Indiana Republican state representative Phil Hinkle got caught trolling for Craigslist sugar babies two weeks ago. His 18-year-old hookup outed the anti-gay politician after a naked Hinkle tried blocking the rentboy’s exit from their hotel hideaway. The Indiana House Speaker Brian Bosma called on Hinkle to resign, but Hinkle has said he’s gonna finish out his term and simply not seek re-election.
Instead, Hinkle should seek re-election on a pro-gay, legalized prostitution platform—that way he can write off this whole mess as simply “testing the waters.”
Hinkle says, “I am seeking professional help on what turned me down a road of self-destruction.” He might want to know that Marcus Bachmann’s ex-gay clinic is a short 10 hour, 7 minute drive from Indianapolis with plenty of hotels and truck stops along the way.

Well played.

and yet we lost Anthony Weiner for something far less offensive? UGH.

Isn’t he the guy that shot Reagan?

Because the biggest bigots are also the biggest hypocrites.
They call for honesty, accountability and attack others constantly. Then when THEY are found out to be liars and hypocrites suddenly they never ever show any integrity.

Re ‘Hinkle says, “I am seeking professional help on what turned me down a road of self-destruction.”’
He’s no doubt seeking professional help – from a campaign manager.
Politics 101: Don’t get caught with your pants down when you are running on a “morals” platform. He could have avoided sounding like a hypocrite if he had claimed to be a devotee of the Russian monk Rasputin, who came up with the memorable quote, “In order to repent, one must truly sin.” After a binge of drinking and womanizing, Rasputin would typically have something to repent about, if only the mother of all hangovers.

I can just see Queen Marcus sucking his dick now and telling him “let me know when this doesn’t turn you on anymore and we’ll know you’re cured”.

@Guillermo3
I totally agree! I mean really!!!
When is one of these lemmings going to stand up and say; ‘I’m not leav’n, I’m stand’n my ground and every reputable politician deserves a rent-a-fuck on the side. We travel. We need it. It’s part of the job description people!’
I’m sure Dan Savage wood agree, honesty is the best policy.

He doesn’t know why he did it. LOL. I think it’s because he wanted some head. What makes it really disgusting is that he’s 64 years old.

I feel so bad for his poor wife, but hey, at least Hinkle didn’t do it with the maid, like Arnold did.

@slanty:
So it’s “really” disgusting because he’s 64 years old? Not because he’s a hypocrite. Not because he’s a liar. Not because he stands along with his whole hypocritical dishonest party against gay marriage and gay rights. No. None of these is disgusting. Not in the least. It’s because he’s 64 years old and likes 18 year olds. Now *that’s* disgusting! Why? Oh yeah. Because he’s old and crinkly. As if only the young and beautiful have the right to be loved. Yeesh.
No wonder straights don’t take us seriously.

Hey, if you are 18 and have a gig as a rent boy, don’t the anti-discrimination laws imply that you can’t discriminate on the basis of age? You may consider that a good reason not to start a “career” as a rent boy, but I wouldn’t blame Hinkle merely for a lack of geriatric rent boys.
Blaming him for hypocrisy, etc. (See comment No. 16), is legitimate.

I guess I was kind of a bully to him when I raped him. I don’t know why I did it. I just want to give him a hug and tell him everything is going to be okay.
