Antigay Nebraska Republican urged to resign over sex video of himself on state computer

Source: Raw story/Lincoln Journal Star

An antigay Nebraska Republican state senator is under pressure to resign over a sexually explicit video of himself that was found on his state-issued computer.

According to the Lincoln Journal-Star, the scandal has prompted the state’s Republican Gov. Pete Ricketts to call for Sen. Bill Kintner (R-Papillon) to resign.

The call comes at the conclusion of a year-long investigation into Kintner’s online activities that began when Kintner himself contacted the Nebraska State Patrol regarding “what he believed to be a potential internet scam that occurred while the senator was in Massachusetts using his state computer,” said a State Patrol spokesman on Friday.

Investigators have not disclosed the contents of the video or described it except to say that it is a “sexually explicit video involving Kintner.”

Kintner is married to the governor’s chief policy advisor, Lauren Kintner. He has been outspoken to the point of insensitivity on a number of issues.

I mean, before the big reveal, just when he's displaying his public idiocy about sex. This is driven, a pathology. Pathologies can bring people a long way before they're exposed.

Women are a mystery and do not even understand themselves

David Edwards

A Republican state senator in Nebraska says that his “biggest mystery” is women because they “don’t even understand themselves.”

In responses to a questionnaire published by the Journal Star on Tuesday state Sen. Bill Kintner (R) explained that he applies the “moral absolutes of Christianity” to everything he does.

He said that his adopted parents gave him “the belief system that I used” to be pro-life. But one thing that the Bible wasn’t able to resolve for Kintner was women, which he called his “biggest mystery.”

“No one understands them,” he opined. “They don’t even understand themselves. Books and books and books have been written about it, and no one understands it.”

I am hoping and praying no one will ever release his amazing video to the public. I don't think most people could live through it.

By the way, how many photos of Reagan can a Republican stuff into his office before it looks overdone?

No wonder they won't release his sex video to the public. It must be absolutely horrifying!
