[H]e has hid behind the TBI investigation to avoid saying anything one way or another.



“Unfortunately, I am the victim and a witness to a crime in an ongoing investigation. At this time, I have been advised by authorities and the District Attorney’s office not to comment. There is already misinformation being inferred regarding this matter which I look forward to clearing up at the appropriate time,” Stanley said in a statement.



Interesting phrasing. Of course, we don’t know what happened or didn’t happen exactly. All we know is that instead of telling the blackmailer that his bluff was called and to do his worst, he called the TBI.



Instead of proclaiming his innocence and his martial fidelity on camera to get in front of the story, he hid behind a written statement. While the words in his statement say innocent, his actions say guilty.





What a guy! I bet he would have opposed the Bill of Rights, the emancipation of the slaves or the minimum wage too had he lived in any earlier time when conservatives were fulminating against that stuff.

I have a feeling allreaders will know the punch line of this tale before they read another 15 words. Tennessee state Senator Paul Stanley was the driving force behind his state's anti-gay adoption legislation. No, he wasn't caught in a toilet trying to seduce an undercover cop. The ultra-conservative freak was having an affair with a young woman who was working as a legislative intern. What the hell is wrong with these Republican hypocrites? They're such a cliche at this point that it's becoming painful to write about them! The woman, McKensie Morrison, is 23 years old. Stanley, aside from being a moralizing homophobic wingnut, is the chairman of the Senate Commerce Committee and a married man with two young children and a true Republican defender of the sanctity of marriage. Stanley hasn't confessed, nor has he denied the relationship; but when Ms. Morrison's boyfriend tried blackmailing him he called the Tennessee Bureau of Investigation.I'm sure you could surmise all this but, for the record, Stanley is a rabid gun nut, an anti-choice fanatic, the former state chairman of the Tennessee Young Republicans, a former staffer for Dollar Bill Frist, and, of course, a Sunday school teacher for the Methodist Church in Germantown. Oh, and he's probably a crook as well as a philanderer; he works for the criminal ponzi operation run by the recently busted "Sir" Allen Stanford. Aside from being the state Senate's most homophobic member, he's best known as an enemy of working families for his sponsorship of a failed bill to preempt local "Living Wage" ordinances. The bill would have prohibited any local government setting the minimum wage at a higher rate than the federally imposed minimum wage.
