Ethics Alert: For GOP Family Values Incumbents and Wannabe Candidates

Proposed Dress Code for MO Legislative Interns

Legislative Proposal Will Cancel This

(based on some legislator views and uncontrollable moods at work)

This story is almost too bizarre or side-splitting funny (yet really happened) to comprehend or believe. My synopsis from the article:

In May, MO House Speaker John Diehl resigned after revelations he had a sexually charged relationship with a college freshman who was interning in a Missouri Capitol internship program. He was, of course, is one of those “family values conservatives.”

A mere two months later, MO Sen. Paul Levota abruptly resigned after revelations he sexually harassed two female interns.

Now the MO Republicans are scrambling to come up with a new internship policy. Rather than focusing on getting their own members to behave professionally with young staffers, as they would in any business setting they seem hell bent on reeling in those interns who cause so much trouble with this dramatic recommendation: Adopt stricter dress code for interns.

GOP Rep. Bill Kidd, an Independence, MO Republican, responded almost immediately with the suggestion that an intern dress code was needed. He was seconded by Republican Rep. Nick King of Liberty, MO.

Both have said: “We need a good, modest, conservative dress code for both the males and females. Removing one more distraction will help everyone keep their focus on legislative matters.”

So, let the old geezers fondle interns or whatever and blame the intern for a sexy dress or tight jeans … GMAFB. But, you have to luv the GOP, eh? 

Thanks for stopping by – come again.
