A Fool and His Hush Money Are Soon Parted
Step One:
[Utah] House Majority Leader Kevin Garn admitted as the Legislature adjourned Thursday night to a nude hot-tubbing incident with a teenage girl 25 years ago.
Step Two:
The Layton Republican said he entered into a confidentiality agreement with the woman in 2002 and paid her $150,000.
Step Three:
“She agreed to keep this 25-year-old incident confidential. Now that this issue is coming up again, it is apparent to me that this payment was also a mistake.”
We have a winner!

If it had been a male sports team they would have called the goalie a fag and laughed about it in the showers.
@Tommmcatt Say Relax: Ahhh….that’s sweet. I’m saying that with all sincerity.
Does this mean that all the sick, twisted, drunken acts of immorality and perversion which I engaged in when I was a lad are all like savings bonds, and they will mature when my co-participants run for congress, and I can go collect my $150,000 then?
Yay!
@Prommie:
I’M FANTASTICALLY WEALTHY!!!!!!!
@Tommmcatt Say Relax: Oh, shit. Now I’m crying.
@Tommmcatt Say Relax: On account of your orientation, your bonds are both more likely to mature, and more valuable. Me, I’m stuck with a bunch of confederate war bonds, and the less-valuable potential leverage of threatening to out people as enthusiastic heterosexuals.
