While Rethugs have cornered the market on hypocritical, thieving turpitude, stray Democrats are not immune from Rethug-like behavior. Our two recent cases in point:
Kristian Forland, one of Bill Richardson's Nevada organizers, left the campaign a few days ago after it was learned he had managed Mona's Ranch (a legal brothel) and was also wanted on a felony arrest warrant in California for writing bad checks. (Oh well, Richardson is one of our least favorite Democratic candidates anyway.)
Rep. Bob Filner (D-CA), was charged with assault and battery after manhandling a person at Dulles International Airport the other day. Seems Rep. Filner was upset that his luggage didn't arrive when it should have (welcome to the real world, Baggage Bob!), and he took it out on a baggage claim official. He has an Oct. 2 court date.
