So some here say the Alabama Gov Sex tape is tabloid news.

[trumad]

Really...??? Not worthy of real news eh?

The Gov of Alabama is vehementaly anti-Gay, Anti Gay marriage.

This hurts the gay community does it not?

I say...hurt the Fucking POS back!

This scandal hurts the Asshole in a big way and I'm loving it.

So yeah...its news and it's important news.

1. you couldn't say this on that thread?

Why the new one?

[trumad]

3. Oh damn...

Should have checked with you first.

Sorry

[Viva_La_Revolution]

5. i don't really care

Was just curious what the point was.

[Renew Deal]

2. A governor with a cheating scandal is news by default

And is even more newsworthy when you have this level of hypocrisy.

[trumad]

4. Thank you

[NuclearDem]

21. I thought Bentley was divorced.

[Renew Deal]

22. He wasn't when this happened

This is why he is divorced

[NuclearDem]

23. Oh, duh, that makes sense now.

[Reter]

6. What does his views on gay rights have to do with anything?

It was to a female staffer, not another man.

[Lochloosa]

7. "Family Values" asshole. And a Deacon to boot. Fuck him.

[herding cats]

9. I realize you meant Gov Bentley here

But your post was alerted on thinking you meant the poster you're responding to here.

It's strange days here. I'm only posting this so others don't make the same mistake about your words.

Oh, and I completely agree with you. Fuck Bentley.

[rufus dog]

10. Most everyone read it the same way

I was number 3, highly amusing in a way.

REASON FOR ALERT

This post is disruptive, hurtful, rude, insensitive, over-the-top, or otherwise inappropriate.

ALERTER'S COMMENTS

Calling a long-time poster an "asshole" who had asked a question. Way over the line.

You served on a randomly-selected Jury of DU members which reviewed this post. The review was completed at Wed Mar 23, 2016, 08:46 PM, and the Jury voted 1-6 to LEAVE IT.

Juror #1 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE
Explanation: Isn't the poster calling the Alabama Gov. the asshole?
Juror #2 voted to HIDE IT
Explanation: I usually don't hide but this was unnecessary.
Juror #3 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE
Explanation: I believe he was saying the Gov was an asshole, not the poster
Juror #4 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE
Explanation: I think he's calling the former Alabama Gov an asshole
Juror #5 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE
Explanation: The poster is obviously referring to the scandalous behavior of the governor of Alabama, not the poster. For heaven's sake, read posts at least twice before hitting the alert button.
Juror #6 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE
Explanation: They're obviously calling the governor of Alabama the asshole here. The alerter misunderstood.
Juror #7 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE
Explanation: The asshole was not directed at the poster!!

Thank you very much for participating in our Jury system, and we hope you will be able to participate again in the future.

12. That alerter needs some remedial reading classes.

[B Calm]

20. Would like to know who sent that alert!

[Lochloosa]

25. You sure you weren't #2?

[rufus dog]

28. LOL

What an Asshole!

Now you have to figure out if that was meant for you or Juror #2.

LOL

Seriously, I think it was just a misread by the alerter and juror.

[Lochloosa]

29. My sense of humor seems to get me in trouble a lot

I got it. No worries.

[Democat]

16. If he is an anti-gay right winger, perhaps gay and lesbian DUers want him gone

He's a right wing Republican, do you think he wouldn't use a scandal to try to harm our gay and lesbian friends?

[ScreamingMeemie]

8. Anti-choice...

... and thanks for this thread...

[kcr]

11. I agree. I don't get the need to protect him.

Stop it, already.

[Scurrilous]

13. K & R

[malaise]

14. Word is the lady has more power than legislators

so another question which has not been answered is who exactly is paying her???

[trumad]

15. Exactly

Would not be surprised is it becomes criminal.

[malaise]

18. Meanwhile Gov Don Siegelman remains in prison

What a state!! ReTHUGs get away with everything.

[asjr]

27. Yes!! and this dirty governor will probably keep his job.

[snooper2]

17. Was it some, or just one- Did one post trigger this?

19. dKos' ericlewis0 actually reports something more than a short opinion.

There is a news story. While I value opinions here at DU (sometimes), I really value knowing what the news is or at least a link. So, if it is important news, please do tell what the hell the news is!

Maddow: Alabama Governor (R) Rocked by Alleged Sex Scandal (Audio Sex Tape Included)

Gov. Bentley and Staffer Rebekah Mason

Gov. Robert Bentley’s press conference today in which he apologized...but for what? He denied ever having had a physical relationship with his “closest aide”, but admitted that he once had an inappropriate conversation with her two years ago. A reporter asks Bentley if this conversation had anything to do with his divorce from his wife of fifty years. Bentley says he has no comment on that. ........

Rachel says it is some of the most politically damning audio OF ALL TIME.

Ewww. Partial tape transcript: “When I’m standing behind you, pull you in real close, put my hands on your breasts, put my hands under you….if we gonna do what we did the other day, we’re gonna have to start locking the door.” (paraphrased)

Busted!!!!!

Now learning from Rachel that the tape was made by his ex-wife of fifty years.

And here is the tape: ..............

[metroins]

26. I do not care who has sex with who

He should step down.

Not because he's had an affair, but because he's an abysmal governor.
