Republican Crime Blotter: Methissippi Edition


He seems nice:
(AP) An aide to Republican Sen. Thad Cochran of Mississippi has been charged with possession with intent to distribute methamphetamine after federal agents raided his home.
Fred W. Pagan, an office administrator for Cochran, was arrested Thursday.
Court papers said Customs and Border Protection officers found a package on April 9 in Cincinnati, Ohio, that contained 1.1 kilograms of the drug known as GBL. The package was bound for Pagan’s home address.
GBL has similar effects to alcohol, but also can used in a compound commonly known as a date rape drug.
The documents said Pagan allegedly said he planned to distribute the drugs “in exchange for sexual favors.”

How Low Can You Go?


Only a tea bagger knows.   One might sink lower than this, but it would be hard to imagine:
A conservative Mississippi blogger was arrested Friday for sneaking into a nursing home to shoot a photo of the ailing wife of Sen. Thad Cochran (R-MS). According to the Jackson Clarion-Ledger, 28-year-old Clayton Thomas Kelly — who was charged with exploitation of a vulnerable adult — wanted the image to use in a “hit piece” video supporting Cochran’s far-right Tea Party primary challenger, Chris McDaniel. 
Kelly runs the Constitutional Clayton blog, where he regularly posts anti-Cochran rants, screeds against the United Nations, posts defending religious discrimination against LGBT people and a smattering of posts heaping praise on McDaniel, who Kelly calls “the next Rand Paul.” 
The blogger wanted a photo of Rose Cochran — who was hospitalized for dementia in 2000 — for an anti-Cochran video that was posted on Kelly’s YouTube channel on April 26, but which only remained online for a few hours.
Already facing criminal penalties, Constitutional Clayton will hopefully get his ass sued off by Sen. Cochran's family.  McDaniel's campaign issued a strong disavowal and condemnation of their supporter's Constitutional Clayton's actions.  (UPDATE:  But there was some curious timing involved in their knowledge of the incident.  UPDATE II:  More to the story than meets the eye.)

Fortunately, once this has all blown over, Constitutional Clayton can certainly find employment with James "G. Gordon Diddy" O'Keefe's gang of immoral ratf*ckers.

Quote of the Week


"The thought of his being president sends a cold chill down my spine. He is erratic. He is hot-headed. He loses his temper and he worries me." Sen. Thad Cochran (Rethug-MS) on his Senate colleague Walnuts McCain. We wonder if he'll be out campaigning for Hillary/Barack like (M)Ann Coulter vows to do if Walnuts is the Rethug nominee.
