I know! One cannot help but stand and stare at the spectacle. It's gone national now. Bill Ballenger and Tim Greimel were on CBS This Morning talking about it.

I started writing a blog about it last night and the links to new stories were coming fast and furious. I'm still reading that stuff and it's unreal! I've been having so much fun reading it all, I never finished the blog. It just goes on and on. . .

I love it when hypocrites get caught at the same things they go off on. Especially when they're "lawmakers". Especially when they're bible-thumping Tea Partiers. Something very soul-satisfying about it all.

Yep, it's a conspiracy

Yep, it's a conspiracy against him! He was blackmailed! The progressives did it to him! And whatnot!

Sigh.

The saddest thing is, this isn't the first time he's allegedly done some nefarious deed to make himself look good.

From Michigan Liberal:

It would be remiss of me not to mention that this isn't the first time that Courser is alleged to have cloaked himself in the mantle of a sexual deviant to get ahead politically. It either takes tremendous native cunning or astonishing stupidity to allow your sexuality to get dragged through the mud like this just to get ahead. Like the man himself at the end of his half hour confession to the public, I'll let you -- dear reader -- draw your own conclusions about what this says about him.

Seriously. From the link in the above quote...

In the false flag email Todd Courser wrote accusing himself of a gay sex scandal with a prostitute to cover up his real affair with fellow legislator Cindy Gamrat, Courser's email mentions a child molestation allegation against him. As it turns out, Courser himself concocted the child molestation allegations last year to help win his seat in Lansing.

It just keep getting piled higher and deeper.

Michissippi.

Apparently, Courser has apologized via a rambling audio recording on his website according to CNN. He's refusing to step down, though ... and his explanation is downright Trumpish.

Here's a little update on this story...because, god help me, I just cannot look away.

Employees in the House Business Office began taking possession of documents, laptop computers and servers containing Courser and Gamrat’s state email accounts on Friday and continued over the weekend, Cotter said.

Cotter ordered an investigation into Courser and Gamrat just hours after The Detroit News first revealed Friday that Courser sought the help of a House employee to distribute a fictitious email alleging he had a homosexual affair in order to make allegations of an affair with Gamrat look tame by comparison.

Cotter, R-Mount Pleasant, said the House’s computer servers preserved all electronic records in Courser’s and Gamrat’s systems.

There might be a little snag in this so-called investigation. (Republicans investigating Republicans.) Further down in the article, it says that Courser and Gamrat did most of their official business using private email accounts and cell phones.

...the representatives didn't routinely use their state email accounts.

"Courser and Gamrat conducted state business almost exclusively through private email accounts and private cellphones,” Allard told The News.

So, how are they supposed to investigate that? How are they supposed to find out if state resources were misused by these two perversely Christian public servants if most of their official business was conducted by private communications? There is no mention of their private communications being seized by officials.

Yeah, they're gonna skate on this.

Recall WH correspondent and soft ball questioner of W Jeff Gannon, the male prostitute who advertised on the web, and who got a special white house press pass under Rove/GWB, plus who checked into the white house after hours but not out?

He 'represented' some fake Texas news site, and his pass was pulled when the gay prostitute stuff came out, he would ask softball questions of W when (rarely) tough questions were asked, and Colbert had a spoof on a Gannon button on the podium on one of his roast of GW bush at the 2004 DC Press Correspondents Dinner..

George W. and Rove create Gannon and anoint him with White House press pass powers

Colbert's spoof of Pres. Bush - as he looks for the Gannon button as Helen Thomas, that pesky old woman in the front of press row whose been around since JFK, asks again about the Iraq War

Yeah I agree Momoe.
