When I read this opening to an article about a Republican politician, I knew instantly exactly where it was going.
Meet Tennessee state senator Paul Stanley. He's a solid conservative Republican and married father of two, who according to his website is "a member of Christ United Methodist Church, where he serves as a Sunday school teacher and board member of their day school." (Check out the religious imagery on the site -- the sun poking through clouds, as if manifesting God's presence -- which of course shows Stanley's deeply pious nature.)
Can you? Take a guess, then look below the fold.
In a sworn affidavit, a Tennessee state investigator has said that Stanley admitted to having a "sexual relationship" with a 22-year-old female intern working in his office, and to taking nude pictures of her in "provocative poses" in his apartment.
Hmmm. Maybe they've confused him with Starchild Paul Stanley of Kiss — there's no way a respected, staid conservative politician could ever so abuse his power to take advantage of young women, is there?
