Another DUMB@$$ AWARD wiener

UPDATE: Murphy resigns political posts; cooperating with police in apparent criminal investigation

It’s official. Young Republicans suck.

Young Republican National President resigns; Says sex with man was consensual, not harassment

DUMB@$$ AWARD wiener #638: Glenn Murphy, Jr.

The chairman of the Clark County Republican Party ‚Äö√Ñ√Æ who last month was elected president of the Young Republican National Federation ‚Äö√Ñ√Æ has resigned both posts, apparently in the wake of a criminal investigation. On Tuesday afternoon, Glenn Murphy Jr. e-mailed media outlets a letter announcing his resignation from both positions, citing an unexpected business opportunity that would prohibit him from holding a partisan political office. However, the Clark County Sheriff’s Department on Friday began investigating Murphy for alleged criminal deviate conduct ‚Äö√Ñ√Æ potentially a class B felony ‚Äö√Ñ√Æ after speaking with a 22-year-old man who claimed that on July 31, Murphy performed an unwanted sex act on him while the man slept in a relative’s Jeffersonville home.

Uh…what?? Yet another holier-than-thou, Republican sexual deviant? Personally, I don’t care if Republicans bugger goats in their spare time. It when they do this AND portray themselves as holier-than-thou, “family values” types that the problems begin for me. Hypocrisy is not a Republican commodity, but it does seem to be something that far too many Republicans are far too skilled at.

In Murphy’s case, he seems to have a predilection for performing oral sex on unsuspecting males while they sleep. Nice work if you can get it, I suppose, but given that it’s also a crime if said male did not consent (Hard to do if one’s asleep, no?), Murphy would seem to be in a world o’ hurt. Combine this with the fact that he was also the national president of the Young Republicans (Don’t bother looking for a link; they’ve already scrubbed their website of any mention of Murphy.)…and you might begin to understand why our latest DUMB@$$ is in a rather uncomfortable situation.

Pardon me if I’m enjoying myself perhaps a wee bit too much here, but this sort of hypocrisy deserves to be broadcast far and wide…and I’m here to do my part. Yes, Virginia, it seems that Young Republicans do suck….
