Tenn. Lawmaker in Battle With Newspaper

CLEVELAND, Tenn. - A state lawmaker is warning business owners not to advertise in a weekly newspaper that reported he is dating a woman while waiting for his divorce to come through.

Republican Sen. Jeff Miller, who has represented this town of about 38,000 people 20 miles from Chattanooga for 11 years, sent the warning in a letter Dec. 13.

Some business owners said they resented the threatening tone of the letter, but Miller said he was trying to call attention to what he considers unfair treatment from the free Bradley News Weekly.

In the letter, Miller wrote: "Myself and many others are going to be watching in the next several weeks to identify and remember those in this community that wish to subsidize the destructive nature of this type of publication in our community."

at least not on the state or federal level - cities may have them, individually, however.

This guy's a state senator.

kiddies and isn't kicking in any support, and he's spending all the taxpayers hard-earned money on his new sweetie and drugs (drink), whatever, so what? Unless that's why he's getting the divorce because of some hankypanky with the new love interest while he was married. And he doesn't want anyone to know that he's taking after Newt Gingrich. Or that sleezy Rudy Gulianni.

with the wife and kids still living there (a al Rudy)? If they are getting divorced, and he's just seeing her on the side (different residences apart from soon to be EX WIFE), SO WHAT????

As long as he's still legally married to the wife--even though they no longer cohabit--if he boinks some other broad, that's... adultery! Which means wifey can use it against him in the divorce.

And he's still legally married to the wife until a judge signs a piece of paper entitled "Judgment of Divorce". Just filing for divorce, alone, doesn't free him to pursue "the good life".

I know it doesn't sound fair, but that's the law in many states!

to deny any rights to same sex partners, including marriage.

He was most righteous and public and bloviating about it.

Then, he took his kids, along with his mistress, to several events in Nashville and his wife got upset. Good on her!

I hope his career is ruined.

:rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl:

Sounds like a budding Santorum just got nipped in the bud!

Oh, well. He can always join Joe Scarborough on MSNBC. You know, Joe never did explain how that dead girl ended up in his office...

when she was underage--as soon as SHE receives justice!

And he was divorcing her when that act was passed. The same day.

FRY HIM!

freedom of speech, freedom of the press, the public's never-ending desire to know what every penis in the country is doing right this very moment.

The GOP should just say they're happy that he's having a heterosexual affair with an adult woman, and not anally raping an unconscious narcoleptic or paying Jeff Gannon to be his hard military top or recruiting young boys from gay chat-rooms to intern for him.

The Republicans may someday-- if they try really hard-- finally climb to the level of class it takes to vaginally penetrate a willing adult intern with a cigar in The Oval Office.

For now, Republicans are still the party of pedophiles, rapists, child sex-ring operators, and closeted homosexual adulterers.

And for our Republican Freeper trolls--

Penis.

I said Penis.

Penis. Penis Penis.

Happy?

Hey, you forgot something! You're supposed to say "sarin gas" right after you say "penis"! We have to keep Agent Mike occupied or he might become the victim of a budget cut!

He did leave his wife.

their money and pay their employees with advertisement bringing in profit. for this man to say, you advt in this magazine, and youa re in trouble is bullshit. these businesses really dont care about this mans personal life, they want to bring customers into their business thru ads. and for them to cut off nose to spite face because this man in power tells them too is bullshit.

as wrong--and a case could be made that it's not wrong, since he and his wife are on the outs--the point, in my opinion, is the way he is THREATENING the advertisers to steer them away from advertising in the newspaper, just b/c the newspaper didn't keep mum about his little activities.

Is his personal life relevant, you may ask. Hell yes, in my opinion. THIS IS THE PARTY OF FAMILY VALUES!!!! If this guy wants to be some sort of perverted STD-ridden AC/DC pierced-naval orange-haired drug-using orgy-attending PROFLIGATE, then he needs to get OUT of the Holy Family Values Republican Party, and get into the sexually promiscuous, pro-terrorist, and highly immoral Democratic Party--where blow jobs are just... blow-jobs.

screwing around on his wife for some time, long before she found out and filed for divorce.

situation. I don't know why Scarborough and his wife broke up, but I noticed he decided not to run again right around the time the divorce was filed for. I don't know if Scarborough was running around or not. I just think his wife, er, knew a lot of stuff which seemed to scare him out of running again.

This "Family Values" paragon seems to be headed in the same direction. Aw, what a shame--and just when there was at last beginning to be some representation of hypocrites in public life.:sarcasm:

The people deserve to know when their rep is being a hypocrite.

Ex-wife: Newt knew I was ailing

By BRIAN BLOMQUIST

WASHINGTON - Newt Gingrich won't be winning the Mr. Sensitivity Award any time soon.

