"I'm saddened he succumbed to earthly pleasures."
Duvall's constituents shocked by news of his affairs
September 9, 2009 | 2:17 pm

Some of Assemblyman Michael Duvall’s Orange County constituents said today they were shocked and saddened by news of his affairs and subsequent resignation.

"I knew him as a good man who was concerned and committed to this community," said Bob Bowdish, 62, of Yorba Linda, the Republican legislator’s home base. "I'm saddened he succumbed to earthly pleasures. If you take the desires of the flesh out of the equation, he is an absolutely remarkable man, a good civil servant." :eyes:

Duvall inadvertently broadcast explicit remarks about his sexual conquests over an open microphone during a lull in a Sacramento hearing and abruptly resigned from office this afternoon.

2. earthly pleasures like boinking lobbyists for quid pro quos
So what if he's venal and corrupt, once you take that out of the equation he's a terrific golfer.

5. And if you take murder out of the equation,
Charles Manson was a good guy. Charismatic, natural leader.

7. What a nerd, to prefer alien pleasures over Earthly pleasures.
I am open to both alien and Earthly pleasures. Pleasure is its own reward.
