It's All Fun and Games Until Someone Gets....

We laugh and have schadenfreuderiffic fun at the expense of the David Vitters of the world, but there are lots of times these wingnut hypocrites actually hurt somebody (besides their own families) without paying for the pleasure (or the diapers) ahead of time. This is one of those times.




No less a hypocrite than any other sanctimonious Chirstianist Republican yahoo, 32-year-old Michael Flory is was head of the Michigan Federation of Young Republicans, and if that doesn't sound like a Nazi splinter group I don't know what does. Well, given the events of this week, Flory is probably looking at hard time. This smug bastard pled guilty to sexual battery to avoid a stiffer penalty on 12 counts of rape.

Flory gained some notoriety at age 18 when he gave a televised speech to the
Republican National Convention in the Houston Astrodome in 1992. The Michigan
Young Republicans' Web site once hailed him as "one of the rising stars of GOP
politics in America" and declared that "Mike has earned a great name for
himself."

Like all these other a-holes, you have to check the scorecard to figure out which Republican presidential candidate the amoral law-breaker is backing in 2008. In Flory's case, it's John McCain.




You'd think Flory might have been a least a little contrite, given his guilty plea in front of the judge, the victim, his family, the public and the eyes of the Lord, but you'd be wrong:

The teary-eyed college student he overpowered in a downtown hotel room
gasped and dabbed her eyes as Flory replied to Cuyahoga County Common Pleas
Judge Peter Corrigan’s question, “Are you indeed guilty?”




“Sure — yeah,” Flory said.
