Alabama's Anti-Gay Attorney General Caught in Bed with Male Aide
By Mark Kernes
MONTGOMERY, Ala. - Okay; who said the following?
"The
existence of the Gay-Lesbian Alliance on this campus is an affront to
the state of Alabama, its citizenry, this university and its students."
"Currently,
AIDS is the most behavior-oriented disease known to mankind. If this
nation's current purveyors of perversion would refrain from committing
sodomy, they would unquestioningly be spared the ravages of the
disease."
"It is indeed sad that America has fallen to the point
where she will condone any type of deviant, immoral activity in which a
group desires to participate."
"I often hear the argument that
homosexuals who live together create a loving, caring family
environment, perhaps an environment which is even superior to that
which can be provided by a heterosexual couple. In this day of rampant
decadence, many homosexuals would mislead society into believing that
three men, an armadillo and a house plant create a functional family."
If you guessed "Troy King, Attorney General of Alabama," give yourself a cigar!
That
would be the same Troy King who, within the last couple of weeks - no
exact date available - was caught by his wife Paige in bed with a male
aide - in fact, a former "Homecoming King" from King's undergraduate
days at Troy University - and subsequently thrown out of the couple's
house.
Of course, King is best known to AVN readers as the
current defendant in retailer Sherri Williams' fight to legalize the
sale of "obscene devices" - adult novelties whose purpose is sexual
stimulation - in the Eleventh Circuit (Alabama, Georgia, Florida),
which case has been before a trial court three times, the Eleventh
Circuit Court of Appeals twice, and was recently rejected for certiorari by the U.S. Supreme Court.
Williams' case will also be the subject of a segment on ABC's "20/20" this Friday night.
"I
don't know Troy King any more than having sat across the table from him
during appeals hearings," Williams told AVN today. "But in my
experience, it's the guys that are the guiltiest that prosecute the
hardest."
The 40-year-old King, according to his Wikipedia
entry, has three children, is a practicing Baptist, is anti-abortion -
he once decried "the terrible 'cleansing' of the wombs that is carried
on in the butcher shops we call abortion clinics" - attended the
University of Alabama Law School and has been involved in several
scandals while serving as Alabama's Attorney General, a job he obtained
after his predecessor, Bill Pryor, was elevated to the Eleventh Circuit
bench by President Bush in a recess appointment.
But while
rumors that Gov. Bob Riley will ask for King's resignation in the wake
of the bedroom discovery are unconfirmed, the announcement that King
was named to be state campaign chairman of presidential candidate John
McCain's Leadership Team in Alabama has been removed from McCain's
Website, and King's hopes to succeed Riley as governor in 2010 appear
to be over as well.
After all, as someone reportedly advised
Lyndon Johnson as he was beginning his first term as U.S. Senator from
Texas, "Once elected, a politician can stay in office until they are
caught in bed with a dead prostitute or a live boy."
