ( or whatever) connection between

male Republican fundamentalists and pedophilia. Doesn't this ever connect with Democratic fundamentalists? Surely there are Democratic fundamentalists - somewhere. What is the difference here?
