Another Talibangelist GOPer Groper bites the dust.
He probably considered stalking a woman was Gawds Work.

Hi Lemon...it sounds like I pictured it. Bullhead City, AZ. is right along those line...Mohave County
Trent Franks hails from there.

Here is something to think about. Vhr is airing Dr. Drew sex rehab show.
Look What Happens when abused or seek excitement from control and power. Just
sayin. Blake Hall seems to be a prime example of the current belief I see so wildly
portrayed by the Republican Party. Dr. Drew takes a house call on "C" street.

Dr. Drew should take a look at this pattern of GOP elite behavior:

The Dinocrats have had four (4) such cases in the ranks of their party elite IIRC.

The contrast is striking, to say the least....

Yeeeach.

From an Idaho Statesman article 07/19/09 regarding this "devout Mormon":

"In addition to helping elect George W. Bush, Hall, 56, has advised governors and secured government clients that pay his law firm $600,000 a year. He recently earned $20,000 a month as a lobbyist for the contractor cleaning up the Idaho National Laboratory."

[gparks]

Uummmm ... will fox be reporting this! It's got to be as news worthy as ... Lewinski! Bet it doesn't even get a chevron.

[JohnnyPDX]

Another republican sicko. Jeez when is it going to stop.

[Christian]

Not as long as there are republicans, it comes with the breed. They are ego centric the world is all about me and mine. They have little or no capacity for empathy and have no desire to support anything that is based on the common good of all. It is a part of humanity as it is part of the republican make up so it will be here as long as humanity survives. Shame isn't it, one would hope we could evolved beyond such primal motivations.

[pantherburns]

This behavior sounds like it deserved a long bout of observation in the loony bin, not a fifteen day cakewalk.

[sandpiper1]

This perverted hog is making a killing at the taxpayers' trough considering how many Government jobs he has. Seems like multiple conflicts of interest here somewhere.. RNC, Deputy Attorney, Education, City Council and the list goes on. I take it this is a case of who you know versus what you know.

[judiNJ]

No why am I not surprised? Yuck.

[KenMoore]

Just had a creepy thought....I wonder if those 19 c0nd0ms were new or used?

[JohnnyPDX]

The story said used.

[NeoconGal]

Used for what?

[CJ24]

Yeah, what's up with those??? What does that mean? I admit, I'm clueless on that part. That's just gross.

[LiberalDemIda]

More proof that repub men suffer extreme inferiority complexes - and it's how they approach women, and their rights, in general.

[pattio66]

From the article:

David Leroy, a former Idaho attorney general, is Hall's attorney.

"In my opinion, he accepted this severe penalty with extreme grace," Leroy said Monday. "He was calm and strong."

I wonder if David Leroy's daughter was being stalked, harassed, and terrorized, this penalty would be "severe." Republican Family Values at work!

[gparks]

EXACTLY! The values of the valueless!
