Conservative pundit on DC Madam list.»

The phone number of Jack Burkman, a conservative pundit and strategist, “appears in the database of phone records of the ‘DC Madam’” on 1/15/2006. Burkman, a former staffer for Rep. Rick Lazio (R-NY) and a Bush-Cheney ‘04 staffer, recently worked as a lobbyist for groups such as the Family Research Council, Caring To Love Ministries, and America’s Heros of Freedom. Media Matters has more on Burkman here.

    Friend of yours PIP? CT?

    once more… HAHAHAHAHAAHAHAHAHAHA!


  4. Probus Says:

    Once again we find a staunch Christian conservative who doesn’t practice what he preaches. And he breaks the law! This is true hypocrisy. He needs to be called out on it. They preach morality but don’t follow it. That’s a double standard.


  5. spit take Says:

    I’ll check out the Media Matters info, but if Burkman hasn’t made sexual politics or “family values” a big part of his public persona, then I don’t care. This is between him and his family. Just because he has worked for right-wing interests and candidates isn’t enough reason to pewrsecute him in my book.

    Let’s stick with the guys like Vitter, people who have made a meal out of demonizing the very flaws they indulge.

    Seems like a lot of right wing “republics” are having serious sexual issues these days.

    Must be another side effect of global warming.

  10. Heterodoxy Says:

    Florida republican, Sen McCains representative was arrested today for soliciting sex with an undercover police officer posing as an underage male.

    Why are Repukes such deviant loathesome hypocrites?

    State Rep. Bob Allen was arrested Wednesday afternoon at a local park after offering to perform a sex act on an undercover officer in exchange for $20, police said.

    I’m sure he’s cool cuz he:

    1. Got god’s forgiveness;

    And if that doesn’t fly….Bill Clinton blah blah blah.

    Wow never heard of anyone paying to give someone else a BJ. Now if I could just find some women like that.. j/k!!


  14. pluege Says:

    being on the Madam’s list is going to be a badge of honor for wingnuts confirming their misogynist bonifides.


  15. spit take Says:

    Thanks for tip, Wayne; I checked out what Media Matters had and the guy sounds like a real creep, but I still don’t care if he paid a hooker for sex. Railing against the 9/11 widows makes him a d!ck, but not necessarily a hypocrite.

    If I missed a story that had him using his own personal morals as a reason to look down on someone else, please point me to it.


  16. Rob Says:

    It says on his Wikipedia entry that he has public stated that moral and family values are five times as important as the war on terror and the Iraq war combined. Not that Wikipedia is to be treated as a good source but if this is true it should satisfy #5.

    Hey you guys want to see some moral midgets take a look>>>

  18. Flaco Says:

    In this campaign season, if Clinton and Barack Obama and John Edwards are any measure, there will be nothing unusual in Democrats’ talking about the God who guides them and the beliefs that sustain them. Clinton has hired Burns Strider, a congressional staffer (and evangelical Baptist from Mississippi) who is assembling a faith steering group from major denominations and sends out a weekly wrap-up, Faith, Family and Values.

    Faith, Family and Values of coure it the Democrats version …

  29. MsJoanne Says:

  40. Arthur C. Says:

    Thank God that George Bush merely lied to 200 million Americans and only killed 100,000 Iraqi civvies to feed his feeble ego, instead of getting a blow job at work. Now THAT would be a scandal worthy of impeachment!

  42. lestatdelc Says:

    #38 So did your dad.

    Do you understand the difference between consenting adults having sex and committing the crime of soliciting a prostitute are not at all equitable?

    If you want to argue that paying for sex should be legal, then go to it, but CLinton didn’t have to pay some guy to give (or get) a blow-job.

    Besides, Monica isn’t “fat” and is rather attractive IMNSHO.

  46. tarazan Says:

    #38,

    You seem not to understand that the issue is not having sex, but rather the issue is having sex with a prostitute by a person who claims to have higher moral values and selling himself as such; attacking others who do these things as of lesser moral levels.

