Frank Figueroa, the former head of the Department of Homeland Security’s program to stop child predators (Operation Predator), today pleaded no contest to charges he exposed himself to a 16-year-old girl. According to the victim, “Figueroa pulled up a leg of his shorts, exposed himself and masturbated for about 10 minutes” in front of her.

10 minutes, that’s imprssive. Usually 10 seconds and I’m done.
April 5th, 2006 at 2:39 pmTakes one to know one.
April 5th, 2006 at 2:39 pmToo old for me.
April 5th, 2006 at 2:42 pmUse a pervert to catch a pervert.
I suppose the old adage is correct in this case. ‘It takes one, to know one’
April 5th, 2006 at 2:47 pmShe watched for the whole ten minutes?
April 5th, 2006 at 2:49 pmShe stood there watching for 10 minutes? I couldn’t even watch myself for that long…
April 5th, 2006 at 2:50 pm…

Ah… another shining example to us all… a fine member of the Bush Cabal…
April 5th, 2006 at 2:52 pmGod, you guys are funny!
May I just say this? Ewwwwwwwww!
April 5th, 2006 at 2:54 pmDoes it ever end……my goodness ……
Who’s next “Skeletor” and a dog…(Santorum would love that!!!)
April 5th, 2006 at 2:55 pmFvckin’ A!!!!
No need to go after the Google search records, just look at the histories in the browsers for the guys at the DHS.
April 5th, 2006 at 2:58 pmThis is just getting ridiculous… what’s next? Tom Delay and a farm goat?
April 5th, 2006 at 2:58 pmJust when I thought things could not get worse for this administration (Iraq, corruption in Congress, officials caught shoplifting), we get child molesters in the DHS.
Child molesters & sexual predators put in charge of protecting the good ole US of A. How safe do you feel now?
April 5th, 2006 at 2:58 pmYeah I didnt see this part….
Figueroa, once one of Florida’s highest-ranking federal law enforcement officers and the former head of a national program formed to target child sex predators, was arrested Oct. 25 at The Mall at Millenia in Orlando.
The guy targets child predators…..are you kdding…only in Bushworld South…..
April 5th, 2006 at 2:59 pmThis is just getting ridiculous… what’s next? Tom Delay and a goat from G.W.’s ranch?
April 5th, 2006 at 2:59 pmI think the coincidence is that they both happened in Polk County Florida, (Lakeland, Tampa) a bastion (if that’s the right word) of the evangelical right, and that they are both local law enforcement busts. Also, Doyle’s was a sting. Was Figeroa’s victim a police decoy too? Just asking….
April 5th, 2006 at 2:59 pmMore proof that we have to Free this country of right wing religous sicko’s
April 5th, 2006 at 2:59 pmWhat strikes me as strange is the DHS is running an operation to stop child predators. Granted child predators need to be stopped, and hung drawn and quartered, but is this part of DHS’s mandate? Shouldn’t the FBI be doing this? or the state and local governments?
April 5th, 2006 at 3:02 pmIn related news, the Department of Homeland Security will rename itself the Super Adventure Club later today.
April 5th, 2006 at 3:05 pmShe must have been holding a falafel. Mmm, just thinking about it …
Be right back.
April 5th, 2006 at 3:07 pmApply pressure because one, you can think of as being an isolated case, two and it starts to look like there may be more. This is going to get a lot worse before it gets better.
April 5th, 2006 at 3:08 pmI guess if you are a pedophile, the DHS is the best job you can have.

April 5th, 2006 at 3:12 pmThink of it - if he can get other molesters off the street, there’s more young meat for himself.
April 5th, 2006 at 3:13 pmBirds of a feather, as they say.
I want the investigation into Jimmy/Jeff’s activity at the White House. We have yet to hear what he was doing there during those extended visits where there were NO press conferences scheduled. Or whom he was doing it with.
“Do we really know how many criminal perverts have been attracted to the GOP?” Randy Rhodes just asked on her show, adding that the GOP stands for “Grand Old Perverts.”
“These people are more concerned with dirty girls than dirty bombs,” she said, and followed it up by reading the names of all Repugs who have been exposed (heh, I said ‘exposed’) as perverts.
April 5th, 2006 at 3:13 pm“Was this what the bad man was doing?”….
April 5th, 2006 at 3:16 pmI’m not defending him, but a sixteen year old girl is hardly a child. That’s the age at which Britney Spears began spreading wood across the land. And honestly, when you’re 55 a 25 year old looks like a teenager. What an idiot.
April 5th, 2006 at 3:17 pmNeocons are sex freaks. They are sick and it is apparent that “he dost protest too much.” Meaning, usually the ones shreaking the loudest about how moral they are and want everybody to be always seem to be the worst offenders of exactly what they “say” they detest.
What gives trolls? Please, I’m confused as to why this is. And you all know it is true and I know you are reading this but have nothing to say. You would rather talk about some chick smacking a cop that couldn’t recognize her (I can’t for the life of me figure out why, she doesn’t exactly look like most of her counterparts) rather than the evil that you are perpetrating.
I suppose if this rule applies, and it generally does, Delay, Frist and a whole lot of others are really sick bastards. I, for one, am scared of these folks and would never want to see them around young children.
FREAKS
April 5th, 2006 at 3:19 pmI also heard that a group of nuns were part of the case against him.
He first exposed himself to three nuns and then masturbated in front of them.
I heard the first nun had a stroke. Then the second nun had a stroke. The third nun didn’t want to have a stroke so she just watched.
/rim shot.
April 5th, 2006 at 3:20 pmTo think a blow job involving 2 consenting ADULTS raised the dander of the criminal christian right. I have yet to hear ONE republiKLAN bible thumper express outrage,or the MSM give this story more than 2 minutes per cycle. More important things I guess like pansy cops getting shoved by a Dem. I wish death on so many of these pigs!!!

