Charles Thomas, N.C. speaker's top aide, linked to lobbyist

3. the reporting of this icked me out this morning

Yes, I know they're raging hypocrites by cheating on their spouses while advocating Amendment One, but many Congresscritters nationally are married to and/or regularly date lobbyists and it isn't national news (nor is it required to be disclosed, unless maybe there is a direct connection between legislation they're writing and the person they're dating).

A private detective was following these two around restaurants in Raleigh. Maybe it was one of the cheated upon spouses, in which case I could understand, but it just icks me out that our party might have operatives who are watching and reporting to a statewide newspaper whom people kiss in the corner of Tyler's Tap Room.

I know, I know. . . we need to play dirty, too. But, yuck--their mud is gross!
