Never give a known liar the benefit of the doubt.

Bad people in a position to do bad things will do bad things because they are bad people. End of story.

Republicans cannot even be trusted with their own money.

Republicans don’t lie to be believed, they lie to be repeated.

Today’s Republican Hypocrite

Here:

A decade before calling himself “a consistent supporter of pro-life values,” Tennessee physician and Republican U.S. Rep. Scott DesJarlais supported his ex-wife’s decision to get two abortions before their marriage, according to the congressman’s sworn testimony during his divorce trial.

Obtained by the Chattanooga Times Free Press, the couple’s 2001 trial transcript also confirms DesJarlais had sexual relationships with at least two patients, three coworkers and a drug representative while he was chief of staff at Grandview Medical Center in Jasper, Tenn. During one affair with a female patient, DesJarlais prescribed her drugs, gave her an $875 watch and bought her a plane ticket to Las Vegas, records show.

DesJarlais spokesman Robert Jameson did not respond to requests for comment. The attorney for the congressman’s ex-wife said that at this point she does not have any comments to issue on her ex-husband’s testimony.

Don’t people normally lose their medical license for sleeping with patients?

    From this loathsome toad’s testimony:

    ‘ DesJarlais backed a second abortion after she returned from a military stint in Saudi Arabia a few years before they married in 1995.

    “[It] was after she had gotten back from Desert Storm and things were not going well between us and it was a mutual decision,” he said.

    The general practitioner reflected on both abortions in his testimony in Marion County Chancery Court. ‘

    ‘not going well’. That is sound basis for a decision on abortion for this jackass, but not for anyone else, right?

    A matter of life and death, health or disability is not enough for anyone else. but ‘not going well’ is A-OK for himself and his favored circle. That is just peachy, huh?

    “I don’t think that it was easy for either one of us,” he said. “I think it was a very difficult and poor choice and I think that there are probably regrets both ways.” ‘

    This goes back to my Grand Unified Theory of what makes people wingnuts: They’re always emotionally immature.

    It may show up in various ways: an inability to maintain normal adult relationships; pathological dishonesty; temper tantrums; reckless irresponsiblity; etc.

    But every wingnut I know in personal life has some kind of problem that makes you think, how can a grown man (or woman) act like that? And if you find out enough about public figures who are wingnuts, it always shows up too. I mean, what kind of grown man shaves an hour off his best marathon time just for the bragging rights?

    People who think wingnuts are stupid have it wrong: They span all parts of the IQ spectrum. But they’re always, always childlike in some important emotional way.

    Republican voters evidently don’t care about anything Republican politicians do. As long as they’re Republicans, they can do anything. I always said that George Bush could hve walked out before the reporters and bite the head off a baby, and the 27% would find a way to justify it, or at least explain it away.

    Even when they get caught having the gay sex, they find a way to blame it on the underaged kid they’ve seduced, and the asshole Republican voters will buy it. They could get caught fucking goats, and their boob voters would wave it away as “gotcha politics” or something. By now, I believe as surely as the sun rose this morning that there’s nothing Republican can do to turn their Republican voters off.

    PeakVT, the trial of one of Walker’s former aides is set to start on Dec 3, according to the Madison NBC station’s website.

    The trial could include interesting stuff, the defendant could avoid trial by agreeing to one thing or another that might involve cooperation against others (presumably including Walker), or the whole thing could simply fizzle, I guess.

    @EconWatcher:

    This goes back to my Grand Unified Theory of what makes people wingnuts: They’re always emotionally immature.

    This.

    People could write a lot of things about “what it means to be a liberal” but for me, it was a simple part of the maturing process. Yeah, I had a wingnut phase as a teenager. It’s easy at that age to believe that the most important thing in the world is for everyone to get off your lawn, that everything will go peachy if it does, that you live in the best country in the world and anyone who says otherwise is just a traitor trying to make you hate it, and other pieces of stupidity that wingnuts hold as sacred wisdom.

    Then you grow up. As part of the process, you learn that the real world is more complex than it seemed when you were a teenager with all the answers, that it doesn’t exist for the sole purpose of servicing your needs and desires, and in short, that you simply don’t exist in a vacuum.

    Conservatives by and large are people who for whatever reason still haven’t gone through that process.

    @Yutsano: Power and authority. In three cases, it was “coworkers” while he was chief of staff; in other words, effectively subordinates. In some sense, a patient puts themselves subordinate to a doctor when seeking treatment, or at the very least is encouraged to regard the doctor as a source of authority. And the drug rep of course wants to sell stuff to the doctor, so there’s a power imbalance there as well.

    Bill Frist is a doctor. I also found this list from the Congress that started in 2011:

    Senators:
    1. Tom Coburn (R-Oklahoma), family physician and ob-gyn
    2. John Barasso (R-Wyoming), orthopedic surgeon
    3. Rand Paul, (R-Kentucky), ophthalmologist

    House Incumbents:
    1. John Boustany (R-Louisiana), cardiovascular surgeon
    2. John Fleming (R-Louisiana), family physician
    3. Bill Cassidy (R-Louisiana), gastroenterologist
    4. Tom Price, (R-Georgia), orthopedic surgeon
    5. Paul Brown (R-Georgia), family physician
    6. Phil Gingrey(R-Georgia), Ob-Gyn
    7. Ron Paul (R-Texas), Ob-Gyn
    8. Michael Burgess(R-Texas), Ob-Gyn
    9. David “Phil” Roe (R-Tennessee), Ob-Gyn
    10. Jim McDermott (D-Washington), psychiatrist

    New House members:
    1. Larry Bucshon (R-Indiana), thoracic surgeon
    2. Andy Harris (R-Maryland), anesthesiologist
    3. Dan Benishek (R-Michigan), general surgeon
    4. Nan Hayworth (R-New York), ophthalmologist
    5. Scott DesJaris (R-Tennessee), family physician
    6. Joe Heck (R-Nevada). emergency room physician

    All but one are Republicans. And I don’t know what the deal is with so many being from the south. Three out of five Republican congressmen from Louisiana are doctors; three out of nine Republican congressmen from Georgia are doctors. Two out of seven Republican congressmen from Tennessee are doctors. I guess a sociologist or somebody could make something of all this, but I can’t.

