Oh ironic prick, thy name is this guy

Troy King is the AG of Alabama and, apparently, has been a vocal gay-basher for years, including an attempt to flat-out ban homosexuality. So it should come as a surprise to nobody that King "was apparently found by his wife in their bed having sex with a male aide."

Although the reports are still rumors, there are some details that make the affair seem almost too juicy to be true. For example, the aide with whom Troy King is supposedly the affair was the prom king at Troy University. Some point the finger at Alabama Governor Bob Riley for starting the rumor. This makes sense seeing as Troy King is a potential gubernatorial candidate.

Reader Craig C., who passed the story along to us, had this to say about the lovely Mr. King:

What makes this personally satisfying is that a couple of years ago, this guy issued an opinion to the State Comptroller that essentially overruled an Alabama Supreme Court opinion and cost every attorney who does indigent defense work in the state a big bundle of money by essentially decreasing our fees by 30%.
