If It's Friday...

...it must be another Republican sex or corruption scandal.

Or...two Republican sex or corruption scandals!

Just yesterday I was wondering, what to write on Nettertainment? What about that old staple topic, the godsend, the Republican sex scandal? Where were you in my hour of need?

Mark Foley: Spent.
Larry Craig: Played.
David Vitter: Climaxed too soon.

But tonight, all is well. Thanks to Joey DiFatta, St. Bernard Parish Councilman and until-today GOP candidate for Louisiana state senate:

Jefferson Parish deputies working an undercover detail in a men's bathroom at Dillard's at Lakeside Shopping Center in March 2000 stopped DiFatta after he indicated a desire to engage in sex with an undercover deputy in an adjoining bathroom stall, according to an interoffice memorandum written by Sgt. Keith Conley, one of the deputies involved in the investigation.

The report said DiFatta slid his foot into the deputy's stall and tapped the deputy's foot. In the report, Conley noted that such activity is common among men to indicate a willingness to participate in sex.

The deputy inside the stall, Detective Wayne Couvillion, responded by tapping his foot, and DiFatta reached under the partition and began to rub the deputy's leg, the report states.

The detective asked DiFatta, "What do you want?" according to the report, and he replied, "I want to play with you."

As anyone who knows me, I'm all for play. And I don't actually think our police need to waste their time looking for all-male hook-ups. I don't think even Councilman DiFatta should have to lead a double life, or be ashamed about his perfectly normal homosexual orientation.

But once again, it couldn't have happened to a nicer guy, i.e. one running on the platform plank, "Defend our conservative values from attacks by extreme liberal groups."

Moving On, poor Joey DiFatta's sad little scandal is nothing compared to the wild times at Oral Roberts University:

Richard Roberts is accused of illegal involvement in a local political campaign and lavish spending at donors' expense, including numerous home remodeling projects, use of the university jet for his daughter's senior trip to the Bahamas, and a red Mercedes convertible and a Lexus SUV for his wife, Lindsay.

She is accused of dropping tens of thousands of dollars on clothes, awarding nonacademic scholarships to friends of her children and sending scores of text messages on university-issued cell phones to people described in the lawsuit as "underage males."

One can only speculate that the other shoe waiting to drop is embezzlement to support the psycho over-indulged lifestyle, otherwise that's not really a scandal, it's the cost of doing religious business in those evangelical circles. It would still leave the "Affirmational" Action backdoor scholarships and, although underage males are involved, not homosexuality, but instead (and this is what makes this scandal so unique and potentially the most entertaining of all):

Underage Cougar Action.

Leave it to the GOP to innovate UCA.

Just like clockwork, providing salvation for bloggers everywhere; as if on schedule, run like a corporation, the one product of theirs we crave and the one that they will always eventually deliver.

It's like a contract with America.
