WHAT'S WITH NORTH CAROLINA CONGRESSLOON PATRICK McHENRY AND THE... BOYS?

McNutcase out looking for more roommates

In the past I've talked a lot about what a right wing extremist and a clown North Carolina's goofy little congressman Patrick McHenry is. I've never mentioned the considerable rumors about him being another hypocritical Republican closet queen. (OMG! The latest on that. These Republicans! I am truly shocked the way they carry on!)

Last week The Hill hinted something was up in a story ostensibly about bachelors, "A Spouse, Who Needs It?" The bookend bachelors are both from North Carolina, the oldest bachelor congressman being Republican Howard Coble, 76, and the youngest being McNutcase, now 32 (although he still has the social maturity of a precocious 15 year old).

According to the National Center for Health Statistics, those who wed face an uphill battle: The divorce rate is holding steady at about half of all unions.  

“If you have lots of people who are in this situation themselves, they’re going to have a different orientation,” Habbel said.
 
“Nowadays most people don’t bat an eye” when it comes to a candidate who is divorced, he said. “Newt Gingrich certainly did catch some flak for how he handled his relationships, but generally speaking, social trends have made it more acceptable and less of a stigma [to be divorced],” Habbel said.  

That growing sense of acceptance could also be true for gay members. There are two openly gay members in the 110th Congress, Reps. Barney Frank (D-Mass.) and Tammy Baldwin (D-Wis.). Baldwin is in a domestic partnership; Frank ranks among the spouseless camp. And while two out of 435 is hardly a significant sliver of Congress as  a whole, that number could well be higher, assuming there are some members who have not yet talked publicly about their sexual orientation...

But singles in Congress who would like to find that special someone need not despair. Members who enter the House single don’t always stay that way. In 2003, Rep. Vic Snyder (D-Ark.) married his girlfriend, Betsy, after six years as a House bachelor.  

Of course, it might be convenient to just start looking inside the House chamber for love.

With Foley, Schrock, and Kolbe all gone from the House, McNutcase will either have to cross over to the Senate side where there are still plenty of gay Republican blades from South Carolina, Kentucky and Idaho or else look elsewhere for love.  In fact, it looks like he has (been looking elsewhere). Mike Rogers has the whole sordid story-- with documentation-- at blogActive

The short version: McNutcase has had hot and cold running boys living in his home-- God knows how many!!!-- and voting in multiple locations. One of McNutcase's boys, Lay, was just indicted-- by a Republican prosecutor. But there were so many young men living at McNutcase's house that he was either running a vote-scamming operation-- which looks certain-- or a male brothel, hardly a stretch for this rabid hypocrite, the GOP point man on defending Mark Foley when he was caught with the meat in his mouth last year. Good thing the GOP is so serious about going after voter fraud. I expect they'll make McHenry resign from all his committees first thing Monday. Right?


UPDATE: OH GOLLY, MISSY MOLLY

People in North Carolina really don't like their tiny weeny little congress...person.


UPDATE: McNUTCASE MAKES THE BIG-TIME

Itsy-bitsy teeny-weenie Patti McHenry (R-NC) makes it to the top of the Countdown: The World's Worst Person.
