Yet another Republican sex scandal...how many does this make this week?

At least this one, North Carolina Rep. David Almond had the decency to resign almost as soon as word of his inappropriate behavior came out. The North Carolina House Republicans are trying to keep his transgression a secret, but they did force him to resign. An insurance agent, Almond was serving his second term in the House. Impeccable DWT sources tell me he exposed himself in front of a female employee and chased her around the room yelling "Suck it, baby, suck it." It is unclear whether or not there was physical contact. She filed a personnel complaint.

In a one-sentence letter to House Speaker Joe Hackney, the two-term Republican lawmaker from Stanly County immediately resigned his seat representing the 67th House District.

"A complaint has been filed against me with the Speaker. I intend to defend myself against these charges in whatever forum may be appropriate," Almond said in a written statement released by House GOP leaders.

"In the meantime, I have concluded that it is in the best interest of my family and the constituents of my district to resign from the General Assembly."

Hackney said he received "a personnel complaint" involving Almond last week, but said state and federal confidentiality laws bar him from giving any details.

...Hackney, D-Orange, didn't meet with Almond personally, delegating that job to House Republican leader Paul Stam, who announced Almond's decision at a news conference Thursday but also declined to give details.

"Sadness" was Stam's response to the complaint, which he said he first heard about late Monday afternoon, and to Almond's resignation, Stam said.

Stam, R-Wake, said Republican leaders asked Almond to resign "if the allegations were true," but that Almond resigned on his own.

"He did it himself. The leaders of the caucus asked him to resign if the allegations were true. We don't know the truth or not," Stam said.

In true Republican fashion Almond was the vice chairman of the House committee on children, youth and families.

I'm sorry...but in what was is that inappropriate?

[Kringas]

Posted: 7/13/07 at 5:10pm

Because he called her "baby."

Gotcha.

I would love to know what the woman looks like...for some reason I am not really picturing Angelina Jolie, but rather a middle aged portly woman.

Jim, actually I got the same mental image, you know before I bashed my head against the desk.

All this guy had to do was say "please" and "thank you," and the whole shameful mess never would have happened.

Didn't his mother teach him anything?

Let this be a lesson to all your Republican skirt chasers. The proper way to get oral sex from a subordinate is to say, "Excuse me, ma'am, would you please suck my dick? Thank you."

impeccable anonymous sources tell me that robbiej once chased a woman around the office with a spatula screaming, "daddy wants his pancakes flipped, bitch!"

[robbiej]

Posted: 7/13/07 at 5:23pm

Well, yeah.

But I was actually making pancakes.

Actually...flapjakes.

I don't know about the rest of you, but I've always dreamed of having a man say that to me.

[RockabyeHamlet]

Depends on the man.

"Suck it, baby, SUCK IT!"

It's music to my ears. In oh-so-many ways.

[Kringas]

Posted: 7/13/07 at 5:35pm

I know, right? Many a man has gotten me to do exactly that by saying those very words.

[PalJoey]

Posted: 7/13/07 at 5:42pm

And some have failed.

[Kringas]

But the planet spins and the world goes 'round and 'round.

That story is hysterical-my laugh for the day. Somehow it's so funny to imagine a fat old balding guy yelling out suck it baby suck it.

It's very Divine playing the man in Female Trouble~

It is rather amusing, isn't it?
