A state delegate whose home was searched by authorities last month announced today that he will resign from office.

Del. Robert A. McKee, a Washington County Republican, said that authorities searched his Hagerstown home Jan. 31 and seized his personal computer, "including images that are available on the Internet."

McKee, who also announced that he would resign as executive director of Big Brothers and Big Sisters of Washington County, said he intends to enter treatment and has instructed his attorney to cooperate with law enforcement officials. He did not specify what kind of treatment he would seek.

"For me, this is deeply embarrassing. It reflects poorly on my service to the community," he said in the statement. "My primary focus is to get well and stay well. I know this can happen only with the support and prayers of my family and friends and the help of professionals."

Rich Wolf, a spokesman for the Baltimore FBI office, said a cyber crimes unit is assisting in the investigation.

1. Another one bites the dust! Good!

Something needs to be done to get these sickos off the streets, whether they're public officials or not. The only treatment he needs is 5 minutes in Oz (hence the HBO series) and he'll straighten out real quick!

When are these repugs gonna learn they'll get caught sooner or later?

3. uh-oh...

from the article-
"McKee, who was active in numerous youth athletic and civic groups in his district, was one of the legislature's leading advocates on children's issues and had co-sponsored a bill this year that would deny child sexual predators the ability to earn good-time credits on their prison sentences."

something tells me that he's going to regret that one...

5. Imagine what would happen to a Republican Party Chairman and Treasurer

of a large County that provided shelter, drugs and alcohol, money and other things to "runaways" from an adjudicated youth residential facility.

Imagine what would happen when it was "discovered" that there was sexual activity with the adjudicated "runaway" and other children by the County's Republican Party Cahirman and Treasurer.

In Green Bay, Wisconsin the Brown County Republican Party Chairman and Treasurer, Donald Fleischman, resigned after being indicted-then all charges were dropped.

That wasn't so long ago-seems like nobody wants to discuss this important topic during an election year regardless of where they reside.

7. Another RESMUTLICAN evangelical pedophile caught with

images of children on his home computer while positioning himself with an organization that serves children.

Real nice. Sick deviant!

8. Hey, where is Mark Foley tonight?

He was so heavily involved with his concerns about missing and exploited children, while he was exploiting them.

That merits a reposting of a very important thread that was started just before the 2006 midterm elections when Mark Foley's Pagegate was breaking out.

This caused several of us to ask questions about crimes against children-and when we took a close look at some of the individuals and organizations entrusted with combating this we were stunned by the backgrounds of more than a few of them.
