News Bakers

I conveyed at the opening of my blog that I would comment on News shakers, makers, and bakers. This post is about a baker or two.
So how about the latest attempt to "bake" the news.
Let me lead in with - politicians, voters, clergy, and almost all humans that inhabit this earth can face gruesome interrogation when something doesn't "smell" right. Heck, there is no congressional committee with all of its high priced lawyers to formulate questions, that can match the interrogation of a suspicious spouse.

Topic today: Two Michigan state lawmakers have been recommended for removal from office after admitting misconduct in covering up an extramarital affair.
Todd Courser ran on a Tea Party/Republican ticket espousing the core "family" values, the sanctity of marriage, and previously from his web page, "This is not my normal email leading into the 4th of July - Last Thursday was a sad day for America. Last Thursday was a crushing day for those who believe in traditional marriage and traditional morality." Of course, "last Thursday" refers to the same-sex supreme court marriage decision.

So, believe me, I am the last to judge a person, but politicians - they are fair game. Todd Courser decided to "bake" the news. Knowing that multiple sources were on to him he decided to state that he really didn't have an affair. From CNN - "the lawmaker sent an email from a pseudonym in May to other state House Republicans describing a fake scandal in which Courser paid for sex with a male prostitute. The email supposedly was an attempt to cover up an affair Courser was allegedly having with fellow Republican state Rep. Cindy Gamrat.

Of all people/groups on which to place the "blame" !!!"

He talks about blackmailers, news media, and if he could, in my opinion, would have eliminated them as his plan of action (He does talk about letting multiple staff members go).

Todd - a major "I am guilty" and no more would have been what your wife wanted (oh and to state that the inadequacies of your marriage was the cause needs your major reassessment and forget your words about what God wants).
And the Lansing Mafia brought you down !!! No Todd, you brought you down.  Next time - "I'm Sorry " and nothing more would be a better choice.
