So Many Republican Hypocrites, So Little Time

January 20, 2006 |

Congressman Connie Mack

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

So another family values Republican who ran successfully for Congress now finds himself without a family, a bitter soon-to-be ex-wife, without custody of his children and dating Sonny Bono's widow, a Palm Springs Congresswoman, in the process of divorce herself from her second husband.

Whew, are we reading a script from a steamy novel, or is this reality?

Of course, it's reality, we're talking about Republicans! In this, case Florida U.S. Representative Connie Mack, who has been seen cooing and cuddling with Republican Congresswoman Bono in the back of the House of Representatives.

Mack's estranged wife also dropped the bombshell that Connie was lying when he claimed, during his Congressional run, that he had moved his "beloved" family, which he is now in the process of abandoning, into the Congressional District he represents. As one Florida news report noted about Mack, "During his campaign, he stressed family values and told questioners he and his family were committed to Southwest Florida."

This story has so many twists and turns of hypocrisy, it's kind of like a 31 flavors of Republican sleaze.

Connie Mack is a Republican role model who prefers steamy bedrooms and phony residences to family values -- and, therefore, is our BuzzFlash GOP hypocrite of the week.

Remember our motto at BuzzFlash.com: So many Republican hypocrites, so little time.

Catch up with you soon.