I am a Democrat Bible Thumper and what this man did is SICK!
April 5th, 2006 at 3:24 pmAnd, to think, everyone thought that the book “My pet goat” that W was reading is nothing more than an innocent portrayal of life on the family farm. Sheesh…..!!
April 5th, 2006 at 3:27 pmI wonder if he shot her in the face.
April 5th, 2006 at 3:32 pmOK, I’ll ask - what the hell is the Super Adventure Club?
April 5th, 2006 at 3:33 pmi agree; TEN minutes!!

Maybe he was thrown off by the name ” Operation Predator”?

April 5th, 2006 at 3:42 pmLove the people coming out of the woodwork to defend this bastard “16 is nearly an adult!” Because, what, adult men should be masturbating in public in front of grown women? That’s defensible?
And please spare me the “she stayed there for a whole 10 minutes?” Um, yeah. I would have too. Because when I was 16, grown men weren’t just authority figures who I’d been told my whole life to obey, but they were also bigger, faster, and stronger than me. You think I’d want to run away and then be tackled by this guy? Sorry, but the terrified kid isn’t the freak whose actions need explaining here. The grown man is.
April 5th, 2006 at 3:43 pmI thought the Catholic Church had problems. There must be some lawsuits following these troubles. Congress will have to increase taxes on the taxslaves to pay for the misdeeds of government employees.

April 5th, 2006 at 3:43 pm#39- The Super Adventure Club was from the season premiere of South Park two weeks ago. It was done in response to the whole Isaac Hayes quitting brouhaha. Long story short, the Super Adventure Club is a group of adventurers who travel the world… to have sex with children. It was wickedly funny, especially in light of the whole Chef mess.

April 5th, 2006 at 3:58 pmThe problem with these people is the same problem they have with gays…
They get the slightest thought of something BAD in their heads and they WANT it…secretly. They have learned nothing from Jesus. Their concentration is on the old testament and revelations. They can not tell themselves no or dont think that! because they have the get our of jail free card of … going to church on Sunday and telling themselves that Jesus DIED ON THE CROSS AND HIS BLOOD paid for all of their sins…. that is right JESUS died on the cross so they could jerk off in public and be “forgiven” the following sunday… he didnt DIE ON THE CROSS to set an example of how far you should go in denying your own self for others….no that is not what they think …antiChrists.
April 5th, 2006 at 3:58 pmI do it on the show behind the desk.
April 5th, 2006 at 4:00 pmIt’s exactly as I suspected. People who are overly obsessed with sex trying to control it, etc, usually ARE closeted right wing homophobes. I think there’s something about the ideology they follow. Hipocracy is apparently the way to be in the Republican party. If you want to see the list of all the reported crimes of these sexual deviants….

Nobody defended the perp, OK? You’re the type of humorless jackass that cost us the majority on the first place. It’s shrill people like you who are held up as examples of the left that alienate the center.

That’s why they have so many fucked up rules!
They think that everyone is as sick as they are so they try to control everyones actions to prevent the outward display of their own sick thoughts… sad really.
April 5th, 2006 at 4:08 pmI’m sure Bush will give him some kind of medal and pin it on his wee wee.
April 5th, 2006 at 4:12 pmAnd let’s not forget Delay’s and Abramoff’s involvement (or refusal to stop) the sex slave trade in the Mariana Islands, and their dealings with the Tan family. Oh, the slimyness runs deep.

