Rumors Swirl On Possible Alabama AG Troy King Gay Sex Scandal, Possible Resignation
Edited on Fri Jul-11-08 12:08 PM by hadrons
Not sure if this was posted.

The rumor mill in Montgomery is swirling of news of a potential resignation by Republican Attorney General Troy King, amid rumors that he was caught by his wife having sex with a male aide and subsequently banished from his home by his wife. King, a potential GOP frontrunner for Governor in 2010, succeeded Bill Pryor, one of George W. Bush’s most controversial judicial nominees. In addition, King was also an early endorser of John McCain.

The Locust Fork Journal:

A spokesperson for Alabama Governor Bob Riley denied that Attorney General Troy King is preparing to resign in the wake of a massive rumor campaign that has yet to be fully confirmed. The word is, according to multiple sources in Montgomery and elsewhere, that King was recently caught by his wife in a gay affair with a male aide and banished from his home.

According to Tara Hutchison in the executive office of the governor they have heard of no plans in the works for King’s resignation. She said she had not heard that he had been kicked out of his home because of a gay affair.

20. It is so true-- we need a line up of the anti-GLBT GOP crowd for us in the GLBT
to look at.

I bet you dollars to donuts, we'll be able to pick out the closeted cases with 95% accuracy.

5. I'm always pleased to see a republican leave office, but what is it with the
idea that politicians can't be gay? There are gay politicians all over the world, and no other country gives a hoot. (probably a problem in saudi arabia, I imagine...)
Don't get mer wrong, bye bye republican is always a good thing, but really....
why not get rid of them for the crimes they commit, instead of who they decide to love....

10. I agree wholeheartedly.
On the other hand, this guy has worked very hard to criminalize the private sexual expression of others, along with just being a dickhead and serial killer hiding behind the color of law(Like our Dear Leader).

It all points to something far more broken in the man.

If I was gay, I would be all for the exposure and resignation of this guy, especially if he had worked against and disparaged the gay community. I might add that I get that attitude from my friend and pastor, who is a gay man. Openly, happily, healthily and in a long committed relationship. I have asked him about this attitude and he has long said it was appropriate and needed.

11. I have to agree with Tandalayo
It's not about teh Gay but the hypocrisy.

This closeted man hasn't just denied his true nature, he's actively fought those who share it in order to cover it up. That's the moral crime here.

The gay part isn't central. That he is a lying asshole certainly is.

Be who you are. Love who you want. Just don't go around sanctimoniously pontificating and persecuting people who have the guts to be themselves. That is soooo republicon, so hypocritical, and so small.

16. Sweet hairy Jeezus... how many closeted GOP guys are there?
I mean, it seems like every week there's some hypocrite from the GOP waving his finger and clucking his tongue about some moral depravity, when they themselves are toking the pole.

Talk about self loathing!

Take my advice, GOP closet cases - come out, come out, wherever you are... life is so much better in the light!

Just look at those eyes...he's either headed for a restroom in the Minnesota Airport...or a diaper. Or both.

25. *Yawn* Another GOP Gay Sex Scandal
I swear, do they have a boilerplate or something like a script to work off of?

"Today in (fill in name of state), (fill in closeted, self-loathing politician) (fill in title), resigned his office today after reports that he was found to have (fill in nature of offense).

In a press conference in which he stood side by side with his lovely wife, (name of beard), (Closet case's name) denied that he was resigning due to the allegations, and says he intends to spend more time with his family."

31. From Loretta Knoll's site:

...snip

Even though I am an Atheist I began praying to Jesus, in the event that I am wrong and he is actually there, to please grant me this one request and let the Troy King rumor be true. Please. Amen.

I have some friends in pretty high places in Alabama politics so I called one of them up with the juicy details. They told me they heard a rumor about his sexual orientation some six months ago from a former reporter with a large, credible newspaper in Alabama. I also know that reporter and knew them to be very credible. The rumor at the time was that Troy's mystery man was his old college roommate who he gave a position to when he took over the AG office in 2004. Supposedly when Troy was out of town so was lover boy.

The story then became that the mystery man was a young man who had just graduated from Troy University and was the Homecoming King(no pun intended) (God that gets confusing...Troy King with the homecoming king who graduated from Troy) and that was who the wife walked in on. Then a few weeks later Troy and his boy toy from Troy were spotted at the YMCA (not kidding) engaging in....ummmm....inappropriate activities. Yeah...at the YMCA...made famous by the Village People. Apparently Troy has no inkling of what it means to be 'discreet'.

I'm betting they are both true. If Troy King can be a closet gay and Alabama Attorney General at the same time then there exists in this universe the infinite possibility for him to be a promiscuous, closet gay, Alabama Attorney General. But apparently closet and promiscuous don't go so well together. But, hell, no one is claiming that he's smart are they?

I'm LMAO at this one and anybody in Alabama knows this guy isn't the only one.

I could see a reason for it if the aide was under the legal age of consent.

51. You can't make this stuff up
Here's an interesting photo:



U.S. Republican presidential candidate John McCain shows the armband of a soldier killed in Iraq to supporters at a campaign stop in Fort Walton Beach, Florida January 22, 2008. At left are Alabama Attorney General Troy King and Colonel Bud Day, who was a prisoner of war with McCain in Vietnam.

==
Reminds me of criminals returning to scene of crime:

John McCain sued for divorce (from his first wife Carol) in Fort Walton Beach, Fla., where his friend and fellow former POW, George E. "Bud" Day, practiced law and could represent him.

===

Strange.
