Republican Asplosion Watch: "Is This On?" Edition

[l33tminion]

California assemblyman "Open Mike" Duvall did not realize he was on the air yesterday when he bragged about cheating on his wife (and his other mistress, even) with a lobbyist. He's on the legislature's ethics committee, and he's a self-proclaimed champion of "family values". He's since resigned, but has claimed that his explicit bragging about his affairs and subsequent resigning-in-shame is in no way an indication that he was actually having said affairs.

Also from Wednesday, Republican Representative Joe Wilson proved he was in touch with the wingnut town-hall spirit by shouting accusations at the President during his speech, raising hundreds of thousands of dollars for his political opponent almost instantly.