    Preaching morality and family values while violating own preachings is nothing but a hypocrisy,…and that’s what the issue is all about here.
    It is not having sex with a fat woman,but being a ‘hypocrite’ instead.

    Comment by God — July 12, 2007 @ 8:09 pm

    You should see the Japanese sex spam I get, mostly supposedly from women willing to pay to be sexually serviced. They use characters indicating that the recipient “you” is male, but I, along with undoubtedly a good percentage of the recipients, am female. (There are different ways for writing “you” in Japanese depending on whether the person is male or female; there are also gender-neutral ways.) Unfortunately, for the men who actually fall for such spam, I am quite sure that it is all the sexual equivalent of the Nigerian-style banking/inheritance scams.

    If you get to see it on C&L or something (they usually have those videos), you should try to catch it. It was really good. Keith did more than treat him “decently”, he pretty much let Michael talk as much as he wanted during their time. I’d think you enjoy it. I wonder if he’s interested in a third party movement?

  96. Wayne A. Schneider Says:

    Hi, Zooey. I see we’re all having fun making fun of yet another Republican who enjoyed, and got elected because he did it, telling people how they should behave in their personal lives, and yet seemed unable to do so himself. Sure he’s human, as are most of us. (Cheney?) But he’s also the classic definition of a hypocrite, and there’s no two ways about that.

    If the Republican Party truly believes that what someone does with his or her own personal sex life with another consenting adult is no one else’s business, then stop telling us it’s yours!

    I’ll be back later, I have some mroe writing to do. See ya in a bit. Enjoy the fesitivities and the nightly games of Whack-A-Troll (which I’m sure someone has trademarked by now, though I can’t be certain.)

    That’s the whole point of exposing them. If they weren’t constantly telling everyone else how to live, I wouldn’t give a crap about their personal lives — it’s between that person and their spouse.

    Hypocrisy needs to be exposed.

    Comment by Keith G — July 12, 2007 @ 9:39 pm

    Keith, I think you misunderstood. According to most of the Japanese sex spam I receive, the women are willing to pay you. I got one recently from 26-yr. old “Yumi,” who is willing to pay Y200,000 (over $1800) per f–k. And I keep on getting one from a 28-yr. old woman attorney supposedly living nearby who is waiting almost naked for someone to come over and service her for an unspecified price. If any guy is guillible enough to answer one of these, he probably will find some yakuza (gangsters) demanding money from him.
    But if you want to give it a try, I’ll be happy to forward such solicitations to you. The problem is, however, that unless your pc is set to receive Japanese characters, most of the script will probably come out as question marks and mathematical symbols.


  105. Gregor Samsa Says:

    Comment by The Republic of Stupidity — July 12, 2007 @ 9:50 pm

    Yes, my son, that ought to lesser the sin ;-)

    On a serious note, the Republican party is bleeding out of many wounds that are largely (if not all) self-inflicted. Like in this case. They were the ones who decided to make an issue out of the sex lives of public figures.

    Like any good school-yard bully, they are really not all that smart. It takes a special kind of moron to get caught with their pants down.

    Not at all. It is the good type of sex. Republicans couldn’t make a nymphomaniac in a two year dry spell happy. They just don’t like it that women don’t like them.

    He’s still trying to figure out how a man can have sex without having to pay for it.

    ROTFLMAO!!!!


  125. Marie Says:

    Another one bites the dust - hypocrites: when you look it up in the dictionary, it reads, “Republican politicians and pundits.”


  126. Jack Burpman Says:

    I did not have sexual relations with that woman of ill repute!

    I simply dialed a wrong number.

    Idiot Paparazzi.


  127. Nutjobcrunch Says:

    More Republican Hypocreeps….


  128. Perry Logan Says:

    Who knew wingers could f*ck?


  129. Karim Says:

    Another one bites the dust…nice.


  130. Bob Vine Says:

    I don’t care what their party affiliations are, they are elected officials. As elected officials they should be doing their district’s/state’s and the country’s business. When they get caught betraying the public trust they should be thrown out of office and any benefits, e.g. retirement, secret service protection, etc, should be terminated. They are, almost all of them, toadies and parasites and execution would be too good for them.


