THE LATEST ORAL ROBERTS SCANDAL'S MISSING COMPONENT REARS ITS HEAD: WHERE WOULD ANY GOP SCANDAL BE WITHOUT GAY SEX?

Last Saturday's report on the Oral Roberts Family Circus was only missing one thing: gay sex. There was perverted straight sex, lots of embezzlement and misappropriations of funds, tawdry Republican politics, religionist fakery, power plays, cover-ups... but no one hiding in the little boys' rooms drooling on himself. Oh but there was-- I just missed it!

Today's Tulsa World is reporting that the lawsuit against Oral Roberts "University" and Oral's crooked relatives who live off it like parasites have some new charges comin' down the pike. As though the old ones weren't bad enough, the 3 former ORU professors00 fired when they questioned the unsavory way the "school" was being run-- have amended their lawsuit and added the gay component-- well, not exactly gay the way normal people understand "gay." This is pure GOP gay: closet case homophobes who preach hatred of gays while they sneak around and try seducing young children-- Republican Gay.

The new suit includes a new allegation that Richard Roberts and ORU gave "a convicted sexual deviant unrestricted access to the students of the university."

The suit doesn't identify the person, but says that prior to his association with the school he had confessed to crimes in Tulsa, Tulsa County and Payne County.

"All three allegations of sexually-deviant conduct resulted in convictions," the suit says.

The person was hired at the direct personal instruction and under the supervision of Richard Roberts, the suit says.

The person, identified as a "Mentor" for ORU students, "confessed to the facts regarding exposing himself to a fifteen year old boy in a school locker room," the suit says.

As indicated last week, Mrs. Roberts was having inappropriate relations with underage boys as well. No wonder people are calling it a Buy Bull school! "Dead bolt locks were install[ed] on all bedroom doors at the Richard Roberts residence at the insistence of his oldest daughter. 'This was precipitated by Mrs. Roberts repeatedly moving into the home her 16 year old male "friend," which made her daughters uncomfortable,' the assessment says. The assessment also says: 'Mrs. Roberts has personally spent the night in the ORU guest house with an underage male on nine separate occasions.'" But who's counting?

(UPDATE: On this kind of a story you'd be crazy not to get Pam Spaulding's always riotous and incisive outlook.)

It's funny that today one of the GOP's oldest propagandists, Peggy Noonan, asks in the official GOP newspaper of record "How do candidates distance themselves from Bush without alienating his die-hards?" It may not dawn on her and her ilk until November, 2008 that the problem isn't just Bush. It's everything about what the Republican Party has turned into, from Grover Norquist's drowning competency in a bathtub to Tom Delay's, Duke Cunningham's and Jerry's Lewis' never-ending tales of corruption, to the shameless rubber stamping of a hateful, vicious agenda and of endless lies and distortions coming out of the regime, to the hypocritical perversions of the Larry Craigs, Marks Foleys, Mitch McConnells and these fake preachers.

And she's worried about the presidential candidates (Newt's pathetic pygmies™)?

Fred Thompson gives "a very incoherent and not very concise stump speech," peaked months ago, and is the campaign's "biggest dud." Mitt Romney has "an authenticity problem"; he is "almost too mechanical about the issues." John McCain faces "enormous hurdles," and the "irony" of his quest is that he may just be repeating 2000. Mike Huckabee has "the obvious problems-- being from Hope, Ark., and quite frankly having the last name Huckabee." The craven Republicans are "terrified about losing the presidency after losing Congress.

But the whole party is a dud which peaked long ago, is completely incoherent, craven and with one bad name in the eyes of the American people. You rarely hear anything approximating truthfulness from any of the Republicans in office or seeking office. Peggy brought up the only truth anyone heard at the last pygmy debate. It came from McCain and was addressed to The Republicans.

"The American people no longer have trust or confidence in our government. Our failure at Katrina, our failures in Iraq, our failures to get spending under control. And we've got to restore that trust and confidence." That sounded like the beginning of a little rebellion."

UPDATE: LINDSAY ROBERTS SAYS SHE IS NOT A HO

So? Larry Craig will also swear on a stack of Buy-bulls that he's not gay. And Rudy Giuliani spent more time at Ground Zero that the rescue workers. What do they have in common? GOP. Here's what Mrs. Roberts, well known for a voracious and insatiable lust for young meat, had this to say:

"I live my life in a morally upright manner and throughout my marriage have never, ever engaged in any sexual behavior with any man outside of my marriage as the accusations imply. Allegations against me in a lawsuit yesterday are not true. They sicken me to my soul."

They sicken all our souls; in fact your family's whole Elmer Gantry routine does.
