THAT, my Dear Readers, is the question!
Troy King, the Attorney General of Alabama, and the presumed GOP favorite for the Alabama Governor’s race in 2010 is rumored to be in a world of deep, dark shyte. Both at home and in the political (if not public) eye. The reason? Boy, is that ever a story! Or perhaps, just rumor…?
For the past couple of weeks there have been rumors floating about Alabama’s nether regions (read as “State House”) concerning our anti-sex, anti-gay, tied-way-too-tight Attorney General planning his resignation due to a divorce action filed by his wife, supposedly confirmed by Montogmery’s WSFA. The cause of said action is supposedly marital infidelity of the worst sort – especially for someone with such a public hatred for all things sexual as Troy King. According to several sources, including (and quoting) the near-100% accurate Perez Hilton:
Notoriously anti-gay Republican Alabama Attorney General Troy King was supposedly caught in his marital bed, by his wife, sexing it up with a young, gay, male assistant!!
Whoa! 
(See this post for an explanation)
Let’s remember that this is the same Troy King that demanded that Alabama’s archaic 1998 law against any sort of device that can be used for “self gratification” be enforced by our already over-worked Law Enforcement agencies. It is the Attorney General’s opinion that Government influence should, and does, extend to the bedroom activities of consenting adults – even when alone! So for the last couple of years anyone wanting to legally buy a dildo has had to drive into one of our neighboring States or procure one via mail order. Viva la Internet!
Again, until more evidence arises, and it will, this should not be deemed fact. However, the McCain Campaign has now dropped all mention of Troy King as their “Chair of the McCain 2008 Alabama campaign” which was announced on January 29, 2008. In fact, they have verily sanitized their site! What they failed to recall is that Google caches their pages, so it was only a matter of a simple search to find the original press release. Further, ‘Common Sense, at the Alabama blog, Left In Alabama (see “Comments”), reports:
Sources at the Montgomery Advertiser say that they have been sitting on the story for a couple of weeks. They’re working the story fast and furiously but won’t run until they get official confirmation due to possible exposure to a lawsuit from King. Their sources tell them that Troy King was caught in a compromising situation with a male aide at King’s home by his wife. The Montgomery Advertiser is trying to determine who King would submit his resignation to – is it Gov. Bob Riley? A press release from King’s office stated that he was supposed to be in Mobile yesterday (Wednesday). The Mobile-Register is working the story as well.â€??
The Bull has confirmed that the Mobile-Register is working the story.
Mr. King, you’ve stepped into it now!

It is well known that The Bull is firmly entrenched on the Conservative side of Independent. I’m not ‘pro-gay’ or ‘anti-gay’. I like sex as much as anybody. We were, after all, designed by our Creator to enjoy sex. I just don’t think that it is any of the Government’s business what consenting adults do in their bedroom. If minors were involved, I have a differing opinion. I agree with Mr. King’s opinion on many topics, including the Death Penalty for the rape of children. The Bull absolutely abhors a hypocrite, though!
That said, I’ve got to say that the near-total silence from King, and the GOP in general, on this matter looks like nothing more than a cover-up. Exactly what the ‘Dem-wits’ want! Saying that they (King & flunkies) will not “confirming or denying” anything simply will not make it! If the rumors are pure trash, then say so. Loudly! On the other hand, if Troy King is indeed the hypocritical idiot that he has so appeared to be to any thinking Human Being, then he is not worth the effort being expended to save the shreds of his reputation – throw him in the trash! This will not, and is not, doing the Conservative hopes of 2008 any good at all. Hypocrisy must be one thing we keep out of our elected positions and any other position of power, be it local, state , or national in scope.
All of this kind of makes one wonder what else is hidden in Troy King’s “not-for-prime-time” closet, doesn’t it? Sorry for the pun, I couldn’t resist.
No matter if you are on the Left or the Right of the political center it is clearly time for Troy King to exit from the Alabama Public Arena. Exit, stage left!
We’ll be watching, Troy. We’ll be watching…
Bull, out!