  131. Bob Vine Says:

    Al-Queda made him do it. We need to bomb Iran. How the hell do you spell Al-Qeada, Queda, Qaida…………..


  132. Nasty Gash Says:

    Let’s be careful associating telephone numbers with people. People move and drop their TNs. After some idle period (a year perhaps?), the TN is reassigned. I’ve not seen this list so I don’t know if names are associated with the TNs. I wonder how many people will be falsely accused because of TN reassignment.


  133. Siko Dis Systum Says:

    Just goes to show that Politicians are very intelligent people who use their brains. Problem is…they use the “little brain”.
    I’m for a Constitutional ammendment that would require anyone running for office to be “spayed or neutered” first.
    Can I get an Amen…


  134. Lyin Allatime Says:

    Comments from offishal What Horse Souse…

    I never had sex with that woman…oops, that’s my wife.

    Honest Officer, I thought it was a hot dog…and I was hungry.

    I would have never done this if I thought the country mattered…

    Whoa CNN…you can’t publish that. Remember, I pay you…

    Now I can write a book and make MILLIONS !!!


  135. Steve Savage Says:

    let’s hope that the claim of “20 members of congress on the list” claim is real. It will be interesting to see how many “R” versus how many “D” representatives/senators are outed.
    Its good to see some housecleaning is in order.


  136. robert Says:

    Look, you should be surprised and amused when any of these liittle GOP Ethiopian eunuchs manifests ANY kind of sexuality.

    Most don’t get farther than dreaming about sniffing Dick Cheney’s wingtips.


  137. Polly the GOP Parrot Says:

    RAWK! Pieces of eight! RAWK! Clinton raped Paula Jones! RAWK! Sandy Burglar! RAWK! Whitewater! RAWK!

    I have news for you folks. Bush is ‘The Leaker’.

    In the Name of Brutus

    Dames and Gents,

    In times unprecedented and tinged with despair, it is appropriate to reflect on the founding of our great nation. It was not with George Washington, but with Brutus, and not the one who killed Caeser. There was another who rebelled against the tyrant monarchy of Rome, The Tarquins. He wrote the Roman Constitution that would stand for 500 years. His sons sided with the monarchy. The monarchy lost. So to punish his sons and found a perfect union, he immolated his own sons.
    Machiavelli speaks fluently and voluminoulsy and voiciferously on this subject, in ‘The Discourses’, and yet is proved wrong on several counts by the miracle of America. He says that a nation founded in servitude, as America was a colony, will never win its freedom. He also says that a nation founded on fertile soil that is easily defended, will in time loose all of its freedoms because it will become, eventually, inevitably, sloth and sated, and will forget to protect them.
    As regards ‘The DC Madam’, I am personally involved. You can view my involvement at http://www.maytheygetwhattheydeserve.com/KAT.html
    Sometimes a mouse will lead you to a kat, and a kat can lead you to a rat and a rat, ironically, can lead you to the truth. And the truth, as they say, and as it is written, will set you free.
    May all those who sincerely and patiently wait for freedom be free and may all those who desire to steal those freedoms find instead the dire consequences that accompany contempt for a great man like Brutus.

    As regards Machiavelli,
    eram sapiens tamen nefas
    And again,
    vox vocis publicus est vox vocis deus

    May The Republic stand forever and bring the Glory Of The World, with Dignity, into Its Treasury.

    Purple

    Virtue


  139. John (really) Says:

    Lobbyist v. The Private Citizen:

    One thing I would argue, is that all the lobbyists are in no way private citizens and therefore somehow hands-off. You should know damn well enough by now nothing has done more to corrupt the system than the undue influence of private capital feeding from the trough of public funds. K street is full of of these Lobbyist Pimps soliciting Congressional Whore’s services for high-paying Corporate Johns 24/7/365. I say they lost any precept of protection the label “private citizen” might have provided the second they started trying to influence “public policy.”


  140. John (really) Says:
