Orie (R-Pa.) legislative aide charged with asking 15-year-old for sex
Source: Pittsburgh Tribune-Review

A legislative aide to Sen. Jane Orie, a former prosecutor who has championed state legislation to safeguard children, was fired Friday after the Attorney General's Office charged him with sexually propositioning a child online and suggesting the two dress up as animals and have sex.

Alan David Berlin, 40, who was paid $57,340 a year to do legislative services for Orie, used the Internet screen name "alan_panda_bear" and propositioned the 15-year-old boy several times this month, Attorney General Tom Corbett said.

... In profiles posted on Internet sites used for networking among furries, or people who dress as animals, Berlin identified himself as Alan The Panda with interests in baking, board games, classical music, fine dining, movies, travel, wine -- and diapers. The cartoon panda on his Pounced.org page wears a diaper.

In that profile, Berlin confesses his screen identity is "not the most original name, but it suits me. I'm not a complicated person." He notes he has "a good job where I am well respected," and that he holds a bachelor's degree in sacred music. "I have a deep personal faith in God which I sometimes question," he wrote.

2. The part of the story that
I wonder the most about...

"a bachelor's degree in sacred music" somehow qualifies you to be a legislative aide to a state Senator and get paid $57K a year for doing so.

6. Orie is a protege of Melissa Hart
Remember that liar Melissa Hart who covered up for Mark Foley? Ol Melissa lost her seat to Jason Altmire for covering up Mr. Pedophile. Seems Orie learned a lesson from her mentor and cut her aide off, of course, after he was caught...

7. Ya know, there really can be such a thing as "too much information."
Edited on Sat May-30-09 07:14 PM by No Elephants
A furrie fetish, a diaper fetish AND an Internet predator of underage women, who occasionally questions his deep belief in God, despite his B.A. in sacred music.

Anyone have any tips on how I wipe this thread completely out of my mind forever?

9. Good luck, the GOP has an endless supply of predators and perverts.
Their lackluster vetting process guarantees this kind of crap year after year.

12. That is too much information
I think I'll go back to cleaning the cat hair out of my daughter's computer. That was a lot less sleazy than reading this stuff. Sacred Music, where in the hell do you get a degree in Sacred Music?????

17. Well, this WON'T help:
"...dress up as animals and have sex". I bet it'll take many years to clear that thought from your mind---perhaps NEVER!

Apparently those values include kiddy-diddling.

15. this is just too said to gloat over
I cannot help but think that so many of the great defenders of morality are so deeply repressed themselves - For so many of them, their whole lives are lies that when their repressed sexuality does break out - it often does so in destructive and self-destructive ways.

23. This is Santorum's dream come true - well, if it wasn't a Republican
he'd love to be able to point out sex with animals, sex with children, internet porn.... all the things that will happen if the Republicans don't legislate our morals. Um...ooops, busted again with an R - certainly FAUX news can correct the on screen to show a D

29. AAAAAAAAAAAGH!!
Edited on Sun May-31-09 08:14 AM by Robb
Too much. :yoiks:


Now, what I am looking for.

* A babyfur
* Someone who is between the ages of 20 and 25 (we can talk about edging that either direction)
* Someone who has completed or is in the process of finishing their college degree or technical training
* Someone who can drive and has their own car. It’s amazing to me how many furs don’t even know how to drive.
* Someone who is intelligent and has goals and a purpose for their life
* Someone who can work and contribute to household expenses
* Someone who likes to wear diapers and use them for their intended purposes
* Someone who is an independent adult but can let go of that and enjoy being babied (changed, dressed, bathed, snuggled, given a bottle, etc)
* Someone who doesn’t want to be a baby 24/7. I can’t be on duty every minute of every day and frankly, that would get annoying and I would begin to resent it fairly quickly.
* Someone who can call me Daddy when they’re being little
* Someone who is ideally shorter than I am and height and weight proportional. Yes, I know that is hypocritical but I have my likes and dislikes just like everyone else.
* Someone who both enjoys receiving and giving affection and isn’t afraid to show it
* Someone who is energetic and fun to be around. Yes, I’m all about being serious but I also enjoy being silly and fun.
* Someone who can also take care of me from time to time. I also have a little side that I like to indulge at times. It would be wonderful to have someone who can also treat me well.
* Someone who is just as happy cuddled up on the couch watching a movie as going out on the town and doing things
* Someone who is willing to relocate
* Someone who can be a part of my life

And now for something of the *ahem* other parts of what I’m looking for.

* I can be a naughty and kinky panda. I have a number of fetishes I like to explore.
* Sex needs to be a serious part of the relationship
* I am sometimes dominant and sometimes submissive so I need someone who will let me treat them at times as daddy’s subby little bitch and other times being their subby little bitch
* Sometimes babyfur play will lead to sex but not every time.
* There is a lot more that I would love to discuss with you privately

Wow, that’s quite a bit of information. I hope that if you’re still with me there might be something here that caught your eye and we might be able to chat and see where things might lead.

I hope to hear from you all! Please feel free to contact me on my YIM at alan_panda_bear, on my AIM at alanpandabear or through email at alan_panda_bear@????.???

*hugs and nuzzles*

~ Alan T. Panda

30. Way, way, way too much.
I thought finding out about "furries" while watching CSI years ago was a bit too much.

"Babyfur play"?

No, I don't want to know.

The part that he is "Someone who likes to wear diapers and use them for their intended purposes" was, uh, interesting. :yoiks:

27. Gosh, that's got to be at least 10% of the AFAs list of "sexual orientations"
Maybe the laws they want passed are to protect them from themselves.

31. What a damn freak show!
I use to be an interviewer for the Social Security Administration. I once took a disability claim for a phone sex operator. She was an obese woman in a wheel chair, but that is besides the point. I asked her about her profession and how she liked it. She said it was okay, she made about $10 per hour. She also said that some of the stuff that these men would ask her to talk about was just off the wall. I didn't get in to any specifics, but I can only imagine what these freaks would pay to talk about.

Furry outfits? I just don't know what to say......
