Republican Follies, Part 2
Wait a second - I thought those evil liberals were the ones who went for that sex type thing.
An aide to Orange County Executive Edward Diana is under fire after he and his friends invited some of the nation's brightest Young Republicans to what was advertised as a booze-soaked sex bash in Boston.The controversy surrounding Diana's 24-year-old staff assistant, Karl Brabenec, started at the Young Republicans national convention July 11, when his friends distributed fliers "for lots of beer, liquor and sex" at a party dubbed, "Karlpalooza '03."
Since then, copies of the incriminating invites have surfaced in Orange County, prompting cries of disgust from women's groups, county legislators and fellow Republicans.
The furor reached a fever pitch yesterday as Diana asked Brabenec to step down as president of the Orange County Young Republicans, while letting him keep his $38,789-a-year staff job.
Diana was not available for comment yesterday, but released a written statement:
"There is no excuse for the fact that an inappropriate flier was distributed by friends of Mr. Brabenec without his knowledge," Diana said, in part. "As the father of two young women, I am morally upset by the content of the flier and expressed my outrage to Mr. Brabenec."
Note the shifting of blame to anonymous 'friends.' It's the Republican way.

Heehee. Young Republicans are always good for a laugh.
(Now where was that party?)

Sex, booze, and head-banging Christian hymns: rock on, you Young Turks!

"I'm outraged at your friends. Step down for appearances sake, but I still want a guy like you working for me."
Of course, Bush would've expressed his "full confidence" in Karlster.

Isn't party sex the thing where two young Republicans hold hands and pray for the death of three Supremes and treason convicitions for all liberals followed by wetting their pants?

if anyone could use a good booze filled sex romp its the young repugnants. maybe getting laid will loosen them up a bit, or amybe with any luck they will all just drink themselves to death instead. either way, as long as no one breeds from the sex at this party, it sounds like a good idea. hopefully they will all drive home drunk with no seatbelts
too
