The Staton Jones Report

Bush's campaign religious advisor, Deal W. Hudson, has resigned after his illicit sexual encounter in 1994 was exposed.

The alleged victim, Carastona Poppas, was an 18-year-old Fordham freshman who had been in and out of foster homes since age 7. Hudson was her philosophy teacher, a tenured associate professor who had been a Baptist minister before converting to Catholicism.

"He knew I was a ward of the court, without parents, severely depressed, and even suicidal," Poppas told the Catholic newspaper. "He was extremely attentive and genuinely concerned."

That attention allegedly went too far one night in February 1994 when Hudson invited her and several older students to a bar in New York's West Village. They all got drunk, and he had sex with her in his car and office, the paper reported.

When confronted with this, all he had to say was that it was "now being dug up, I believe, for political reasons".

No shit, Sherlock. Now why on Earth would that be? Maybe because your back-stabbing political party chose to go this path with Clinton about the time you were dorking students in your car? You can't have it both ways (and in this case, I don't mean Missionary and Rear Entry) -- either you fuck over every two-faced politician or none. The GOP chose to harrass and expose every Democrat involved in illicit affairs, but that doesn't shield you from your own witch hunts.

BTW, this is the man who put Rove onto the idea of politicizing every conservative Catholic in America. I hope there really is a hell for him to burn in.
