Sorry for missing yesterday – got busy with work and a thank you reception for the former chair of the Board of Governors of the Sussex Family YMCA who is battling terminal bone marrow cancer.
Our awardee today is a joint award – Senator David Viter and his aide, Brent Furer. I’m sure all of us know by now Vitter’s problems with prostitutes and the late DC Madam. But of course, all he had to do was apologize and say a few Hail McConnels, the Republican version of a Hail Mary, and all was forgiven. So another family values Republican who likes his ladies of the evening. Plus, he opposed the Lily Ledbetter Act and even voted against coverage for mammograms. Guess he just wants his women barefoot and pregnant, unless he’s paying for them to spank him while he’s wearing a diaper.
What is worse is that his aide, Furer, has had his own run-ins with the law, including DUI’s, cocaine possession, and beating the crap out of former girlfriend, so bad that she needed stitches to close up a wound on her face. Wow, big man, beating up a woman. But let’s did that hole a bit deeper, Brent. It appears that Furer used taxpayer money to fly back to Baton Rouge to appear in court. Taxpayer money for his expenses to appear in court. That takes some really big balls. I guess Furer forgot that all of that information is public and it would be easy to connect the dots between his “official” travel and his court dates.
So, a “family values” Rethuglican and his aide who likes to beat up women – I think they’re deserving of being today’s Asshats of the Day.
