Will DUers now refer to family values Republicans as "wife beaters"?

Instead of "closet cases"?

Look at the career aspirations of convicted GOP wife-beater Rep. Mark Olson -- he has quit the Minnesota House to http://www.startribune.com/politics/state/25781769.html?location_refer=State%20Politics">run for state senator. Olson called his conviction for domestic assault (for shoving his wife to the ground several times) a http://minnesota.publicradio.org/display/web/2008/02/18/olson/">"personal failure." He begged his House colleagues for forgiveness; no word on whether he apologized to his family.



Ken Avidor of Dump Mark Olson sounds disappointed that he'll have to keep blogging about the co-sponsor of a state marriage amendment in his post http://dumpmarkolson.blogspot.com/2008/07/rep-mark-olson-un-dumps-himself-and.html">"Rep. Mark Olson Un-Dumps Himself and Runs for Senate": Crap... and I thought I could put this blog in mothballs...

Olson, btw, was ordered to attend two counseling sessions after reports surfaced that he was abusive to his staff in 1997 (example: throwing a typewriter at a secretary); no charges were filed.

Look at his bleating against marriage equality -- from a man convicted of abusing his spouse.

So since DUers love to excuse gay jokes at the expense of Republican hypocrites, let the Republican wife-beater jokes begin. Fair enough, yes?
