There's simply too much NAMBLA-powered, wingnuttery goodness over at "Dick Evans' Big 'n' Tall White Sheet Emporium" this morning to get back to work, so let's amuse ourselves a bit longer, shall we? Dick desperately wants to us to know about this:
WASHINGTON - A former aide to Sen. Maria Cantwell is in federal custody after being arrested on a charge of attempting to sexually exploit a minor.James Michael McHaney was fired Friday from his job as a scheduler for Cantwell, D-Wash., hours after he was arrested by FBI agents. The FBI said in a charging document that McHaney allegedly tried to set up a meeting with an undercover witness posing online as a teenage boy.
McHaney, who appeared in federal court Saturday, was being held without bond pending a court hearing Wednesday, said Channing Phillips, a spokesman for the U.S. attorney’s office for the District of Columbia.
According to court papers, McHaney, known as Mike, tried to arrange a lunchtime meeting with an unidentified person posing as a 13-year-old boy. When the witness asked whether McHaney was interested in sex with a 13-year-old, McHaney allegedly replied, “I’ll be there,” the court papers said. He later asked for a photo of the child.
News of the arrest was first reported on The Smoking Gun Web site,
At which point, Dick is all over that like ... Larry Craig on dick:
"Go figure," Dick? Is that what you're asking us to do? Why, sure, and let's compare the two, shall we?
- Larry Craig, a currently sitting U.S. senator, with a long anti-gay voting record, versus
- James McHaney, a former aide who was a scheduler for a U.S. senator
You're right, Dick -- I can't, for the life of me, understand why those two stories might get differing levels of coverage. Just beats the shit out of me.
On the other hand, I wouldn't give up on online searches if I were you, Dick. I mean, sometimes they can produce the neatest results. Hey, like this.
I do love me some Google sometimes.
P.S. Make sure you appreciate that Dick is accusing Fox News of liberal bias.
You just can't make this stuff up, can you?

Lets not forget the Craig dates back a fair bit and the other story is just breaking now.
Let us also not forget that the Craig story might have vanished quietly, except for the fact that Craig continued to make it a bigger and bigger story by first pleading guilty, then hilariously trying to withdraw that plea, then loudly and publicly announcing to the world how he wasn't gay, only to recently have several gays state that they have had sex with him. And gosh, apparently, there's more news coverage of Larry Craig than there is of James McHaney? Well, duh.
I mean, seriously ... duh.
Evans is an idiot. This is just another vivid demonstration of the fact. What a ridiculous comparison. I'm sure even "Marginalized Action Dinosaur" would regard Dick's little exercise here as an utterly futile waste of time.
Since Dick is all about the kids (*shudder*), how come he's not all over this?
While his mother cried in the courtroom gallery, a former aide to an Orange County congressman stood between his two lawyers Wednesday and admitted molesting two boys.
Jeffrey Ray Nielsen’s admission came nine months after he insisted in testimony during his first trial that he never had sex, exposed himself, kissed, or touched one of the boys. That case ended with a hung jury.
Since then, the Orange County District Attorney’s Office filed a second case against Nielsen, charging him with molesting a Virginia teenager he met in 1994 when he was an aide in Washington, D.C., to Rep. Dana Rohrabacher, R-Huntington Beach.
Do you think it has anything to do with the fact that he's one of those ... you know, a Republican? Nah.
Also, aside from the fact Craig is a flaming hypocrite when comparing his public politics and private prurience, is Mr. Evans equating a homosexual adult male (however closeted) who participated in testified consensual adult encounters, to an accused internet predator pedophile?
Talk about the backhanded double whammy.
I have yet to see anyone on the 'liberal' side of events claiming criminals of a Democratic political slant should get a pass. There might be quibbling at times about whether a law they are being judged under is just, but Craig received the benefit of that 'liberal' defense in the arguments about hook-up entrapment by police too.
Ah well, if Evans wants to wallow in comparison of breaking news without follow-up to long established tabloid sagas, I guess he needs something to do now he's not in the political limelight himself throwing around Communist j'accusations.
He and Craig Chandler should get together and form a political party. Alberta is just so under-represented on that wing of the spectrum.
I did a google for James+McHaney+Sex
and got 6600 results
On CNN I got 3360 results
Even FoxNews has 4
Maybe he just doesn't know how to use a search engine?
E:
It might be amusing to Google for the combination of "Dick Evans" and "doesn't know", but I'm just not interested enough in the results to bother.
