Posted November 2, 200717 yr http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v679/russy68/republicanscandal.jpg A Republican state legislator resigned Wednesday amid revelations that he had sex with a man he met at a pornographic video store while in Spokane on a party retreat. The move comes days after state Rep. Richard Curtis insisted to his local newspaper that he was not gay and that sex was not involved in what he said was an extortion attempt by a man last week. But in police reports, Curtis alleges he was being extorted by a man he had sex with in a Spokane hotel room. The other man contends Curtis reneged on a promise to pay $1,000 (€692) for sex. A Republican successor will be chosen by county Republican leaders, and will serve until the 2008 election. Curtis, 48, told police he was the victim of an extortion attempt by Cody Castagna at the posh Davenport Tower hotel on Oct. 26, search warrant documents said. Castagna, 26, told police that Curtis had agreed to pay him for sex, then reneged. Curtis is married and has children, according to his legislative Web site. Elected to the state House of Representatives in 2004, he voted in 2005 and 2006 against a bill that granted civil rights protections to gays and lesbians, and in 2007 voted against a bill that created domestic partnerships for same-sex couples. Both measures eventually passed the Democratic-controlled state Legislature and are now state law. Curtis was among state Republican lawmakers in Spokane Oct. 24-26 for a retreat to discuss the upcoming legislative session. He went to the Hollywood Erotic Boutique early on Oct. 26 and met Castagna, who accompanied him to the hotel, police documents said. The two arrived at the hotel around 3:30 a.m. and had sex, after which Curtis fell asleep, according to documents released Tuesday. Curtis alleged Castagna took his wallet and later offered to return it for $1,000 (€692). Curtis said he only had $200 (€138) and left an envelope with the money at the hotel desk, the documents said. Police reports said Castagna allegedly called Curtis and demanded an additional $800 (€554), and threatened to expose Curtis. But Curtis had already contacted police, who listened to the call and then met with Castagna. There have been no arrests in the case. The full story is here - it's pretty juicy stuff if you'll excuse the expression: http://slog.thestranger.com/2007/10/xxxgay IMO, he got just what he deserved - just proves how sickeningly hypocritical Republicans are - publicly all-for the de-humanising of gays - privately all-for the de-trousering of them....
November 2, 200717 yr Totally agree with you Russ. What an absolute hypocrite, he doesn't think it's okay for 2 people of the same gender to marry or have civil rights protection but he finds it okay to sleep with a man? What a moron, got what he deserved, although I would have prefer him fired than resigned. :(
November 3, 200717 yr I hate people like this, not only is he a narrowminded twit. He is a narrowminded twit that is in the closet.

November 3, 200717 yr Author can you imagine how ashamed his kids are? I mean, imagine having a father with a ginger tache and grey hair :rolleyes: :P ;)
November 3, 200717 yr I looooove this new trend! To be honest, they're all victims of Karl Rove's master plan to get the evangelicals in bed. It worked for the 2004 election but has proven to be disastrous for the 2006 and upcoming 2008 elections. When you force all republicans to ally with religious nut cases, you lose the entire center. Democrats are absolutely sure to keep the Congress and take over the presidency in a year. Of course, GWB's cataclysmic failures haven't helped, either.

Totally with you on this Russ, 110%.... I'm thoroughly sick of these degenerate hypocrites and how they vilify the gay community when in fact they're just big ole poofters themselves (no offence meant in that Russ... :) ).... :lol: :lol: :lol: I'm waiting for a scandal involving Dubya, some whipped cream and a labrador named Dave...... :lol: :lol: :lol:
