Sports Desk Police Blotter

From the Hackwhackers sports desk, a news item of interest:

CBS sports commentator Greg Anthony, a former NBA player, was arrested Friday and charged with soliciting a prostitute during an undercover sting operation, D.C. police said. 

Anthony, 47, a father of four, was arrested in a room at the Doubletree Hotel on Rhode Island Avenue NW, not far from the White House, about 5:46 p.m., according to Officer Hugh Carew, a police spokesman.

Among the many questions arising from this incident is, what character flaw could have led Anthony, a married father of four, to this unfortunate state?  Let's read on:

A Republican,

Aha!

... he aspired to be the first black U.S. senator from Nevada but chose a post-NBA career as a sports analyst specializing in college basketball. He is vice chair for the Young Republicans in Nevada, according to his biography on CBS Sports’s web page. Anthony supported Barack Obama for president in 2008, but publicly endorsed GOP challenger Mitt Romney in a 2012 campaign ad.

Proving, once again, that you don't have to be a Republican to be a hypocrite, but it sure helps. (Also, that at age 47, you can still be considered a "Young Republican!")
