Ethics

Fossella Story Gets Worse

By Ed Brayton

I'm sure by now you've all heard about Rep. Vito Fossella, yet another "family values" Republican legislator living a double life. He was arrested a couple weeks ago for driving with a blood alcohol level of more than twice the legal limit and he lied to police about where he was going. That led to the revelation that he had been having an affair for years with an Air Force intelligence officer, had fathered a child by her, and basically had two families, one in New York and one in Washington DC. Family values, indeed.

Now it comes out that this holier-than-noone hypocrite has disowned his gay sister, just to make the hypocrisy even more rank. Because those lesbians are immoral people, you know. Not like fine upstanding men like Fossella. What a piece of shit.
