After a bit of a dry spell, it looks like things are hopping again at the Republican Rape Advisory Chart!

Just a week ago, we had Texas Republican State Representative Myra Crownover utter these words of wisdom:

“I would be curious to see how many times a pure, sober sexual assault happened,” Myra Crownover, R-Denton, said during a House Committee on Higher Education discussion on college sexual assault. “The best chance is being sober.”

And today, I have the dubious honor of adding my first county sheriff entry to the chart!

From The Oregonian:

An Idaho sheriff says the Legislature shouldn't have gotten involved in creating a statewide system for collecting and tracking rape kits because many rape accusations are false.

The state lawmaker who introduced the bill immediately denounced the comments.

Bingham County Sheriff Craig Rowland made the comments Monday to Idaho Falls TV station KIDK before lawmakers unanimously approved the new system and sent the measure to the governor.

Rowland said legislators should let law officers decide which rape kits need testing, the system that is currently in place.

He said: "The majority of our rapes — not to say that we don't have rapes, we do — but the majority of our rapes that are called in are actually consensual sex."

And while it isn’t mentioned in the article itself, on a hunch*, I looked it up and sure enough:

SHERIFF

Craig Rowland (R)

*(Not that it took much of a hunch...all 23 partisan Bingham County positions are Republican)

As an aside, today’s addition also marks the 80th entry to the Republican Rape Advisory Chart!

I guess I’m supposed to celebrate or something, but somehow that seems inappropriate...