The former House Speaker and his ex-wife, Marianne Gingrich, are in a bit of a dispute over whether Newt knew that she might have multiple sclerosis when he told her on Mother's Day 1999 that he wanted a divorce.

For the ham-handed Newtster, breakups are a touchy issue.

He notified his first wife, Jackie Battley, that he was divorcing her in 1981 after she was hospitalized with cancer.

Marianne's lawyer said Newt knew in September 1998 - eight months before he notified her that he was ditching her - that Marianne had been diagnosed with a neurological condition that might be a "forerunner of multiple sclerosis," according to the Atlanta neurosurgeon who treated her.

<snip>

Newt, 57, told Marianne, 48, he wanted to end their 19-year marriage while she was visiting his mother on Mother's Day.

Newt, 57, secretly had been having an affair with congressional aide Callista Bisek, 34, whom he plans to marry next month in Alexandria, Va. That would make the blond-haired Bisek wife No. 3 for the onetime Republican revolutionary.

Newt Gingrich Considers Presidential Run
Sunday, January 09, 2005

WASHINGTON — Newt Gingrich (search) is taking steps toward a potential presidential bid in 2008 with a book criticizing President Bush's policies on Iraq and a tour of early campaign states.

The former House speaker who led Republicans to power a decade ago said he soon will visit Iowa (search) and New Hampshire to promote his book, try to influence public policy and keep his political options alive.

"Anything seems possible," including a White House race, Gingrich told the Associated Press.

The quotable and controversial former Georgia congressman, who now runs a consulting firm in Washington, is promoting, "Winning the Future: A 21st Century Contract with America." (search) He seemed to welcome the thought that a book tour will increase speculation about his political aspirations.

<snip>

Republicans close to Gingrich said he privately has mused about potentially running for president in 2008 or beyond. These officials, who spoke on condition of anonymity because Gingrich would not approve of public speculation, said odds are against him seeking and winning the White House.

If nothing else, they said, Gingrich understands that talk could help sell his book, which goes on sale Monday.

If an openly gay Republican gets "caught" having gay sex with his life-partner, that's not worth noting.

If a closeted gay Republican who voted to ban gay marriage and wants to outlaw sodomy gets caught molesting little boys-- that that is important.

Same thing goes for a "pro-family" Democrat.

Somewhere in The GOP are "moderates" who are in favor of gay rights and of personal sexual freedom. And there are Democrats who are against those things.

The issue is their personal stands on the issues, not that of the party.

I would love to see an anti-gay Democrat outed, nearly a much as I would like to see an anti-gay Republican outed.

Gay or not, I love to see repukelican "family values" guys revealed as having no family values at all. Because in my opinion, most or all of them couldn't care less about "family" or "Christianity" or any of those other wonderful apple-pie "values" they keep waving in everyone's face. And that includes their leader, George W. *.

As a Christian I get so fed up with them using my faith and religious beliefs for power. They could careless. Look at Tom DeLay for example. Remember that "Justice Sunday" (or just us Sunday) they had? He was sitting in the front row acting all goody-goody and godly but he's just a criminal. They just use religion and the fundies for votes and nothing more. Actions speak louder than words. I remember reading how during the Clinton years Clinton wanted to get rid of sex rings within our boundries and one called DeLay over for a tour and he took his daughter with him and they gave him money and bribed him and he came back and voted in favor of the sex rings and they had children (pre-teens) involved in! So again, actions speak louder than words. You can claim to be a Christian all you want, but like James said "faith without works is dead."

And she's above the age of consent to boot!

Maybe the GOP is finally cleaning-up their act.

Anyone seen Rick Santorum and Bobby Traynor lately? Just asking. No reason. You know, folks are asking.

good one

You've won the Buzzflash GOP Hypocrite of the Week award!!!:applause:

(Rumor: Next week's will go to Tennessee's Bill Frist, for pretending to be a healer!)

He must not respect marriage as God intended it.

Not respect marriage?? Why, of course he respects it!!

He just happens to think that a marriage contract is a living, breathing, document. :) Sort of the way our activist president thinks of the Constitution, you know.

Conservatives remind us of this all the time. Its literal, and must be followed to the letter.

Unless, of course, a power-tripping madman wants to tighten his grip on the nation and seize unchallenged power.

"living, breathing document", by now the republicans have seen to it that it got picked up by Ted Bundy while hitchhiking and had the life strangled out of it.

Because republican state senator Miller seems to like to get between the sheets!:)

I remember a couple months ago in a local online news site and he was involved in some "marriage amendment act" and was a co-sponser of it and the day it passed he was getting a divorce himself! Why? He was having an affair with an aide of his who was younger (I think she was mid-twenties or early thirties). The wife was quoted and said gay people aren't ruining marriages but divorce and adultery were.

antics are worthy of notice!
