So Many Republican Hypocrites, So Little Time

Dr. W. David Hager

Welcome back to the BuzzFlash.com GOP Hypocrite of the Week.

As we mentioned a few honorees ago, BuzzFlash just can't keep up with the revelations of Republican sexual perversity. It's kind of brazenly breathtaking to see so many phonies indulge in such public affirmations of Puritanism and such private acts of hedonism.

Take for instance the case of one Dr. W. David Hager, as recently revealed in an article in The Nation. A controversial Bush appointee to an FDA advisory board, Hager is known for "his ardent evangelical piety [that] anchors his staunch opposition to emergency contraception, abortion and premarital sex." In fact, as The Nation reports, Hager was instrumental in getting the FDA not to allow over-the-counter sales of emergency contraception pills.

A fundamentalist Christian, Hager has painted himself as a victim of secular Americans who are conducting a war against the followers of Christ.

But The Nation alleged that the "devout" Hager had committed adultery when he was married and regularly sodomized his former wife against her will.

"He would say, 'Oh, I didn't mean to have anal sex with you; I can't feel the difference,'" Hager's former wife recalled incredulously to The Nation. "And I would say, 'Well then, you're in the wrong business.'"

You see, Dr. Hager is a gynecologist.

As for Hager, he responded to the accusations by announcing that he was leaving the FDA advisory committee in June and that his former wife was just bitter.

Well wouldn't you be if your husband was a philandering back door Johnny who left you checks after sodomizing you?

Until next week, remember our motto at BuzzFlash.com: So many Republican hypocrites, so little time.

Catch up with you soon.
