Mayor Jim West caught with live boy (practically) and still in office...

[carpe diem]

...dead girl, live boy rule no longer applicable for Republicans...

What the hell does a Republican have to do these days to get kicked out of office! If these allegations were made against a Democrat, he would be in the federal pen already! The article below is lengthy but very disturbing and heartbreaking.

Hahn was a Spokane County sheriff's deputy who killed himself in August 1981 after being accused of sexually abusing boys.

At the time of his death, Hahn was the assistant scoutmaster of Boy Scout Troop 345, which was headed by his friend and fellow deputy Jim West, who is now Spokane's mayor.
....................

In a sworn deposition, Robert J. Galliher said West molested him at least four times in the 1970s, twice while West was on duty in uniform, driving a sheriff's car.

In an interview with the newspaper, Galliher said he was introduced to West by Hahn at Hahn's apartment. At the time of the alleged abuse, West lived in an apartment about a block from Hahn.

one of their own gets away with a crime. I swear they enjoy it. It's all a power game for the criminally insane.

the REPUBLICANS for all the creepiness in the Catholic Church in Spokane.

4. Disgusting.

Have the people in Spokane gotten angry, yet?

The only thing that can get these creeps out of office is mob rule, apparently.

5. It was a Democrat of whom most Democrats are none too proud

The only way I can lose is if I'm caught in bed with either a dead girl or a live boy.

Those are the words of former Louisiana Governor Edwin Edwards, commenting on his chances of winning his 1983 re-election bid. Mr. Edwards, who will be 78 on August 7, currently resides at the Federal Correctional Institution in Oakdale, Louisiana, where he is serving a ten-year sentence for racketeering.

7. Republican family values: child molestation

We already knew it from Abu Ghraib, here it is confirmed again (as it repeatedly has been in the past).
