"When Watts arrived, he and Stanley exchanged the memory disc for the $10,000.00. Watts was taken into custody at that time. During a subsequent interview, Watts admitted to demanding the money from Stanley."All this happened in April and, amazingly, Stanley managed to keep it quiet until now. Watts has been charged with extortion. Stanley isn't talking to reporters. At the Nashville Post, Ken Whitehouse is reporting the senator will resign as chair of the Commerce Committee tomorrow. Stanley can only hope that satisfies his Republicans colleagues. But it's not likely Lt. Gov. Ron Ramsey, who is running for governor, will have much appetite for publicly defending Stanley, and odds are Republicans won't wait too long before politely suggesting that he quit the Senate for the good of the party.

Ha, if only my post had arrived right before yours instead of right after, I would have looked psychic!
Here's an idea, why doesn't the entire Republican caucus resign for the good of mankind.
And his wife should divorce the effin toad. He's clearly an unfit parent. What is he teach his son/daughter? A piss poor example of morals in public view.
I bet it was just the bad influence of Rep. Peter Criss.
How about we kick him out of the Republican Party? This is a helluva lot worse than voting for himself for Speaker (as did Speaker Williams). Come on Chairman Devaney, it's been long enough to right Smith's wrongs...........put Williams back in the party if he is willing to come. Let's see, I slept with an intern versus voting for myself?????

Our Tennessee Republican family values guys are having more out of wedlock sex than the rabbits who have overpopulated my vegetable garden. I think all their incessant blattering about reproductive issues and gay marriage has bored into their brains and caused some kind of hormone surges that probably account for their obsession with sex. Now if they will only react the same way to their obsession with guns maybe they will all shoot themselves.
Ah, another "family values" Republican caught hiking the ol' Appalachian Trail...
Tennessee is just a reflection of the whole country. Aren't we lucky or God struck? Whatever? I just love the AT with all the good ole boys!
If you guys figure out how to make this joker resign, pass it on to us down here in SC because we can't get our Governor to resign even though I doubt he has two supporters left. He says God told him that it would be good for his character if he served out the rest of his term.
Those guys from Memphis sure love to use the TBI when they have enemies, and they love to use the TBI investigations they start as an excuse not to answer questions. Wonder what advice Hargett will give Stanley next?
Paul Stanley! Rock and Roooooooolllllll! Do you people want a little bit of rock and roll? Let's Rock and Roll all night and party every day...
Hey we already knew Paul was a player. Check out the back of the Hotter than Hell album! Oh well, if only Senator Paul Stanley had worn the makeup, nobody would have known he was using his LOVE GUN!!!
Stupid "Christian" Conservative "Family Values" Jackass Motherfucker!!!!
What? I thought Paul Stanley was hiking on the Appalachian trail.
Hopefully, we are moving toward the day when our GOP is led by people, like me for instance, who do not grandstand on issues of morality and merely seek to preserve enforce the Constitution in its entirety.
None of us is righteous, no, not one. We are all sinners and fall short of the glory of God. Judge not, lest the same measure be accorded unto you, Senator.
It seems like the Bible is pretty clear on people who attempt to profit from casting the first stone.
I humbly ask the statists and the media to remember my statement on this issue when the dirty tricks committee starts digging through my trash.
Joe Kirkpatrick....is that you Gov. Sanford? The Bible quotes are giving you away.

I believe that is called "a preemptive strike."
I met with Sen. Paul Stanley with a group from Planned Parenthood back in April. He told us that he didn't think young people should need access to contraceptives because they shouldn't be having sex outside of marriage. Meanwhile, he's diddling his intern, presumably behind his wife's back. Hmmm...didn't Jesus say something about hypocracy?
Now the Congressman can go spend two weeks in Europe. I'm from SC.
Joe Kirkpatrick; And we care what the fucking bible says because???????????
This is what happens when you have gay marriage. Nobody ever did shit like this until those queens started marrying up there in Canada. We need to stop them faggs before our dogs start wanting to marry our chickens. It will happen you wait and see!
These republicans make me sick....another anti-gay repuke CAUGHT,almost with his pants down....a Married CHEATING father who can't shut his Sanctimonious Pie-hole when it comes to the LGBT community,another blatant HYPOCRIT! He should be Tarred & Feathered for Judging others,whats that saying Glass houses and stones??
You know.... Republicans are pathetic... but apparently an advantage to the GOP is unlimited sex....
Here's a funny video on who has better sex, Republithugs or Democrats...

If you are in the GOP you catch this disease that causes your reproductive organs to fall out of your clothes. Poor dears, they can't help it, it is like Tourret's Disorder. It is Repug Bug. Part of this disease causes you to be afraid of others different than yourself and trying to write hypocritical laws.
What a nice change from the gang banger stories that are normally front page. These whores keep getting younger and younger
One more lying, hypocrite GOP down, and so many more to go. They are out there passing laws on every type of victemless crime, and giving us moral lectures, while privately they are living lives of depravity. These hypocrites, must have trouble keeping the lies that they tell their Republican constituents (often well meaning religious followers) and the depravity that they practice in their personal lives from getting mixed up. Well, due to a more vigilant press and people who no longer will listen to the “do as I say, not as I do,” line, many are being discovered, and driven out of office like rats jumping ship. When will Ensign and Sanford reisgn? They too preached family values. Does not their moral majority party care, as long as it is a Republican doing the adultery and possible misuse of funds to cover up their infidelities?
Read blogs on the commercial appleal and someone there said the difference between the republican party and the democraitc party in the mid-south is "If Stanley were a local Democrat, his party would be defending him and minimizing the situation as a insignificant personal matter with no reflection on his ability to govern" the fact is that difference between the two parties period is the fact that republican party promotes Racism, Sexism and Homophobia using "family values" as a cover. As a former southerner, and an american I state this as a fact.
The real difference between the GOP and the Dems is that the Dems don't go around preaching family values and what other people shouldn't do it while they're banging away. My take is that the GOP have represses sex so much and now they're busting out all over. Wonder if those men get together with their pumps and talk about family values while using their pumps?
Yawn, this story is getting so common it's almost boring (but still delightful). Once and for all, can we at least dance on the grave of the whole "family values" platform since obviously even its staunchest proponents cannot seem to live up to it? It's time that we do as the Europeans do and admit that monogamy is not really a natural state and when one has sufficient money and power, one will dabble in sexual opportunities that present themselves, irrespective of what one's political stance on the issue might be. My favorite part of the tale, though, is the idea that this guy preferred being outed as a hypocritical adulterer to paying out a measly ten grand to keep the whole thing quiet, LOL.
