From today's Raleigh News and Observer, another disgraced Republican politician is charged with paying for sex:
Coy Privette, a retired Baptist pastor, conservative lawmaker and outspoken advocate for Christian groups, was charged Thursday with paying a 32-year-old Salisbury prostitute for sex acts.
The 74-year-old Cabarrus County commissioner was arrested at his home in Kannapolis early Thursday.
More hypocrisy below the fold.
I guess Cory needs to be added to the growing list of Hypocritical Right-Wing Christian Republican Politicians who can't keep their pants zipped.
Privette, a prominent Republican with a 30-year career, is one of the state's most vocal opponents of alcohol sales and legal gambling. He also serves on the State Baptist Convention of North Carolina and as president of the Christian Action League of North Carolina.
This guy doesnt want anyone to have any fun. But, he can allegedly pay for prostitutes. Pretty pitiful.
He is a longtime member of North Kannapolis Baptist Church, where he was named a pastor emeritus, a high honor, the Rev. David Prather said.
Watch out for "pastor emeritus" and Catholic priests.
UPDATE
Since this has gotten Recommended, let me add my favorite quote:
"Be not too hasty to trust or to admire the teachers of morality: they discourse like angels, but they live like men"
... Samuel Johnson, Rasselas (1759), 18.
Carry on.
