State: Bounce Oklahoma jurist for "pumping it up" on bench

JUNE 24--While seated on the bench, an Oklahoma judge used a male enhancement pump, shaved and oiled his nether region, and pleasured himself, state officials charged yesterday in a petition to remove the jurist.

According to the below complaint filed by the Oklahoma Attorney General, Donald D. Thompson, 57, was caught in the act by a clerk, trial witnesses, and his longtime court reporter (these unsettling first-hand accounts will make you wonder what's going on under other black robes).

...

The AG's petition quotes Thompson (pictured above) as admitting that the pump was "under the bench" during the murder case (and at other times), but he denied using the item, which was supposedly a "gag gift from a friend."

3. one site I found

listed him among a group of "nonpartisan judicial candidates" -- I guess they don't have to run under any particular party in OK.

I believe they CAN'T run under party affiliation.

8. "...shaved and oiled his nether region..."

Oh. My. God. :wow:

I've been before some judges that I thought were certifiably insane, but this is just freakish.

Who cares what he does at home, but on the bench????

An electric razor is pretty loud...
