Add Another Hypocrite To The Fire

You know, I just will never be able to fathom how so many of these public figures, particularly those who take such strong positions on family values, religion and upstanding citizenship, have the most disgusting things in their, not so distant, pasts. You had Jack Ryan running for Senate in Illinois under the pretense of being a family man yet his divorce papers showed him to be a manipulative chap with the desire to have public sex. His replacement, Alan Keyes, states that VP Dick Cheney's gay daughter is a selfish hedonist, while his own daughter has been keeping an online diary which openly discusses her relationship with another young lady (not to mention that she did the campaign stump with him decked out in rainbow accessories from head to toe). Now, we have this kook whose divorce records show that he was an abusive drunk with who threatened his wife with a shotgun and pursued other women.

New York Republican state senator John Randy Kuhl, who is vying for a spot in the U.S. House of Representatives, once brandished two shotguns and threatened to shoot his wife at a dinner party, according to divorce records acquired by RAW STORY.

Kuhl engaged in cruel and inhuman treatment and other such conduct as may render it unsafe and improper for the plaintiff to cohabit with the defendant, the divorce court's finding of fact stated. According to the documents, he solicited other women, humiliated his ex-wife and refused to seek treatment for his drinking.

Not only do I wonder how these people can lead these deceptive lives then look at themselves in the mirror each day, I wonder how and why they think that no one will ever find out.
