Yes, yes, I did a comment on this story when it first broke. But with Larry Craig flushed down the resignation crapper, let's turn our attention one of the other GOP sex scandals (we have so many to choose from). By the way, what happened to that Larry Flynt list? I digress. . .
Back to Coy Privette. I find his picture hilarious, as he looks a great deal like Divine, the drag queen of John Waters' early movies. Beyond that, we get into the details of his (alleged) wrong-doing. No, it doesn't involve dressing as a 350-lb. transvestite. Though he wouldn't even have to change his name, would he?

All Muck is Local: Blank Check to Coy's Mistress Brings Trouble
Make room Craig, Vitter and Bob. Coy Privette (R-NC) wants to join the summer of scandal!
Privette, a 74-year old retired pastor, has pleaded guilty to six counts of soliciting a prostitute. Privette is a long-time participant in North Carolina politics, spending eight years in the state house and another nine as a commissioner of Cabarrus County. He is a staunch social conservative and, until recently, President of the Christian Action League.
The trouble started for Privette back in May, when an unnamed woman cashed a blank check with his signature on it. The woman had a second check, already written out for $4,000. She explained that the checks weren’t given to her, but to a friend who had asked her to cash them. Privette was alerted of the possible forgery; he said he had indeed lost the two checks and the bank refunded his money. Case closed. . . ?
