That train's never late:

Duvall, 54, could be heard boasting about having sex with female lobbyists.
He was removed from two key leadership posts and faced an ethics investigation after the recordings were heard.
Duvall said via his campaign Web site it would not be fair to his family, constituents or friends to remain on the job.
"I am deeply saddened that my inappropriate comments have become a major distraction for my colleagues in the Assembly, who are working hard on the very serious problems facing our state," Duvall said. "Therefore, I have decided to resign my office, effective immediately, so that the Assembly can get back to work."
Assembly Speaker Karen Bass, D-Los Angeles, on Wednesday said Duvall, R-Yorba Linda, was dropped from the Assembly's Utilities and Commerce and Rules committees.
Bass also said she asked the Ethics Committee to investigate.
"I am saddened and disappointed in the recent comments made by Assemblymember Mike Duvall," Bass said in a prepared statement. "There is no question his comments were inappropriate."
Bass said she made the move after speaking with Minority Leader Sam Blakeslee, R-San Luis Obispo.
"I am terribly disappointed by the situation surrounding Assemblyman Duvall's comments," Blakeslee said. "The statements he made were inappropriate and unacceptable."
KCAL9 of Los Angeles reported that Duvall was speaking to someone prior to a committee hearing earlier this summer when his descriptions of sex were picked up by a microphone.
In a recording of the hearing broadcast by the station, the lawmaker talks about a recent sexual escapade with a woman he says is 18 years younger than him.
"I like spanking her," he is heard on the videotape.
"She goes, 'I know you like spanking me.' I said, 'Yeah, that's 'cause you're such a bad girl."'
He then bragged about an affair he said he was having with another lobbyist.
Duvall represents the 72nd Assembly District, which takes in all or parts of Anaheim, Brea, Fullerton, La Habra, Orange, Placentia and Yorba Linda. He was first elected to the Assembly in 2006 and was re-elected in 2008.
Duvall, who owns an insurance agency, served on the Yorba Linda City Council from 2000 to 2006. He also worked as president of the Yorba Linda Chamber of Commerce.
According to Duvall's Assembly Web site, Chapman University awarded him the Ethics in America Award in 2000 for his "demonstration of the highest standards of ethical integrity" while a member of the Chamber of Commerce team.
He was also named Legislator of the Year in 2008 by the California Attractions and Parks Association, according to his campaign Web site.

Yeah, He's human excrement, what's your point. Hopefully, you aren't trying to tar all conservatives with the same brush. He deserves to be thrown out on his ass. That's the problem with a politician who drapes himself with "family values." He is held to a higher standard, unlike Barney Frank, the Progressive, who has a yearnin' for young hustlers. When the bar is so low it can be slithered over, who needs to remember how to blush?
Call me a cockeyed optimist, but I sincerely doubt that that this once great but teetering republic has the wherewithall to pull out of it's self-induced moral decrepitude. A whore is a whore is a whore, no matter whose flag he flies under....

I've always figured that a man who has to make a big deal of his "family values" is probably either trying to sell you something or slip something past you.

Breath Glenn...I didn't label the Republican party the party of "Family Values", the Republican party did. When a political party plays the holier values than thou card as a selling point, you expose yourself to more scrutiny.

I find it humorous that it's every few months or so that another absurd "moment of weakness" crops up amongst the family values corps. Just too funny.

"Yearnin' for young hustlers"...no homophobia there

Dan, agreed.

spot-on objective analysis

[homeless]

Actually it is objective Glenn. Read back. I never mentioned the political party or conservatives. You made that connection.

I simply gave the heading "Family Values Polictician Thread".

Obviously you made the connection. You made the connection because the party has sold themselves that way for quite some time.

All parties have issues. Those that preach to me about being a sinner because I don't fear God, while propping themselves up on a moral soap box...well...like I said. You are the one that jumped to protecting conservatives.

My faith in humanity just climbed another notch.

Wonder if it was made while she was on the Family Values tour bus, touring the nation and explaining why "God has a plan for her to represent Him".

Evidently what she meant to say in all her keynote speeches was "between a man, a woman, and a High Def video camera".

(Well, I'm hoping for High Def)
