Apparently Mr Doyle is interested in tracking students in his spare time. As part of a sheriff's office sting operation, Doyle sought out a police officer who posted an online profile as a 14 year old leukemia patient. He apparently even gave "her" his office phone and government issued cell phone numbers. Follow the links for greater detail of else he sent her, and what he asked her for -- I'd rather not elaborate the list.
It didn't specify if he imagined her wearing a little blue dress.
He's charged with 23 counts of attempting to solicit sexual acts from a minor.
Now that's family values.
The Talking Dog notes:
But as far as I recall, the one thing you could say about the crop of Bushies and their Republican allies, in contrast to Clinton, was that it was never about sex. (Don't ask me why that ever made a difference; the irritating combination of prurience and prudishness endemic in this country is a wonder to the rest of the world... and not in a good way.)
Well, guess what? This one is about sex. And the grossest kind of sex: icky sexual advances toward what Mr. Doyle believed to be a 14-year old girl (he is 55). I guess the Bush Administration will write him off as an isolated incident and a very minor player in the great scheme of things.
We'll try not to let this awful news dampen the good news that virtually all of the benefit of the '03 round of investment tax cuts went to taxpayers with incomes over $10 million per year... While Doyle may be a disgusting pervert (entitled to be presumed innocent until proven guilty... as if!)... at least the job of the President's (and the Republican Congress's) tax cuts ensuring that the rich don't pay taxes at rates any higher than poor people continues unabated.

THIS guy is a perv...and should be dealt with quickly and harshly.
And in another tidbit, it seems that Doyle started his appointee career as spokesperson for the TSA -- or as I like to think of it, the Republican full employment program.
Don't get me started on airline security as a tool to intimidate the middle- and upper-classes into compliance. Fifteen minutes with a group of my strategy gaming MIT friends, and we could give you a zillion reasons why the TSA is a bad joke.
So, gosh, I suppose Doyle must have been doing a good job at least, to make them as respected as they, I suppose, are. I suddenly have an image of Doyle as Rove's "mini-me." *heh*
