Michigan tea party reps caught in bizarre plot to hide affair using gay sex and taxpayer dollars

Excerpts:

Michigan State Rep. Todd Courser and Rep. Cindy Gamrat, both tea party darlings and "traditional marriage" champions, have been exposed for having an affair. Their efforts to conceal their cheating ways from their spouses and the general public took a turn that can only be described as bizarre:

State Rep. Todd Courser planned the distribution of a fictional email alleging he had sex with a male prostitute in a bid to conceal his relationship with Rep. Cindy Gamrat, according to audio recordings obtained by The Detroit News.
Courser, a Lapeer Republican, said on one recording the email was designed to create “a complete smear campaign” of exaggerated, false claims about him and Gamrat so a public revelation about the legislators’ relationship would seem “mild by comparison.”

And all of it was done on the public's dime:

Interviews with former House employees and the recordings show freshman lawmakers Courser and Gamrat, R-Plainwell, used their taxpayer-funded offices to maintain and cover up their relationship. Courser, 43, and Gamrat, 42, rose from the ranks of tea party activism, battled establishment Republicans to win seats in the House last year and formed their own legislative coalition.

One never stops hearing about the various scandals of these ra-ra traditional marraige, anti-LGBT sorts; after a point, I wonder what Republican hasn't had an affair, or at least a string of divoraces?

 

And curiously enough, he also knew about Mark Foley (well ahead of when it all hit the news, of The White House Page Boy Scandal fame), causing Hastert to resign as speaker of the House. Very odd coincidence, given Hasterst's recent revelations.

We should make a Republican for 'traditional marriage' but who get caught in sex-scandals thread!
