No, it's not more about Mark Sanford or Sen. John Ensign, the past week's Republican poster boys for bad behavior. It's almost become a weekly, or even daily, occurence for some hyprocritical Republican politician or political operative to fall victim to the sins against which they rail!
As reported today by the Atlanta Journal Constitution, the former Republican mayor of Gainesville, GA, Mark Musselwhite, was arrested for romping nude through a public campsite.
More on the flip:
According to the AJC...
A former mayor found sitting naked and holding a beer at a Rabun County campsite told police he wasn’t the same naked man seen walking around earlier. Mark Musselwhite, 43, said he was hot and had been in the creek, according to a Georgia Department of Natural Resources incident report.
He told me he was the ex-mayor of the city Gainesville and he was a very political person," DNR Ranger Brandon Walls wrote in the report. Walls and a deputy sheriff went to the campsite Saturday evening after a complaint of a man walking naked in Earls Ford Road, according to the report. Musselwhite appeared to be intoxicated, and several alcoholic beverages were at the campsite, Walls said.
An unidentified female was also at the campsite. Musselwhite, a Republican, was elected to the City Council in 2000. He served on the council for six years, including as mayor of the town. In 2006, he lost a bid for a state Senate seat. Musselwhite previously served as deacon of First Baptist Church in Gainesville.
