Mary Kay Letourneau was raised on good Republican values
This was noted on MSNBC "Headliners And Legends" today:

Her father, former republican California Senator and US congressman John Schmitz was a member of the John Birch Society until he was thrown out for anti-semitic views. He was also an instructor of political science at Santa Ana College.

He was generally considered one of the most conservative members of the Congress, and was known for his outrageous political comments. In 1965, he called the Watts riots "a communist operation". He considered Richard M. Nixon and Ronald Reagan liberals, and suggested, when Nixon first went to the People's Republic of China, that it would be best if he not come back.

In 1982, he chaired a committee hearing on abortion, which led to his issuing a press release headlined "Senator Schmitz and His Committee Survive Attack of the Bulldykes". He referred to his audience at the hearings as having "hard, Jewish, and arguably female faces." Feminist attorney Gloria Allred, who had testified before the committee, sued for $10 million, but settled for $20,000 and an apology. Schmitz's apology read, in part, "I have never considered her to be...a slick, butch lawyeress".

That same year, an infant boy was treated at an Orange County hospital for having hair tied so tightly around his penis that it was almost severed. The baby was placed in protective custody, and the court demanded that the baby's father step forward. It turned out that Schmitz, a purported defender of family values, was the father. The baby's mother, a 43-year-old German immigrant and former student, was his mistress and had two children by the former Congressman. This scandal effectively ended his career.

Now we know where Mary Kay got her keen sense for values. Hahahaha

2. Chances are pretty good that she was
sexually abused. That's often what leads to fixing on "partners" of an inappropriately young age.

family member. I'll post a link if I can find it.

Hahahahaha....I guess these republicans run on a tax cutting platform to distract from their sexual deviance.

When in the presence of a Conservative, it's probably good to not turn your back.
If they can't get your pants off, they'll steal your wallet.

8. He ran for President in 1972.
He ran as the American Independent nominee. The same party that Wallace ran as in 1968.

11. Repressed child rebelling against fake morality as a grown up
Sounds pretty standard. The wildest kids at college are the children of fundies.

14. Sounds like John G spawned a small army of conservative deviants
Just a matter of time before his sons' sexual excentricities come to light. Unless the stories fly under the radar.