    That’s not necessarily a power imbalance. That may just be a cynically calculated move on the part of the sales rep to make a sale.

    Back in 2009, Orange County state rep Michael Duvall was caught on an open mike bragging about an affair with a lobbyist for Sempra Energy. And Duvall would not be anybody’s idea of People Magazine’s Sexiest Man Alive.

    Duvall later resigned, by the way. Nothing was ever heard from the lobbyist, but a couple of Sacramento beat reporters had to remind shocked puritans that this kind of behavior has never been unusual.

    Also, too, I want to be clear that if you had more women legislators, you would have more male lobbyists employed as toyboys.

    Well I think it’s mostly because all these people, Republican politicians and Republican voters, are Christians that make it all O.K.

    From my cursory understanding of conservative Christian thought, as long as a sinner reaffirms his faith in Christ, then Christ will forgive him for his sins and therefore other Christians are behooved to not be judgmental anymore.

    From a right-wing point of view, that’s what hurt Anthony Weiner versus someone like Vitter. As a Jew, Weiner had no way to ask Christ to forgive him for sins and therefore could not be redeemed.

    Doctors
    Judges
    Made the money themselves.

I caught Heck on Soledad OBrien this AM – totally not impressed. Was Tom Price not the guy who talking about people bartering with chickens or something to get medical care. I vaguely remember it was an orthopedic doc. who said that crap.

    Also on the previous abortion thread – I didn’t realize there were so many OB-Gyns in Congress. I just wonder, how many OB-Gyns go to school to do abortions? I am guessing basically none. I would think the major reason somebody would want to become an OB-Gyn would be to be involved in bringing babies into the world. BTW, I am not talking about the teaching of performing abortions, all I am talking about is the attraction of being an OB Gyn. So, why would they not let OB-Gyns make the decision of performing an abortion when needed. Do Catholic Hospitals think that OB Gyn’s are going to perform abortions when some woman’s bleeding to death, just because they feel like it? That just sounds crazy.

    From my cursory understanding of conservative Christian thought, as long as a sinner reaffirms his faith in Christ, then Christ will forgive him for his sins and therefore other Christians are behooved to not be judgmental anymore.

    The fundiegelical belief is that all humans are inherently tainted, sinful creatures (first by original sin, then by their own actions), and in fact are so fucked up in comparison with God’s perfection that even a Hitler or a Mao are only a few inches deeper into the filth than the rest of us. Despite this, God, being awesome, is good enough to offer us a salvation we don’t deserve – and all we need to do is accept it, i.e. believe in him. And no, you don’t need to do anything to earn it. Just accept God. Even if you go on sinning afterwards, which you will because that’s human nature, it won’t condemn you to hell. Only rejecting God can do that.

    It’s a hell of a worldview and I can see why it takes with these people. “Good” and “evil” as we understand the terms practically don’t exist from that POV, all that matters is what team you’re on. It rhymes nicely with all the other forms of tribal belief (nationalist, racial, classist) they hold. And there’s absolutely no need for you to do anything.

    Modern fundamentalism is, in this regard, kind of like indulgences in the medieval catholic church.

    Corrupt, is the word. Didn’t the protestantism that is so dominant in the south of the USA, start out in Germany as a rebellion against this kind of corruption? “I went to confession, I said my Hail Mary’s, I bought an indulgence from the pope, now I’m free to sin again and again!”

    Yes, I’ve wondered that, too. I find it hard to imagine truly wanting to have sex with DesJarlais. The drug reps making a sale I can sorta understand, but otherwise…

    I’m a retired medical librarian who used to interview prospective medical students. Some of them came from families where most of their (usually male) relatives were physicians. They were expected to become physicians as well, whether or not it suited their bent. And they could usually get into the medical school where a lot of their relatives went, regardless of grades, MCAT scores, etc. I can’t help but wonder if a lot of the Repub congresscritters who are physicians fall into that category.

    We’re dealing with authoritarians here. The congresscritters are dominant authoritarians and those who elect them are submissive authoritarians. To a submissive authoritarian, someone who talks down and bullies and appears absolutely certain he is right, is someone they trust.

    Seriously, what the fuck is wrong with the South. They re-elect Senator Diapers by 20%, and they re-elected this guy by double digits. Does it not matter at all about the family values they preach? If a non-white person is in the White House, does it mean that bitches gotta pay, damned the word of the Lord may be? What the fuck is wrong with that part of the country.

    @Chris: There are fundies who will placidly explain to you how it’s entirely possible, even likely, that lots of former Nazis are enjoying eternal heavenly bliss as we speak (assuming sincere conversion/repentance before they died) even as the Jews they herded up, tortured and exterminated are roasting in hell (assuming a lack of pre-death conversion to the One True Fath). All part of God’s wondrously inscrutable ways, don’t you know.
