Republican web sites were buzzing with excitement yesterday. The Georgia Ethics Commission is going to investigate a possible ethics violation by the former Democratic Lt. Governor, Mark Taylor.
Georgians in the political loop know that Mark Taylor is no longer Lt. Governor and very likely will never run for public office again. 42 of 43 allegations that Mark Taylor violation ethical standards were thrown out by the Ethics Committee. That part of the news didn't make any headlines on 'Red State' blogs. No surprise.
It was no surprise that the Republican dominated Ethics Commission refused to investigate the exchange of sexual favors by GOP Speaker, Glenn Richardson, and a blond utility lobbyist. Richardson had filed legislation very favorable to utilities. But, the Ethics Commission didn't want to look into any allegations that maybe sex was exchanged for legislation. I guess the marital status of Richardson helped him avoid being outed by his peers as being an adulterer with no ethics.
I'd bet any one that the current Republican Lt. Governor, Lowell S. Cagle, has more skeletons in his closet than Mark Taylor.
I'm willing to wait until the Commission finishes its very important business with Taylor before reminding Cagle of his past violations.
Let's see if justice GOP style is fair and blind.
