Borzou, you know that's strange because just the other day I was visiting a friend of mine who is a devoted Democrat. He told me that when the Democrats started looking for leadership in a pornography king like Flynn it was time he started voting Republican. So I guess where you lose a few you win a few. Can you imagine a few years ago predicting Bill Clinton would edge the Democratic party so far into the moral abyss they would line up behind Hustler magazines pornography king for their salvation! :-) It's pathetically laughable that a person such as Flynn is regarded by Democrats to be of such a virtuous nature as to now be their symbol of liberal wisdom and knowledge. :-) The Democrats actually have him on television defending Bill Clinton!! We have definitely reached the lowest of low points for the Democratic party. I figured they would follow Clinton far, but I never would have predicted this far! Pretty soon I guess they will have Hillary spread eagle as one of Flynn's centerfold spreads with a caption above it " Hey it's the nineties morality be damned" :-) Ohhhh, what a hideous thought! :-) Michael

From your link: It was the same statute that had been narrowly upheld 12 years ago by the U.S. Supreme Court in Bowers v. Hardwick, a landmark setback to gay rights. The Hardwick in question was Michael Hardwick, who had literally found a police officer in his bedroom. (The officer had come to Hardwick's house to serve a warrant for failure to pay a fine for public drunkenness, discovered him in bed with another guy and arrested him for that.) The Bowers was Michael Bowers, who was attorney general of Georgia. Last year, when Bowers ran unsuccessfully in Georgia's Republican gubernatorial primary, it emerged that at the same time that he was prosecuting Hardwick, he was in the midst of a 10-year adulterous affair with an office employee. Georgia law also made adultery a crime. No doubt Bowers' realities were complicated. Gee, the Republican Party should change its name to "Adulterers R Us" :-)