Another spill for Michael Chertoff to clean up.
April 5th, 2006 at 4:18 pmYeah, jojo, it was Democrats’ “tough on masturbating in front of kids” reputation that cost us the majority.
And sure, you weren’t excusing him. Often, when I think a guy’s done something wrong I point out that some teenage girls can look 10 years older (especially to dirty old men) and that Britney Spears got lots of guys hot. That’s a time-honored way of making it all about his actions, and pointing out how obviously unacceptable they were.
Damn all you Bill O’Reillys, though. Now I’m craving falafel.
April 5th, 2006 at 4:27 pmAre you sure you got this right? Shouldn’t it read “Another spill for Michael Jertoff to clean up.”
Just wondering…
April 5th, 2006 at 4:28 pmIt’s now 40 minutes into the Shituation Room with Knob Gobbler (wolf blitzer) and no mention whatsoever of the pedophiles at DHS, but a whole segment on the McKinney crap. This is so disgusting!!! DHS is charged with protection of the citizens and here are members trying to molest children…..write Blitzer and tell him to stop sucking bushs limp dick!!!!
April 5th, 2006 at 4:37 pmWHY DO PREPUBESCENT AND ADOLESCENT BOYS AND GIRLS HATE AMERICA?!
April 5th, 2006 at 4:41 pmYou win #47. I can no longer land a blow as I am blinded by a flurry of hay from eviscerated straw men (and women of course). Kudos to you.
April 5th, 2006 at 4:43 pmHe wasn’t masturbating, he was “freedom fapping”
April 5th, 2006 at 4:44 pmMy only question…
Were Figueroa and Doyle appointees of the Bush Administration?
News stories aren’t indicating whether they are appointees or career guys.
Looks like Bush loves to hire perverts and idiots…
…they’re just like him.
April 5th, 2006 at 4:58 pmIt figures the right wingnuts would try to blame the victim.
It is not the kids fault that the Republican guy whipped out his penis and played with it.
Stop blaming kids for being molested, you Republicreeps.

It is clearly a plot by the liberal media and filthy commie liberal terrorist lovers to use some advanced Iranian nuclear technology on themselves to somehow reverse the aging process by 15-25 years and assume the roles of young children, purely to lure these fine pillars of the community into a sordid trap using a nuclear mind-control ray. Also made in Iran.
At least they didn’t do something really serious like receive a blow-job from a consenting adult.

decade he paid more than $1 million to have sex with a large number of
young women.
Hey You Know what I-Rant-I? there are alot of job opportunities for someone “like you” here’s one in the Conservative sector…
Also just to rub some Salt into the Bush Wound.;
it was necessary to omit any violations of law committed before March 1, 2006, violations of humanitarian laws and negligence, and some of the prior laws to which there had not been additional information added.
With these restrictions in mind, here are just a few of the March violations:
Bush signed the spending bill, knowing that violated a Constitutional requirement that the bill must first pass in both chambers.
He violated the material witness law by using it as preventive detention authority who could commit terrorist acts some day but for whom there is no cause for criminal charges.
He violated the Clean Air Act by by loosening emission standards for aging coal-fired power plants. The Clean Air Act makes it clear that only Congress may make such a decision.
In a legal brief written for the U.S. Supreme Court, Bush cited evidence from a debate by two Republican senators. There was no such debate. The evidence was manufactured by the White House.
Bush defined “material support” for terrorists in such a distorted fashion that victims of terrorists wound up being defined as terrorists.
He approved the ports deal, knowing that Dubai’s boycott of Israel was illegal under U.S. law.
He failed to hand over delinquent mining company safety violation fees to the Department of the Treasury, as required by law. (He also decreased major fines, and did not collect any in half of the caes.)
He violated the law when he secured the UAE ports deal without the required national security review.
Bush’s nuclear deal with India violates U.S. and international nuclear nonproliferation laws.
Patriot Daily lists many more violations committed by the Bush adminiistration, as well as relevant links.

July 27th, 2006 at 5:11 pm[…] It is really interesting to me that people who work in schools and law enforcement seem to be the first caught with dirty thoughts. (see here, here ,here, and here.) Homeland Stupidity made the point a while back that using decoys pretending to be children in these online hunts actually busts people for thought crimes. As much as it bothers me that someone this high up in the federal government likes having sex with children, it bothers me even more that anyone can go to prison for nothing more than the thoughts inside his head. For that’s all Doyle has done. He only thought about sex with children. There were no actual children involved. […]

January 23rd, 2007 at 12:36 pmExcuse me all you fine progressive liberal, mindless Bush-Bashers, let’s remember a couple of facts you all like to look past. It was fine liberals that fought the evil “Bible-Thumpers” from the public’s access to the national sex offenders registry (Oregon finally submitted to Rebulican pressure to become part of the list). I work for the fine liberals who released two from our residential program into our local community, who are not listed in the registry. And Clinton’s impeachment was never about sex in the office on company time (Which anyone of you would have been fired for in a regular job). But, it was about his attempt to avoid due process of law in a civil suit filed by a woman he sexually harrased. The Monica incidents were part of a legal action, that Clinton himself signed into law, where if a victum could show that the accused had an ongong history of like behavior it could be submitted as evidence in a court of law. And the reason you don’t hear the “outrage of the “right wing” is because you don’t even listen to their radio shows or TV programs, only mind sets of those who can’t stand the thought of maybe being wrong. Bet you didn’t know that the vast majority of conservatives, like myself, were long time liberals (34 years old before I changed), until we had the courage the think, “You know maybe truth is more important than whether I THINK I’m right”. All you can do is promote hatred. I used to think only the KKK was capable of such “mindlessness” and mean-sprited babble…until I became a conservative.
