Text messages obtained by The Star reveal a sexually charged relationship between [Republican] House Speaker John Diehl and a college freshman in a Missouri Capitol internship program that shut down abruptly last month.
The conversations unveil a flirty rapport and suggest an intimacy between arguably the state’s most influential lawmaker and a young woman taking some pleasure in a secret association.
The texts show occasional efforts by Diehl and the intern to meet in person. They range from mundane chatter, about boring meetings and dreading speeches, to the more sexually suggestive.
Diehl declined to comment. The intern, who has hired an attorney specializing in employment matters, told The Star that the text messages were not real. Meantime, she has told confidants that she had an ongoing relationship with Diehl. [snipping out some steamy Diehl-intern messages here]
Diehl lives with his wife and three sons in Town and Country, Mo. (our emphasis)Texas
An Oklahoma woman who works as a dancer at a “gentlemen’s club” has filed a protective order against Texas State Sen. Charles Perry*, the anti-gay Republican who likened America’s “spiritual battle” to the Holocaust when he was sworn in. But isn’t that how it always goes?
The woman, Cynthia Lynn Ortiz, filed a handwritten request for the protective order in Creek County, Oklahoma, where she claims she moved after Perry began stalking her in 2010. Ortiz says she met the lawmaker at a Lubbock, Texas Republican Women’s event in 2009, but later relocated to Denton, Texas, and then to Oklahoma, when he would not leave her alone. According to the protective order request — of which Ortiz posted a photo on Twitter — Perry recruited acquaintances to help him keep tabs on the woman.[snip]
Since being sworn in in September, when he first declared that the U.S. government is perpetuating “laws that lead citizens away from God,” Perry has put his name on an anti-same-sex marriage bill on which the Texas legislature is expected to vote this week. The “The Preservation of Sovereignty and Marriage Act” would prevent Texas from issuing same-sex marriage licenses even in the face of legalized marriage equality across the country. The lawmaker has been an adamant proponent of “protecting” “traditional marriage,” despite allegedly frequenting strip clubs and attempting to kiss the employees. (our emphasis)* Married, with two children, and no relation to former Republican Gov. Rick "Oops" Perry (Dumbass-TX).
Of course, last week we had this Republican State Senator from Vermont and his generous offer of exchanging sex for overdue rent from his tenants.
There's still time today for more hypocritical Republican sex weasels to emerge in these or other states, so stay tuned!
UPDATE: The obligatory apology from Diehl, who intends to remain Speaker of the Missouri House.
UPDATE II: He (Diehl) gone.
